Visier’s AI Agent Platform: Entering a New Era of Productivity and People Impact
Visier’s Agentic AI Platform introduces powerful AI agents that analyze, learn, and adapt to deliver actionable workforce insights.
"The future is already here–it’s just not very evenly distributed.” – William Gibson, science fiction writer and futurist
Recall your early glimpses of generative AI, back when Open AI first introduced ChatGPT. Chances are you were, like me, a bit thunderstruck by what felt vaguely reminiscent of science fiction–something you knew was a very real possibility, but on a distant horizon.
But there it was–the future, here now, exactly as William Gibson promised.
Fast forward to today, only a couple short years later, and these early demonstrations of gen AI feel like a quaint parlor trick by comparison. The performance and accuracy of many commercial implementations have proven that generative AI is ready for prime time.
Take Visier’s Vee, for example. First shipped in April of this year, Vee has become one of the most notable and celebrated examples of gen AI in the HR tech ecosystem. Today, over 20,000 companies have access to Vee, representing over two million users. It’s won many important awards, and it's among the most successful commercial products in Visier’s 15 year history.
Yes, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished with Vee and excited for what’s to come. But when you consider the potential impacts of gen AI, it’s clear that the gamechanger is agentic.
Think of it this way: if gen AI is like a capable individual contributor working as your personal digital assistant, agentic AI is like a coordinated team of digital assistants working on your behalf. One high performer can certainly make a measurable difference. But an entire team? Gamechanger.
That’s why we’re so excited to announce Visier’s Agentic AI Platform, which marks a pivotal moment in workforce analytics and enterprise AI, empowering organizations to design, build, and deploy their own powerful analytic AI agent-based solutions. This step function improvement in AI is especially important as companies worldwide address the growing business performance erosion crisis.
"We are unleashing AI agents to analyze and take action on people and work data, both inside and outside an organization.” - Ryan Wong, CEO, Visier
Bits to Bots: Generative AI Evolves into Agentic AI
With Vee, you’re able to ask simple natural language questions to instantly sift through vast datasets, analyze patterns, and get answers about your workforce. Generative AI has unlocked the true potential of people analytics, putting its power in the hands of people leaders, executives and anyone who manages teams, whether or not they are particularly data literate.
The logical next step on this journey is multiplying the impact of one digital assistant with many–a team of AI agents that, through their orchestrated efforts, can take on even more complex and varied analytical work on your behalf. Visier’s Agentic AI Platform will put power in the hands of citizen developers, allowing creativity to supersede technical skills with a low-code no-code development environment. By enabling Visier customers and partners to create their own AI agent-based solutions, Visier is empowering organizations to address workforce challenges with unprecedented impact, precision and agility.
What Exactly Are AI Agents?
AI agents are software programs that can interact with their environment, process data, and make decisions to achieve predefined goals. Unlike traditional software that follows static rules, AI agents dynamically adapt to new information, optimizing their actions to deliver the best possible outcomes. For example, a customer support agent might analyze past interactions to personalize its responses or escalate complex queries to a human.
Among many key distinguishing characteristics behind AI agents are their autonomy, ability to learn, and rational decision-making. These characteristics make them invaluable in automating complex workflows, enhancing decision-making, and improving both employee and customer experiences.
“Agentic AI is the single clearest demonstration of how AI will forever change how we work— and how we work with data. Unlike other agentic AI platforms that focus on automation of workflows, we’re fixated on an equally important, but distinctly different challenge: unleashing AI agents to analyze people and work data, both inside and outside an organization, to quickly deliver the answers and recommendations that drive workforce impact.” - Ryan Wong, co-founder and CEO, Visier.
Visier Agentic AI Platform: A New Era of Analytics
Visier’s Agentic AI Platform allows users to go beyond automating tasks, instead creating AI agents that provide deep problem solving insights by analyzing people and work data across internal and external systems. Whether it’s identifying workforce trends, evaluating employee performance, or predicting future needs, these AI agents can act as trusted advisors, delivering actionable recommendations in real-time.
Some key capabilities of the Visier Agentic AI Platform include:
Low-Code Development: The platform allows even non-technical users to design AI agent-based solutions using a low-code/no-code environment.
Enterprise Data Integration: Unlike traditional large language models (LLMs), AI agents built using Visier’s platform are tailored to work seamlessly with enterprise data, ensuring the accuracy and reliability expected for business-critical decisions.
360° Workforce Insights: The platform aggregates data from multiple sources, enabling AI agents to provide a holistic view of your people, their work, and their impact on results.
Imagine, for example:
An IT organization or systems integrator could build a solution that allows managers to ask the Visier AI Agent to compile insights for understanding an employee’s activity, output and achievements over a six-month period and how this compares with peers.
A talent acquisition software vendor could use the platform to create a virtual assistant inside its products that automatically parses resumes, or helps to compile and distribute monthly reports with relevant insights to a diverse set of audiences at scale.
An IT organization or systems integrator could use the platform to create an AI agent-based sales manager assistant to compile and present a report in advance of a sales forecast meeting; or a win/loss analysis in support of a post-mortem review, emailing updates to all relevant stakeholders.
Building on a Legacy of Innovation
The Visier Agentic AI Platform represents the next giant leap in AI, and it is an important part of Visier’s “Open for Builders” strategy, where we are giving customers and partners the tools to create their own custom Workforce AI solutions built atop our innovations. By democratizing access to AI capabilities, we’re enabling leaders across all functional domains to turn workforce data into new sources of cost-effective business impact and sustainable competitive advantage.
