Whatever you need to know is already in Teamwork.com: resourcing, budgets, task status, all of it live. The only question is how many clicks stand between you and it. Ask AI removes them: ask what you'd ask a colleague, typed or said out loud, and get the answer straight from your own data.

With AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT becoming more deeply integrated into knowledge work I wanted to run a like-for-like comparison in a competency close to my heart: data analysis.

Tamar Yehoshua is Chief Product and AI Officer at Atlassian, where AI agents are now direct users of the software her team builds.

I’m TJ Power, a neuroscientist, no.1 bestselling author of The DOSE Effect, and the founder of DOSE Lab. Over the last 12 months, my team and I have been laser focused on a new question: how can we help society build successful brains that are ready for the AI future? Recently, with Asana, I hosted a series of dinners in Sydney and Melbourne for C-suite executives.

“How much PTO do I have left?” “Where can I find my latest payslip?” “Am I eligible for this benefit?” These are simple employee questions, but resolving them can mean checking the HRIS, searching policies, retrieving live data, chasing approvals, and updating records. At scale, that administrative work adds up.

HR teams have no shortage of AI tools in 2026. The harder question is which ones can actually help employees get HR work done. Many platforms can summarize a policy, answer a benefits question, or generate an HR response. Fewer can understand an employee's request, retrieve the right information, connect to live HR systems, take an approved action, route an approval, and involve HR when human judgment is required. That distinction matters when evaluating the best AI agents for HR.

Over the past year, many companies have moved from simply experimenting with AI to integrating it into their core business operations. From customer service and analytics to communication and workflow automation, AI is becoming an integral part of how modern organizations operate. Even companies in highly competitive digital markets, such as eSIM Plus, are increasingly looking for ways to use AI to make their products, services, and customer experiences more efficient.

Employees rarely think about which HR system contains the answer to their question. They simply ask: “Why is my paycheck lower this month?” “How much PTO do I have?” “Where can I download my payslip?” “Can I take Friday off?” “What benefits am I enrolled in?” For an HR team using ADP, much of the information needed to answer those questions may already exist in payroll, time, benefits, or employee records.
