Workday to Extend Sana Agentic Experience Into Claude, Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Slack, and Teams
Workday announced that Sana, its agentic experience and orchestration engine, will operate inside AI tools employees already use, including Claude, Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. A single connection carries each company's permissions, policies, and approvals so Workday's HR and finance agents can perform work in those tools. The announcement was made at Workday Rising 2026 in Las Vegas; no financial results, guidance, or transaction terms were disclosed.
Key takeaways
Sana will work inside Claude, Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Slack, extending Workday's agentic capabilities beyond the Workday application.
Third-party AI tools access Workday data through Sana rather than directly; Sana applies each company's permissions, approvals, and policies and carries out the work with an audit trail.
A single connection brings Workday-built, customer-built, and partner-built agents into the connected tools; new Workday capabilities surface across connected tools without employees learning a new system.
Self-service with Sana is generally available today in Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Slack; a fuller Sana experience on those platforms is targeted for late 2026.
Sana in Claude Cowork is available today in early access; Sana in Copilot Cowork is expected in early access in late 2026.
Examples cited include modeling a planning decision in Microsoft Copilot and proactive expense-report flagging in Claude.
Announcement was made at Workday Rising 2026 in Las Vegas on October 13, 2026.
