Workday's New Tool Lets HR Teams Build AI Agents in Minutes

What if your HR team could spin up a custom AI agent in minutes — without filing a single IT ticket? That's not a future promise. Workday just made it real. At DevCon 2026, Workday announced Developer Agent and Agent-Ready Tools — a combination that lets teams describe what they need in plain language and get a working AI agent, fully wired to live Workday data, often in a single session. No cross-functional sprint. No months of scoping. Just a prompt and a result. In this episode, we break down what Developer Agent actually does, why the governance-first design matters for HR, and the concrete use cases you can start building right now — from workforce budget alerts to automated approval routing. This is the AI HR Daily podcast, brought to you by OVI. If you work in HR and want to stay ahead of where AI is taking the function, this one's worth your time.
