Human resources technology provider Workday said it has acquired Flowise, a low-code platform for building AI agents, in a move designed to give users more tools to automate HR and finance processes. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Beaverton, Ore.-based Flowise enables users to design and deploy AI agents in a visual environment. Its platform is built on an open-source foundation that Workday said it plans to leverage and invest in. Flowise said its technology has processed millions of chats and workflows for customers in sectors including consulting, finance, healthcare and customer support.
“Making AI agent development reliable and accessible is a major technical challenge,” said Peter Bailis, Chief Technology Officer, Workday. “By bringing Flowise into Workday and investing in its open-source foundation, we are empowering our customers and partners to build and deploy their own AI agents on Workday. Flowise’s powerful platform makes this process simple, intuitive, and transparent.”
Workday said the acquisition will give customers and partners the ability to build agents more quickly, tailor workflows with fine-grained control, and maintain oversight through enterprise-grade observability and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
