Workday's AI agent platform for HR, finance, IT and legal workflows, running on Workday's own transaction data -- rebranded from 'Illuminate' in March 2026 after Workday's $1.1B acquisition of Sana closed in November 2025.
Writer
Application
Universal context layer that grounds AI agents in a company's Agent Memory (captured decisions and preferences) and Company Standards (brand, tone, compliance), listed in WRITER's own top-level product navigation alongside Models, AI Studio, WRITER Agent and WRITER for Slack.
Reusable, repeatable workflows in WRITER, so a piece of work done once can be run the same way again.
AI agent
An agent that plans and carries out multi-step work across a customer's own data and tools, under enterprise governance controls.
Agent platform
WRITER's build surface: business teams assemble agents on an interoperable platform while technology teams keep visibility and governance over what ships.
No counterpart
Writer sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Workday yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
Platform
WRITER's retrieval layer. A specialised LLM reads a customer's own documents, spreadsheets, slides and PDFs and builds a graph of the semantic relationships between them rather than storing vector embeddings, so retrieval can follow multi-hop connections, break a broad question into sub-questions and return specific source citations before WRITER's Palmyra models generate the answer.
