Workday introduces new capabilities for building and verifying AI agents
Workday Inc. today announced new capabilities aimed at providing developers new ways to build on top of its platform using their own tools.
During DevCon 2026, the company’s annual developer conference, Workday unveiled a new Developer Agent and Agent-Ready Tools to take developers from simple requests directly to working apps or agents within minutes. The new Agent Passport provides independent, third-party verification for agents, showing that they’re safe to deploy.
“Agentic AI is not incremental change for developers; it’s permanently rewriting the playbook,” Jay Wieczorkowski, vice president and general manager of developer platform, told SiliconANGLE in an interview.
This makes for the largest update to date to Workday Build, the company’s developer platform, since the company baked low-code and no-code development tools into its tooling. Wieczorkowski pointed out that modern-day developers do more than just write code; they must maintain enterprise truth anchored in the artificial intelligence agents that they’re building.
