Workday and Google Cloud expanded their partnership to drop Workday’s Sana Self-Service Agent directly into Gemini Enterprise — so HR and finance questions get answered inside the AI chat employees are already using, rather than yet another internal portal. Gemini also becomes the default model behind Sana itself.

## The boring questions, in one place

For employees, the workflow collapses into a single conversation: check a time-off balance, update personal info, view payslips, review tax withholding, request leave. For managers, it covers reviewing team goals, approving timesheets in bulk, starting performance reviews, and submitting payroll input. The answers come straight from Workday with the right policies and permissions already applied — not a chatbot guessing.

## Why it matters

HR and finance are the unsexy but high-volume agent target: millions of repetitive, policy-bound questions that today route through portals, tickets, and Slack. Putting them inside a general AI surface, with the system-of-record providing the actual data and governance, is the integration shape enterprise agents need to scale. Workday calls this the Agent System of Record — the layer that decides what an agent is allowed to know and do. Whoever owns that layer for HR and finance gets a quiet but enormous piece of how agents actually work inside companies.
