Episode notes
Workday Gains A Natural Language Agent Front End
- Workday customers can now use the SANA agent interface on top of Workday to query data and execute transactions in natural language.
- SANA inherits Workday security and lets users pick LLM models, add files, and access Workday data per their privileges.
Build Agent Apps With SANA Workflows
- SANA includes a low-code development environment called SANA Workflows for building agent apps with branching logic and prompt chains.
- You can create apps like travel, expense, and onboarding flows that integrate into Workday transactions.
Use Galileo To Make Workday Conversational
- Leverage Galileo (an agent built on SANA) to let employees ask English questions about HR and leadership instead of hunting for Workday transactions.
- Galileo sits inside SANA so managers and employees get conversational access to Workday data.
