Enterprise management software company Workday Inc. today announced that Sana for Workday is now available worldwide, providing artificial intelligence-powered knowledge discovery and work automation.

Workday acquired Sana Labs AB for $1.1 billion in November 2025 to expand the company’s platform with AI-driven enterprise knowledge and training tools.

Today’s announcement also introduced a new Sana Self-Service Agent, featuring over 300 skills to handle HR and finance tasks for customers. The tool arrives alongside Sana Enterprise, which provides AI capabilities beyond Workday itself to orchestrate and organize enterprise systems and applications.

Employees can access the new experience through a dashboard in a single place to ask questions, trigger workflows and work with the platform. The company said it will become the new way to work — replacing traditional menus and navigation with a conversational experience.

“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 co-founder and Chief Executive Aneel Bhusri.

Aneel continued to explain that the new Sana launch will bridge the gap between most internal AI tools that exist within silos and cannot easily connect with third-party apps outside of enterprise systems. With Sana, enterprise teams share the same data, compliance context and business rules as the core systems they operate on.

Using Sana Enterprise, teams can use agents to discover and connect commonly used productivity applications such as Gmail, Google Drive, Jira, Notion, Microsoft Outlook, Slack, Salesforce and SharePoint to complete work. The objective of this release is to provide employees and customers with “living” and thinking agents that move beyond standalone assistants and copilots, allowing them to take action across multiple systems.

They can find company knowledge within set boundaries and Workday data and act upon it, and use the tools they’re most familiar with. For example, an employee could ask, “Update my home address and show me how it affects my tax forms and benefits?” or “Update the Acme Inc. contract value to $431K.”

Beyond simple tasks, the AI agents can turn knowledge into ready-to-use dashboards, summaries and documents, making knowledge digestible. Agents can also break down complex goals into step-by-step tasks behind the scenes so that they can automate workflows. For example, an employee can ask, “Set up a monthly workflow to review my email inbox for receipts, check them against policy, and send me a report to approve before submitting.”

“Sana is the closest thing we have to a superintelligent co‑worker,” said Joel Hellermark, senior vice president and general manager of AI at Workday. “It sees the full picture of your organization in Workday, it knows which systems to touch, and it can coordinate the steps between them.”

Sana for Workday and the Sana Self-Service Agent are available today globally for Workday customers with no waiting through the company’s Flex credits, without an additional license.

The company said customers are already showing results. Multiple firms have piloted the new Sana AI-enabled workflows, including food manufacturer Berner Food and Beverage LLC, meal kit provider Cheffelo AB, AI-driven healthcare management platform Televox Software Inc. and the HR advisory firm The Josh Bersin Co.

“We’ve gone from ‘Can we automate this one task?’ to ‘How should this entire process work if we assume Sana can handle 80% of the execution?’” said Televox Go To Market Lead Alexander Bergström.
