Workday AI integration and expansion

Overview

Workday has expanded its artificial intelligence capabilities through new product launches and strategic acquisitions.

On October 14, 2026, the company introduced ‘Work Intelligence,’ a tool designed to manage how AI alters specific job tasks and required skill sets. This initiative aims to help organizations identify which functions can be augmented by AI and where employees need additional training.

Following this, Workday announced a binding agreement to acquire C1.ai, a specialist in identity and access management. The acquisition, announced during the Workday Rising conference, is intended to enhance AI agent governance by linking personnel events with the automated granting and revocation of digital permissions for both human employees and autonomous software systems. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2027.
