Typical chatbots force co-writers to leave shared docs. Our #CHI2026 paper explores collaborative AI use in shared docs via 3 features:
🤖 Shared agent profiles
☑️ Repeatable tasks, triggered by users or system
💬 Agents respond in shared comments

Key findings (14 teams, 1 week):
📍Profiles were seen as personal territory but it's ok to interact with others' agents/tasks/comments
📍User-initative preferred
📍Thus, teams incorporated agents into social collaboration norms, rather than treating them as "equal" team members.
