Agents FAQs.

How does Sana orchestrate Workday agents?

As the central experience layer, Sana interprets user intent and coordinates multi-step workflows across Workday-native agents while routing actions through the Agent System of Record (ASOR) to maintain unified security and auditability. This gives users a seamless, single conversational interface for all tasks, while providing IT with centralized control and compliance across every agentic interaction.

How do AI agents differ from traditional chatbots?

Can AI agents take actions on behalf of employees or managers?

Yes. AI agents are designed to move beyond simply providing answers and can autonomously complete tasks and take action on behalf of employees and managers. This saves time by handling everyday requests and streamlining multistep processes, all with appropriate human oversight and visibility into those agent decisions and actions.

How can I be sure I’m getting value from AI agents?

What steps should companies take to get started with AI agents?

Start by identifying high-impact business processes or employee friction points where agents can add the most value. Next, enable existing AI features you already have through Workday to complement and enhance agent capabilities. Finally, prepare your organization by equipping your workforce to interact with AI, including developing new skills, adapting workflows, and fostering a culture of collaboration with AI agents.

Do AI agents replace human workers or just assist them?

Our AI agents are designed to augment human workers, not replace them. We take responsible AI seriously, holding ISO 42001 accreditation and independent attestation of alignment with the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The primary goal of Workday agents is to free your people to focus on higher-value work, such as strategic analysis and complex problem-solving, where human skills are most impactful.

Are AI agents available out of the box in Workday or fully customizable?

How do I buy Workday AI agents?

Workday AI agents are available through Workday Flex Credits, a transparent, flexible pricing model that gives you access to AI agents and our latest AI platform innovations.

Flex Credits are credits purchased in bulk and applied across any eligible agent or platform innovation. When you are on the Flex Credit model, you gain immediate access to our latest AI innovations and capabilities as they are released. No waiting for signatures. No new procurement cycles.
