Workday, Inc., the enterprise AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, completed the acquisition of Sana, an AI company developing next-generation enterprise knowledge tools. The integration of Sana technology positions Workday as the new front door for work — connecting essential applications and insights within one unified platform and allowing employees to start and finish tasks without switching between systems.
"By bringing Sana's leading enterprise knowledge and learning to Workday, we're creating a single, intelligent interface that connects the systems, data, and actions employees rely on — becoming the new front door for work," said Gerrit Kazmier, president, product and technology, Workday. "We're unlocking a new era of productivity, focus, and flow across our customers' organizations with a complete AI solution for the next-generation enterprise."
"Sana exists to build the UI for AI and bring superintelligence to work," said Joel Hellermark, CEO, Sana. "Joining Workday means we can drastically accelerate our vision and together create a seamless way for organizations to access knowledge, automate repetitive work, and learn with agentic AI."
The addition of Sana technology strengthens Workday’s ability to unify enterprise intelligence. Combining Sana’s enterprise knowledge platform with Workday’s contextual data on people and finance, along with an ecosystem of builders and partners, creates a horizontal intelligence layer across the enterprise. This layer integrates data and workflows from multiple systems, enabling a consistent AI-powered experience where information and actions converge. The new experience will anticipate user needs and deliver proactive, personalized support based on roles, teams, and ongoing projects.
Launching next year, this AI-native experience will serve as a central hub for work, powered by intelligent agents capable of retrieving information, predicting needs, and initiating actions across core systems.
Sana’s technology extends enterprise AI beyond search and chat capabilities. A no-code agent builder enables the creation of AI agents rooted in company data to automate workflows, analyze information, and act proactively. Additionally, Sana Learn integrates analytics, content generation, and personalized tutoring within an AI-native learning environment. Combined with Workday Learning’s governance and compliance framework, the unified system will deliver a complete, enterprise-grade learning solution for the AI era.
