On November 4, 2026, at its annual ENGAGE conference in Seattle, Smartsheet unveiled vsActual, a standalone AI-native product designed to show leaders in real time whether work across the organization is on track against stated priorities. The product is built on what Smartsheet calls the Execution Graph, a knowledge graph drawn from nine petabytes of workflow data and millions of historical projects, which the company says allows the system to understand how tasks relate to broader programs and strategic goals.
AI agents inside vsActual continuously monitor for budget overruns, schedule delays, and resource conflicts, and can flag problems before they reach a formal review cycle. The product connects to Oracle, SAP, Workday, Salesforce, and Slack, so organizations do not need to move all their work into Smartsheet to use it. A separate drift-detection agent runs in the background and generates alerts and executive summaries as conditions change.
Smartsheet also announced new agentic workflows and security controls for its existing work management platform at the same event. For project management offices and finance teams, vsActual represents a new product category worth evaluating alongside existing portfolio management tools. Organizations interested in the product can register for updates at smartsheet.com/vsactual; pricing details have not yet been published.
