Collaborating with AI Agents: A Field Experiment on Teamwork, Productivity, and Performance
This study investigates the impact of AI agents on teamwork, productivity, and performance through a large-scale field experiment. It explores communication patterns, work processes, and output quality in human-AI vs. human-human teams, using a novel platform called Pairit.
Executive Impact: The ROI of AI Collaboration
AI agents significantly enhance productivity and reshape collaboration dynamics, leading to higher output per worker and improved text quality in creative tasks. However, a trade-off in image quality was observed, highlighting the need for specialized multimodal AI. The Pairit platform offers a new framework for studying human-AI collaboration.

Ad Quality & Effectiveness
Our analysis revealed a significant shift in how human-AI teams operate compared to human-human teams. Humans interacting with AI communicated more frequently but engaged in less direct text editing, shifting their focus to instruction and suggestion.
AI collaboration significantly boosted individual productivity. Humans in human-AI teams submitted 73% more ads than their human-human counterparts, achieving similar team-level output with half the human resources.
AI collaboration led to higher quality ad text but lower quality ad images in human evaluations. However, ads with higher text quality (human-AI) and higher image quality (human-human) both performed significantly better in real-world click-through rates and view duration.

Case Study: Real-World Ad Campaign Performance
Field tests of ad campaigns generating ~5M ad impressions revealed critical performance drivers.
Ads with higher image quality (often produced by human-human teams) and higher text quality (often produced by human-AI teams) performed significantly better on click-through rates, view-through rates, and cost-per-click metrics. This highlights the importance of leveraging human strengths in visual tasks while maximizing AI's text generation capabilities for optimal real-world impact.
