This map shows what each one sells across the six stages of internal communications, and 173 dated events since May 2025: 138 product launches, 26 of them agents that do multi-step work or run on their own. Each event links to its source. ## What we're seeing Five things the data shows, from 92 companies and 138 AI launches between May 2025 and early November 2026. Every claim links to its source. ### Most AI for internal comms helps a person write, answer and translate Of the 138 AI launches, 26 (19%) are agents or always-on AI. The rest help a person who asks. 30 companies shipped AI writing in the window, 25 shipped AI search and answers, and 11 shipped translation. Intranets lead the count: the 29 intranet and employee experience companies account for 67 of the launches. Simpplr’s [Comms AI](https://www.simpplr.com/newsroom/press-releases/meet-comms-ai) builds a comms plan from a campaign goal or rough notes and adapts drafts to different voices. ContactMonkey’s [ConfidenceCheck](https://www.contactmonkey.com/blog/product_updates/confidencecheck-your-assistant-for-error-free-emails) reviews an internal email for typos, broken links and inconsistent details before it goes out. Its [Audience Preview](https://www.contactmonkey.com/blog/product_updates/audience-preview-ai-persona-feedback-before-you-send) runs a draft past AI personas for chosen employee groups and returns feedback on clarity and tone. Connecteam added [in-chat translation](https://releases.connecteam.com/148955-june-2026-product-releases) for frontline teams in June 2026. ### Intranets now open their content to outside AI assistants 18 companies shipped an MCP server or an agent API in the window, so an employee can ask Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude and get an answer from the intranet. Nearly half of these launches came between August and October 2026. Staffbase made its [MCP Server](https://developers.staffbase.com/changelog/) available in August 2026. Unily launched an [MCP server](https://www.unily.com/about/newsroom/unily-launches-mcp-server) for Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT Enterprise and Gemini in September, and Firstup brought its content to [Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT](https://firstup.io/press-releases/ai-search-copilot-chatgpt-iso-certification/) the same month. Haiilo followed with [Haiilo MCP](https://haiilo.com/blog/haiilo-mcp-trusted-company-knowledge-ai) in October, and Interact announced [Interact MCP](https://www.interactsoftware.com/news/introducing-interact-mcp/). Each of these vendors says answers stay within the signed-in person’s permissions. The same move reached other categories: Hootsuite’s [Parliament MCP](https://www.hootsuite.com/whats-new/parliament-mcp-for-content-admins) lets advocacy admins schedule posts from an AI chat, and Yodeck’s [AI Agent](https://www.yodeck.com/release-notes/yodeck-updates-july-2026/) runs signage campaigns from ChatGPT or Claude. ### Agents arrived in 2026, and a person still approves the work 19 companies have shipped at least one agent or always-on launch, and all but one of their 22 shipped launches are dated 2026. Workshop’s [AI Studio](https://techintelpro.com/AI/Agentic-AI/workshop-launches-ai-studio-agentic-layer-for-internal-comms) runs agents on a schedule that gather source material, draft and notify a person, who approves every draft before it goes out. Interact’s [Conductor](https://www.reworked.co/digital-workplace/interact-launches-cue-and-conductor-to-automate-intranet-work/) drafts, targets and schedules intranet work from a plain-language goal, and a person approves each plan. Unily made its [Indi](https://www.unily.com/about/newsroom/unily-announces-indi) agent generally available in June 2026, and Workvivo unveiled [HQ Agent](https://www.aap.com.au/aapreleases/globenewswire9748455/), which connects to more than 60 enterprise systems and takes action for employees. Always-on AI is rarer. WorkJam’s [autonomous AI](https://www.workjam.com/newsroom/autonomous-ai-frontline-operations-platform/) reprioritizes frontline work around the clock, and a manager can override any decision. Korbyt’s [ScreenDetective](https://www.gokorbyt.com/press-release/korbyt-infocomm-2026-screendetective-launchpad-2/) checks screens for frozen content and can start a fix on its own. ### Frontline apps raised money to bring AI to staff without a desk 41 companies on the map build for frontline staff, and four of the 7 funding rounds we logged went to frontline apps. Flip raised a [$28 million Series A extension](https://www.getflip.com/newsroom/press-releases/flip-secures-28-million-series-a-extension-to-expand-new-ai-powered-capabilities-for-deskless-workers/) in May 2025 and [$25 million](https://www.getflip.com/newsroom/press-releases/flip-raises-25-million-to-bring-ai-to-deskless-workers/) in August 2026. Humand raised a [$66 million Series A](https://siliconangle.com/2026/02/23/humand-secures-66m-scale-ai-powered-operating-system-frontline-workers/) to build an AI operating system for deskless workers, and Blink raised [$17 million](https://pulse2.com/blink-17-million-raised-from-enlightened-hospitality-investments-and-global-partnership-announced-with-shake-shack/) in May 2026. The products answer by role and place. Beekeeper’s [Maia](https://www.silicon.co.uk/press-release/beekeeper-unveils-maia-the-ai-assistant-revolutionizing-the-future-of-frontline-work) translates messages, flags safety risks and gives managers sentiment analysis. Zipline’s [Zippy](https://getzipline.com/blog/ai-capabilities-retail-operations/) answers store staff by their location and role. ### Platforms bought their neighbors We logged 10 acquisitions in the window. LumApps agreed to [combine with Beekeeper](https://www.lumapps.com/insights/news/lumapps-and-beekeeper-to-join-forces-creating-the-leading-employee-experience-platform-for-the-future-of-work) in July 2025, joining an intranet with a frontline app, and agreed to buy [Comeen](https://comeen.com/press-release/lumapps-acquires-comeen), a workplace signage company, in April 2026.

The description, stages, capabilities and events here are this map's. - ADP: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-adp - Dayforce: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-dayforce - Oracle Fusion Cloud HCM: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-oracle-fusion-cloud-hcm - Paylocity: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-paylocity - SAP SuccessFactors: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-sap-successfactors - UKG: The AI hiring software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/hiring-software/#co-ukg - WorkJam: The AI workforce planning software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/workforce-planning-software/#co-workjam - Connecteam: The AI workforce planning software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/workforce-planning-software/#co-connecteam - Legion: The AI workforce planning software map, https://www.newsprint.com/research/workforce-planning-software/#co-legion ## The data - Companies: https://www.newsprint.com/research/internal-communications-software/internal-communications-software.companies.json - Events: https://www.newsprint.com/research/internal-communications-software/internal-communications-software.events.json - Capabilities by company and category: https://www.newsprint.com/research/internal-communications-software/internal-communications-software.features.json ## Methodology and corrections **Who is on the map.** A company earns a row if an internal communications team can license its AI to plan, write, send or measure messages to employees, or to answer employees’ questions. That includes intranets and employee experience platforms, internal email and newsletter tools, frontline employee apps, employee advocacy tools, workplace digital signage, town hall, video and internal podcast tools, and standalone AI comms assistants. HR suites and scheduling apps are on the map only where they sell a distinct comms product, such as an intranet or an employee app, with AI in it; their rows carry the comms product and link to their home row on the [hiring map](/research/hiring-software/). Employee listening surveys, recognition, learning platforms, knowledge bases sold to IT, general chat tools, and signage sold only for retail ads or menus are left off, and so are agencies and consultancies. A name in a roundup is not a tool: every row rests on the vendor’s own site, or on dated trade press where that site would not open for us, and the data marks those rows as reported. The map covers companies we found, not every company that exists. Corrections and additions are welcome. **One category per company.** Each company sits in the category its own headline sells. Many vendors sell an intranet, an app, email and screens on one platform, so the six stage columns and the capability list carry the rest. A company owned by another keeps its own row while it still sells its own product, and names its owner, as Beekeeper does under LumApps and Sociabble does under Poppulo. **What counts as an event.** A product launch, a funding round, an acquisition, a partnership, a rebrand, a shutdown, or published research, dated between the window’s first and last day. Every event links to a page we opened that prints its date, preferably the vendor’s own release, blog or changelog, otherwise the trade press. No date is inferred. A date marks the first time we saw a capability launch in the window, not the first time the company ever offered it. Some launches were announced before they shipped; those carry a status (announced, preview or beta). **How autonomous a launch is.** We label each AI launch from the vendor’s own description of it. Assistive AI drafts, translates or suggests when a person asks. An agent completes multi-step work on its own once a person sets it going, such as building a newsletter or a campaign from a brief. Always-on AI runs without a prompt, such as flagging stale pages or tracking sentiment in comments. Vendors use the word agent loosely; we used it only when the vendor names a step the software completes without a person. Where the page says a company shipped an agent or always-on AI, a launch the vendor has only announced does not count. A launch in beta does. **Who it is built for.** Two flags, set only from the vendor’s own pages: frontline (a mobile app, kiosk or screen for staff without a desk or a company email) and Microsoft 365 (the product runs on SharePoint or inside Teams). **How it was made.** We worked through the market one part at a time from a written spec, and logged each company and each event with the pages it rests on. A second, independent read then checked every event against its source and every company row against the company’s own headline page. It fixed dates and claims that did not hold up, and dropped duplicates, launches with no AI in them, and companies with no AI on their own pages. Where a vendor’s own site would not open, we cite a dated copy of its release in the trade press or on a wire service; news aggregators do not count. Funding figures come only from the company’s own release or a named report. Nothing here is a ranking: the stage cells show what a company sells, not how well it sells it, and a launch count measures how much a company announces.
