The Rise of AI Coworkers: Transforming People Experiences in the Everyday Flow of Work

Introduction: The Future of Work Has Arrived—And It’s Powered by AI Coworkers

As organizations grapple with disruption, workforce transformation, and the constant need to do more with less, a new frontier has emerged—AI coworkers. These aren’t the distant promise of a sci-fi future, but intelligent, embedded agents working quietly and efficiently alongside human teams—enhancing performance, accelerating development, and delivering personalized, real-time people experiences across the entire employee lifecycle.

At entomo, we call them Workwise.AI-powered digital coworkers—AI agents that are reimagining the way work happens, decisions are made, and employees grow. In this blog, we explore how AI coworkers are driving the next evolution in HR and enterprise productivity—from transactional efficiency to strategic empowerment.

What Are AI Coworkers?

AI coworkers are intelligent digital agents integrated across organizational systems and employee touchpoints. They act not only as assistants but as coaches, analysts, advisors, and collaborators—leveraging the power of Generative AI, Agentic AI, and Augmented Analytics to provide real-time insights, automate routine tasks, and drive meaningful engagement.

Unlike traditional HR tech tools, AI coworkers are embedded into the everyday flow of work—accessible through mobile, chat, and system interfaces—creating a seamless, always-on layer of intelligence and support.

Reimagining the Employee Lifecycle – From Hire to Retire

AI coworkers revolutionize every phase of the Hire-to-Retire journey, delivering transformation at three levels:

1. Transactional Automation

• Automated onboarding and offboarding

• Intelligent attendance, leave, and timesheet management

• Biometric-based workforce tracking

• Payroll and benefits administration

• Compliance and statutory reporting

2. Strategic Enablement

• Goal setting and alignment through smart goal libraries

• 360° performance feedback and continuous check-ins

• Contextualized learning and skill development

• Personalized career journeys, succession planning, and mentoring

• Wellness and engagement insights with personalized nudges

3. Intelligence Layer

Why Enterprises Are Embracing AI Coworkers

Enterprises are rapidly adopting AI coworkers to enhance efficiency and employee experience. According to HireBee, 45% of organizations already use AI in HR, and this is expected to rise to 80% by 2025 (source). AI reduces administrative workload—automating tasks like onboarding can cut time-to-productivity by 50% (Deel). Companies also report a 30% reduction in time-to-hire and 50% fewer compliance errors, saving costs and improving accuracy (Superworks). These gains are making AI coworkers a strategic necessity, not a luxury.

The Intelligence Layer – From Data to Insight to Action

At the heart of this transformation is entomo’s Intelligence Engine, an integrated analytics hub that:

• Translates data into real-time, role-based insights

• Augments analytics with behavioral and performance metrics

• Predicts outcomes and prescribes actions through Generative AI

• Enables intelligent nudging to change behaviors and close gaps

This empowers managers to lead with clarity and confidence, while employees get “micro-moments of intelligence” that guide them every day.

Real Use Cases of AI Coworkers
