 Workday Brings the Power of Illuminate™ into the Development Process, Ushering in New Levels of Productivity and Driving AI-Powered Experiences

Workday, Inc., the AI platform for managing people, money, and agents, announced a new unified, AI developer toolset to bring the power of Workday Illuminate directly into the hands of customer and partner developers, enabling them to easily customize and connect AI apps and agents on the Workday platform.

Announced at Workday DevCon 2025, the company’s annual developer conference, the toolset includes:

  • Agent Gateway. Developers will be able to connect third-party agents to the Workday Agent System of Record (ASOR) to enable seamless agent registration and agent-to-agent collaboration. Partners will also be able to enroll in Workday’s new Agent Partner Network and list their agents on the Workday Marketplace. This will enable customers to select and use the right agents for their specific needs while having a unified, trusted way to manage their human and digital workforce.

  • AI Widgets. Developers will be able to add AI-powered widgets into apps and define custom prompts, providing users with personalized AI assistance to create and refine content quickly across HR and finance use cases. For example, AI widgets can help with customer support, automate answers to common questions, or guide users through tasks.

  • Expanded AI Gateway APIs. Developers will be able to integrate new Workday AI services natively into apps, enabling users to ask questions about reports and understand documents using natural language. For example, a developer could leverage document intelligence to automatically classify documents and extract key information.

“Today, developers are under immense pressure to rapidly deliver sophisticated AI apps while navigating a complex and fragmented AI landscape. They’re piecing together disparate tools and services, hindering their ability to innovate,” said Matthew Grippo, senior vice president, core software, Workday. “Workday’s new AI developer toolset removes these barriers by empowering developers to seamlessly integrate powerful AI capabilities into the apps and agents that will define the future of work.”

Turbocharging Productivity with AI Developer Copilot 

Workday is also expanding Developer Copilot, the conversational AI companion that helps developers code faster, across Workday Extend. Developer Copilot has been shown to increase developer productivity by more than 50% and, now, Workday developers will be able to:

  • Generate App Code Snippets and Data Queries. Chat with Developer Copilot to generate code or data queries, then easily embed these suggestions into apps.

  • Find the Right APIs. Prompt to receive high-context recommendations on the best API for a particular use case, along with examples to get started quickly.

  • Generate and Document Orchestrations. Quickly generate functional orchestrations, then prompt to summarize the orchestration behavior to produce always-up-to-date documentation.

Workday is also introducing a new command-line interface (CLI) tool called Workday Developer CLI. This will help developers automate development tasks, collaborate more effectively, and integrate Workday into their DevOps workflows.
