Workday brings Josh Bersin's Galileo HR research agent into Sana

Workday and The Josh Bersin Company will make Galileo, the HR research firm's AI advisory agent, available to Workday customers in Sana, Workday's agent platform, the companies said in a press release.

Galileo answers questions in plain language using more than 50,000 pages of The Josh Bersin Company's research on hiring, employee development, workforce planning, leadership and organisational design. A manager planning to expand into a new market, for example, could ask how other companies handled similar expansions, which skills they needed and how they staffed up quickly. Inside Sana, Galileo works alongside Workday's own agents and data and under customers' existing security policies.

Workday presents the deal as part of an open approach in which specialist partner agents run inside its platform. "By bringing specialized partner agents like Galileo into Sana, we are giving organizations a trusted advisory resource right in their daily workflow," said Nikki Helmer, a vice president at Workday. The release does not give pricing or a date.
