Summary
Section titled “Summary”The speaker says tests comparing agents that call raw APIs directly with agents using WorkIQ found that WorkIQ can reduce token consumption by up to 80% and make agents up to 2x faster. WorkIQ surfaces real-time context and signals that help agents select suitable tools and build more efficient plans. Those plans use fewer tokens and reach a result faster.
Key points
Section titled “Key points”- Coding agents can call APIs directly or use WorkIQ.
- In the tests described, using WorkIQ consumed up to 80% fewer tokens.
- Agents using WorkIQ could be up to 2x faster.
- Agents build a plan from the available tools to respond to a task or prompt.
- WorkIQ surfaces real-time context to help agents select the right tools.
- WorkIQ provides signals that help agents build an efficient plan.
- More efficient plans can reduce token use and get to a result faster.

Concepts and entities
Section titled “Concepts and entities”Full transcript (original language)
Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 When we’ve run our tests around like, hey, what is what does an agent look like that just hits our raw APIs directly? Because these coding agents can just call the APIs we have directly versus through Work IQ, we see that through Work IQ, you get up to 80% fewer tokens consumed by that agent and can be up to 2x times faster. And like so so like why is that the case? Because and I think it’s important to understand that you know, when an agent kind of looks at kind of like a set of tools in order to
00:30 kind of respond to a given task or prompt, it builds a plan. And we’ve done a bunch of optimization in terms of surfacing kind of the real-time context to help the agent kind of select the right tools. But also we have kind of like an efficient kind of like set of signals tell built allow it to build the right plan. So, if you have an agent that builds against Work IQ, it’s going to build a more efficient plan, which is going to mean fewer tokens spent overall and it’s going to kind of get there faster.
