> 68 companies sell AI to HR, finance and operations teams that plan headcount, hiring and capacity. This map shows what each one sells across the five stages of workforce planning, and 140 dated events since May 2025: 98 product launches, 25 of them agents that do multi-step work or run on their own. Each event links to its source.

## What we're seeing

Six things the data shows, from 68 companies and 98 AI launches between May 2025 and early November 2026. Every claim links to its source.

### The headcount plan lives in finance's planning tool

The 13 business planning platforms shipped 25 AI launches, more than any other category on the map. Some of their agents now build the planning model itself. Pigment's [Modeler Agent](https://www.pigment.com/newsroom/modeler-agent-launch) builds a model from a plain-language description of the outcome. Abacum's [Modeler](https://www.abacum.ai/newsroom/building-on-abacum-intelligence-abacum-launches-modeler-and-brings-agentic-modeling-to-every-finance-team) turns a prompt or a spreadsheet into a live model, and a headcount plan is one of its examples. A person reviews the proposed model and approves it. Other AI explains the plan. Anaplan's [Workforce Analyst](https://www.marketscreener.com/news/anaplan-introduces-role-based-ai-agents-to-advance-enterprise-scenario-planning-and-analysis-platfor-ce7d51d3df8cf622) identifies workforce risks and the impact of headcount decisions.

Investors are paying for the category. Pigment raised a [$250 million Series E](https://www.pymnts.com/?p=4328721) at a $2.3 billion valuation in October 2026. Hg completed its [$6.4 billion purchase](https://www.onestream.com/news/onestream-announces-completion-of-acquisition-by-hg-for-usd6-4-billion/) of OneStream in April 2026. The same platforms plan more than headcount. Anaplan and Pigment are also on the [AI compensation software map](/research/compensation-software/), and Board joins them on the [AI supply chain planning software map](/research/supply-chain-planning-software/).

The HR suites are moving toward the same plan from the other side. Workday's [Decision Intelligence](https://newsroom.workday.com/2026-10-13-Workday-Brings-Decision-Intelligence-to-HR-and-Finance,-Helping-Teams-Weigh-Workforce-and-Financial-Decisions-Together) lets HR teams test whether a plan for 50 new hires is still needed. Dayforce says buying Agentnoon sped up the release of its [Strategic Workforce Planning](https://www.dayforce.com/who-we-are/newsroom/dayforce-launches-strategic-workforce-planning).

### Project staffing is where the agents are

Of the 98 AI launches, 25 (26%) are agents or always-on AI, and 14 companies have shipped at least one. A third of those launches come from the 15 companies that staff projects for services firms and builders. Kantata's [Resourcing Agent](https://www.kantata.com/blog/article/kantata-expands-agentic-ai-capabilities-with-new-resourcing-agent-supercharging-professional-services-delivery) finds overbooked people and can recommend or run fixes, such as shifting hours. A person sets its rules and reviews the flagged risks and changes. Certinia added [14 agents](https://www.certinia.com/blog/certinia-unveils-system-of-action-for-services-and-largest-expansion-of-veda-ai-to-date/) to Veda in September 2026. The same release lists resume-to-skills parsing and ranked resource recommendations, and a person reviews the agents' output. Bridgit, which sells to construction contractors, launched [five agents](https://www.constructiondive.com/press-release/20260729-bridgit-launches-the-first-ai-agents-built-for-workforce-planning-1/) that build teams and find assignments. A person reviews, adjusts and confirms what they recommend.

### Shift scheduling AI drafts the roster and a manager approves it

Of the companies on the map, 19 are built for hourly or frontline teams, and most of their AI suggests rather than acts. Humanforce's [Smart Scheduling](https://itbrief.com.au/story/humanforce-launches-ai-rostering-tool-for-frontline-staff) forecasts staffing from sales, weather and bookings, fills the shifts and checks award rules. Managers review and approve the roster, and each employer chooses how much to automate. Planday's [Intelligent Shift Assignment](https://help.planday.com/en/articles/621960-product-updates-winter-and-spring-2026) ranks the best matches for each shift and flags compliance issues. Both are in beta. WorkJam is the only one of these companies that has shipped always-on AI. Its [autonomous AI](https://www.workjam.com/newsroom/autonomous-ai-frontline-operations-platform/) assigns tasks to people on shift through the day, and managers can override any decision.

### Learning companies and suites bought the skills data

Independent skills vendors are being bought. SAP agreed to buy [TechWolf](https://news.sap.com/2026/10/sap-to-acquire-techwolf-evidence-based-work-age-of-ai/) to power skills mapping and workforce planning in SuccessFactors. Docebo bought [365Talents](https://trainingindustry.com/press-release/learning-technologies/docebo-acquires-365talents/) for about $54.6 million. Pearson agreed to buy [Workera](https://trainingindustry.com/press-release/measurement-and-analytics/pearson-acquires-workera-a-pioneer-in-ai-native-enterprise-assessment-and-skills-verification/), and the parent of the University of Phoenix agreed to buy [Fuel50](https://fuel50.com/press/phoenix-education-partners-to-acquire-fuel50-advancing-the-future-of-workforce-transformation). Lightcast, the labor market data company, bought [Rhetorik](https://lightcast.io/resources/blog/lightcast-acquires-rhetorik-to-expand-global-people-company-and-labor-market-inte), [Skill Collective](https://lightcast.io/resources/blog/lightcast-acquires-skill-collective-to-advance-skill-based-transformation-for-glo) and [Simply](https://lightcast.io/resources/blog/lightcast-acquires-simply) in 2025. Rhetorik brought more than 800 million professional profiles.

### Plans now break jobs into tasks, and two vendors plan to count agents as capacity

Several vendors now plan at the level of the task. Reejig's [Work Architecture](https://hrtechedge.com/news/reejig-launches-dynamic-work-architecture-to-power-ai-driven-workforce-transformation) breaks jobs into tasks and flags the ones AI can automate or augment. Fuel50's [Task Intelligence](https://fuel50.com/press/fuel50-launches-task-intelligence-to-drive-responsible-work-redesign-in-the-age-of-ai) grades each task from automated to strategically human. TechWolf's [job architecture agent](https://techwolf.ai/resources/blog/introducing-the-techwolf-agent-with-a-first-focus-to-transform-how-enterprises-create-and-maintain-their-job-architecture) reached general availability in July 2026, and it finds where work can be automated or augmented.

Two vendors have announced tools that plan AI agents alongside people. Planview announced [agent resource management](https://martechseries.com/predictive-ai/ai-platforms-machine-learning/planview-launches-agent-resource-management-redefining-portfolio-resource-management-for-the-ai-era/) in May 2026. It adds agents and their cost, including compute and token spend, to the resource model. The release says it is available from fall 2026 with early access. Dayforce unveiled [scenario modeling](https://www.dayforce.com/who-we-are/newsroom/dayforce-unveils-the-agentic-hcm-platform) in October 2026 that covers skills, capacity, structure and cost across people and AI agents. The map lists both launches as announced.

### Workforce data is opening to outside AI assistants

In the window, 21 companies shipped an MCP server, an agent API or an app inside ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot. Visier [opened its people data](https://www.visier.com/company/news/visier-launches-mcp-for-ai-agents/) to outside agents in November 2025, checked against each customer's permissions. Cube's [financial model](https://www.cubesoftware.com/blog/press/cube-claude-mcp-server) and TalentGuard's [role profiles](https://www.talentguard.com/press-releases/talentguard-brings-workforcegpt-workforce-intelligence-to-claude-and-other-ai-agents-through-mcp) are in Claude's connector directory. Planday lets managers [draft shifts and reassign staff](https://itbrief.co.uk/story/planday-brings-rota-management-to-chatgpt-claude) from ChatGPT or Claude, with the user's confirmation, in early access. Planful's [server](https://planful.com/blog/planful-mcp-server/) is read-only, and it lists workforce data as still on the way.

The description, stages, capabilities and events here are this map's. iMocha, Gloat and Fuel50 are the exceptions: the AI hiring software map lists them under sourcing and talent intelligence, and this map lists them under skills intelligence and internal mobility, which is what they sell.

## Methodology and corrections

**Who is on the map.** A company earns a row if an employer can buy its AI to plan how many people it needs, when, where and with which skills: headcount and hiring plans, labor demand forecasts, org design, skills and internal moves, shift schedules, and project staffing. Recruiting itself is on the [AI hiring software map](/research/hiring-software/), and pay is on the [AI compensation software map](/research/compensation-software/). Consultancies without software a customer can license are left off. 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, one row across maps.** Each company sits in the category its own headline sells. Suites sell far more than one thing, so the five stage columns and the capability list carry the rest. A company that is already on another Newsprint map keeps that map’s row: its name, site, scale and funding come from there, and the row links to it (“Also on”). The HR suites, the HR analytics companies, and iMocha, Gloat and Fuel50 come from the hiring map. The suites and the analytics companies also keep the hiring map’s category. iMocha, Gloat and Fuel50 do not. The hiring map lists them under sourcing and talent intelligence. This map lists them under skills intelligence and internal mobility, because that is what they sell for planning. What each row says it sells, its stages, its capabilities and its events are this map’s own. This map is the home row for the business planning platforms that the compensation and supply chain planning maps also list.

**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, ranks 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 planning model from a description or rebalancing project assignments. Always-on AI runs without a prompt, such as watching a plan for risks or reassigning tasks through a shift. 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 or preview does.

**Who it is built for.** Two flags, each set only from the vendor’s own pages: hourly (built for shift-based or frontline teams) and projects (built to staff client or internal projects, such as services firms and construction).

**How it was made.** Research agents worked one segment each from a written spec and returned structured rows. An editor merged them. A second pass re-opened the source of every event and the headline page of every company, fixed dates and claims that did not hold up, and dropped duplicates, launches with no AI in them, and companies that have shut down or been absorbed. 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.
