Workday said it has acquired Flowise, a platform to create AI agents and automate workflows. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
In a nutshell, Flowise has a low-code platform with modular building blocks ranging from workflows to autonomous agents. The Y Combinator backed company has a free tier, a starter version that runs $35 a month and a pro version for mid-sized companies for $65 a month. There's also an enterprise version.
Flowise appears to have developer cred with high ratings on GitHub and an affiliate program for referrals. Flowise's platform covers AI development from prototyping to building to evaluation and analytics in a flow to move to production.
For Workday, Flowise could give it the ability to more easily turn its data, processes and financial and human capital workflows into AI-powered autonomous agents.
Holger Mueller, an analyst at Constellation Research, said Flowise fills a gap at Workday.
"Workday needs to accelerate its AI roadmap and the acquisition of Flowise brings a key capability to Workday's AI plans. Flowise's strong workflow capabilities should allow Workday to convert many existing workflows into AI agents - a good start for helping customers. Now all eyes are on Workday Rising where the new AI strategy, roadmap and deliverables are likely to be presented."
Workday CTO Peter Bailis said Flowise's open-source foundation will give customers the ability to build, customize and deploy their own AI agents on the Workday platform. Given Workday's reach, the company should be able to scale Flowise, which operates in multiple verticals.
