AI agents for Workday
A Monmo agent works in Workday like an assistant who knows where everything lives in your tenant. It summarises the tasks waiting in your Workday inbox, drafts job requisitions from a hiring manager's notes, runs the reports you have access to and explains what changed, prepares expense reports from receipts and gets new starters' first week organised. It works with your own Workday access and asks before submitting anything.

What agents do in Workday
Summarise your Workday inbox
Each morning it reads the tasks waiting in your Workday inbox, such as time off, expense reports and job changes, and gives one line on each with what it needs from you. The decisions stay yours.
AskEvery weekday at 8, summarise what is waiting in my Workday inbox and flag anything due today.
Draft job requisitions
From a hiring manager's notes it drafts the requisition: job profile, supervisory organisation, location, target start date and the posting text. Submitting it starts the approval process, so that step asks first.
AskDraft a requisition for a second data engineer in Lisbon from Ana's notes, with a job posting. Don't submit it yet.
Run reports and explain the changes
Ask for headcount by supervisory organisation or open requisitions by region, and it runs the report you have access to, exports it to Excel and writes three sentences on what changed since last month.
AskRun the headcount report for my organisation, put it in Excel and tell me what changed since October.
Prepare expense reports from receipts
It collects receipts from Outlook and your files, builds the expense report with dates, categories, amounts and business purpose, and attaches each receipt. Submitting the report for reimbursement asks first.
AskBuild my Workday expense report for the Berlin trip from the receipts in my inbox, and show it to me before submitting.
Organise a new starter's first week
Before a new hire starts it checks their onboarding tasks in Workday, reminds owners in Microsoft Teams about anything open, and drafts first-week meetings in Outlook that are booked once you allow them.
AskRavi starts Monday. Check his onboarding tasks, chase anything open and draft his first-week meetings.
Prepare compensation review sheets
For a review cycle it gathers each team member's current pay, last change date and job profile from the reports you can run into an Excel sheet for the manager. Recommendations and decisions stay with people.
AskPrepare a sheet for my team's compensation review with current pay and last change date for each person.
Request time off for you
Tell it the dates and it checks your balance and team calendar, drafts the request with the right time off type and asks you before submitting it in Workday.
AskRequest annual leave for 23 to 27 December. Check my balance first and show me before you submit.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Workday access once. What the agent can see and do follows your security groups in Workday, and many organisations require IT to approve any new connection to their tenant first.
- 2You choose which agents may use Workday. Your Chief of Staff or an HR operations agent usually needs it; an agent that drafts marketing copy does not.
- 3Reading your inbox, reports and records needs no approval. Submitting a requisition, an expense report, a time off request or any business process step asks first. Approving other people's requests stays with you.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent work in Workday?
Yes, within the access your Workday account already has. A Monmo agent reads your inbox and reports, drafts requisitions and expense reports, and prepares the steps of a business process for you to submit. It works through the Workday connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something, signed in as you.
Can it approve requests in my Workday inbox?
It prepares each decision and you make it. The AI agent summarises every waiting task with the facts you need, such as the employee's balance for time off or the policy for an expense. If you then tell it what to approve, it shows a card listing each item before it records your decision.
Does our IT team need to set it up?
Often, yes. Workday tenants are usually managed centrally, and an administrator may need to approve the connection or the access it uses. Once that is done, each person connects their own account, and the agent works within that person's security groups.
Can it get Workday reports into Excel or Google Sheets?
Yes. It runs the reports you have access to, exports them and builds the sheet you asked for, with totals checked against the report. It can repeat the same report as a routine, such as every Monday morning, and point out what changed since the last run.
