FAQs.
What are Sana AI agents?
AI agents are systems that can understand details across contexts, reason through situations, plan toward a goal, take autonomous action within human-defined parameters, and learn from experience. With Sana from Workday, AI agents can be built directly into Workday to automate processes and enable new AI-driven business workflows.
How do AI agents differ from traditional chatbots?
Chatbots don’t “think”—they rely on pre-programmed logic, respond only when prompted by a user, and can’t learn from experience or adapt to unfamiliar situations.
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?
Workday Agent System of Record provides deep agent analytics and clear visibility into the ROI you’re getting from each agent. This ensures you have the data to prioritize the AI capabilities that are delivering the most value.
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?
Sana agents are broad in scope and supported by dedicated engineering teams, a product roadmap, and multiple agent skills. Some capabilities are available out of the box, while others are customizable. Each agent’s skills can be managed at a granular level within the Workday Agent System of Record.
