01 · Agents and AI strategy
An AI roadmap your CIO will sign off on.
We separate the demos from the durable use cases, map the risk, and sequence the pilots. Phase 0 is four weeks, three people, fixed fee, and the deliverables are yours to keep.
Workday Rising US 2026Las Vegas, NV · October 12–15
Rick and Matt will be at Rising. Come and talk agents.
Both managing partners are in Las Vegas for the full week. We were the first partner with access to Workday's Developer Agent, and we work with leading customers to define their agent strategy and get the implementation live. We would be happy to sit down with you and do the same.
30 minutes with the people who would actually do the work.

Early adopter
We have been building on the Developer Agent since before it had a name.
Being early is only useful if it turns into something you can deploy. It has. Agents are live in customer tenants today, inside the same Workday security model, audited end to end, with the HRIS team owning them after we leave.
Ecosystem
Early access to new Extend capabilities, a direct line into the product roadmap, and multiple Workday hackathon wins.
In production
Agents running in customer tenants, governed by your business processes, with evaluation gates on every change.
EU delivery
100% EU-based delivery, EU-resident data. AI Act and GDPR posture documented per use case.
The honest taxonomy
Not everything is an agent.
Every vendor at Rising will call their feature an agent. The label sells, but it muddies the case for what you actually need to build, and it makes governance harder when nobody agrees what an agent is. Nine approaches, from a ChatGPT habit to a fully autonomous agent. Hover any triangle.
Bring us what you are building and we will place it on this map, then tell you the smallest approach that does the job. How we use it →
What we do
We support you with all innovation, from Extend to Agents.
Pick the one that matches the next email in your inbox. Bring it to the booth and we will tell you what we would do.
02 · Agent development
From design to live in your tenant.
A senior pod ships one production agent at a time, paired with your engineers from day one. Frame, design, build, hypercare. 12 to 20 weeks, fixed fee per phase, stop-or-continue gates between them.
03 · Extend services
Apps your team owns, not a black box.
One Workday-native experience instead of a sprawl of point solutions, built inside Workday's security and data model. Your people learn how it is built, so they can extend it themselves later.
04 · Workday products
Apps your team can use next quarter.
5 apps live on the marketplace, used by more than a million Workday users. Install in days, full go-live in 8 weeks, biannual releases and a customer-voted roadmap.
Agents in our roadmap
The agents we are building right now.
Some are live in customer tenants today. Others are in active development. All are designed to live inside Workday. They are also a starting point: we build custom agents on your use cases, often by extending or composing these.
Clean
A data-quality agent that continuously scans Workday for inconsistencies, duplicates and stale records. Drafts the fixes for your team to approve, with a full audit trail.
Manager Assistant
Guides managers through job changes, terminations and comp adjustments. Drafts the right business process steps and routes for approval. The end of “how do I do this in Workday?” tickets.
GROW Agent
An always-on growth partner for every employee. Sets meaningful goals, recommends related learning, and nudges before goals go stale. Coaching that scales beyond the annual review.
Integration Agent
Monitors every integration touching Workday. Spots failures, drafts diagnostic notes, suggests fixes and opens the ticket. Stops integrations from being the silent cause of payroll incidents.
Org Management
Continuously reviews your organisation structure. Flags naming drift, position-management issues, span-of-control outliers and orphaned reports. Org health without the quarterly clean-up.
Custom build
Bring it to the booth →Your agent, bespoke
An agent built for your HR use case, often by extending or composing the agents here.
Who you’ll meet
Both managing partners are in Las Vegas.
You book a slot, you get a partner. No account manager in between, no follow-up call to reach someone who can answer the question.
Rick Leunisse
Managing partner
Agent architecture, Extend delivery, and the awkward governance questions.
Matt Komendołowicz
Managing partner
Product, marketplace apps, and what it takes to run them at scale.
Meet us if you want to bring back actual ideas you can implement, instead of only hype.
Pick a topic, pick a time, tell us what hurts. 30 minutes at Rising, or a working session after the show if the week is already full.
