Workday to Bring Sana Across Claude, Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Slack, and Teams
Workday announced that Sana, its agentic experience and orchestration engine, will operate inside third-party AI tools and platforms employees already use, including Claude, Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Slack. The integration is designed to let Workday's HR and finance agents execute work in those environments while keeping each company's permissions, policies, and approvals anchored in Workday. The announcement was made at Workday Rising 2026 in Las Vegas.
Key takeaways
Sana is positioned as Workday's agentic experience and orchestration engine, layering Workday agents and policy enforcement on top of third-party AI tools rather than granting those tools raw access to Workday data.
Self-service with Sana is generally available today in Google Cloud's Gemini Enterprise, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and Slack, with broader Sana availability on those platforms planned for late 2026.
Sana in Claude Cowork is available today in early access; Sana in Copilot Cowork is expected to reach early access in late 2026.
A single connection brings Workday-built, customer-built, and partner-built agents into connected tools, with new Workday capabilities propagating across those tools without additional customer integration work.
