Workato’s Agentic Apps represent a transformative approach to enterprise automation, offering AI-driven solutions that streamline operations across departments like IT, HR, and Sales. By integrating seamlessly with platforms such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, these apps empower teams to resolve issues faster, reduce manual workloads, and focus on strategic growth. Let’s explore how these “genies” are reshaping business efficiency.

Introducing Workato’s Agentic Apps

Workato’s Agentic Orchestration platform leverages pre-built and customizable AI agents (dubbed “Genies”) to automate complex workflows. These tools act as intelligent assistants, handling tasks ranging from employee support to system provisioning, all while operating within familiar interfaces like Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Key Features Driving Impact

  • Instant Resolution: ITGenie, for example, auto-resolves 75% of queries without human intervention, slashing ticket backlogs.
  • Cross-Platform Integration: Operates natively in collaboration tools, reducing context-switching for employees.
  • Human-AI Handoff: Smoothly escalates complex cases to human agents with full context, cutting mean time-to-resolution (MTTR) by 190%.
  • Customization: Adaptable to specific organizational needs, whether automating HR onboarding or sales data synchronization.

So, what does enterprise-wide automation look like in practice?

The table below illustrates how Workato’s Agentic Apps deploy specialized AI “Genies” to tackle department-specific challenges while delivering measurable results. Each use case highlights the intersection of speed, scalability, and human-AI collaboration.
