• Agent Studio unifies the building, deployment and governance of enterprise-ready Genies – Workato’ s AI agents.
• Workato GO combines enterprise search, enterprise context and Genies, enabling Deep Action through natural language.
• Intelligent Document Processing automates extraction and understanding from semi-structured and unstructured documents.
• AI by Workato embeds generative AI directly into recipes for smarter decisions and content creation.
“ For Australian and New Zealand enterprises embracing AI, data residency and regulatory compliance remain critical,” said John Deeb, VP Customer Success and Field CTO, APAC.“ Hosting and processing all AI models within Australia gives customers enterprisegrade agentic AI without compromise – full capability, full control, complete compliance.”
