Workday brings superintelligence to work via new AI offering

Workday, Inc. has unveiled Sana from Workday, a superintelligence for work, designed to bring AI into the core business systems and processes.

“AI only works in the enterprise when it’s connected to trusted, deterministic systems, and that hybrid architecture is exactly what Workday is building,” said Aneel Bhusri, co-founder, CEO and chair, Workday. “Sana is what brings it all together. It’s not just a new Workday experience—it’s a powerful way for people to search, reason, and orchestrate work across the enterprise.”

• Sana Self‑Service Agent can instantly find and summarise information from Workday and other knowledge sources, so employees get clear, personalised answers to their questions right away.
