AI embedded where the work already happens

Every mechanism named. Every agent scoped. The AI layer of the People and Culture Intelligence Platform, built into the HCM and the workflows where recognition, feedback, communications, and comp decisions are made.

Platform Overview

Embedded AI beats bolt-on AI in people and culture

Most enterprise AI lives next to the work. Separate tab, separate login, separate data model. Semos Cloud puts every mechanism where the signal is born and where the action is taken.

A separate tab

Users switch context to get AI help.

A separate login

Shadow SSO. Shadow identity. Shadow audit trail.

A separate data model

AI guesses at behavior the HCM already knows.

Inside the HCM

Runs on SAP BTP, Workday Extend, native Oracle HCM. No shadow data model.

Inside the workflow

Recognition suggestions inside the recognition flow. Feedback inside the feedback flow. Coaching inside the 1:1.

Inside the Knowledge Graph

Every mechanism draws from the same behavior data. Every suggestion is grounded in organizational signal.

One engine powers every mechanism

The AI layer is a single engine feeding many scoped agents. Every agent shares context through the Knowledge Graph. None run in isolation.

01
System of Record
Behavior on top of records

Your system of record knows the structure. It doesn't see the behavioral layer. We connect both.

02
Knowledge Graph
One job, one pillar

Synthesizes signals into one coherent model: teams, relationships, engagement, compensation, retention risk.

03
Agent surfaces
One job, one pillar

Each mechanism pulls from the Graph, drafts the next action, surfaces it inside the HCM, Teams, Outlook, mobile, kiosk, or the Unified App.

04
People act
The loop tightens

Every action generates new data. New data sharpens every agent. Domain signal compounds.

Every mechanism has a name, a pillar, and a scoped job

Enterprise controls under every agent

Every mechanism runs under the same safety and governance model

Auditable

Every agent action leaves a trail. Admins see what the AI proposed and what humans accepted.

Human-in-the-loop

AI drafts. People approve. Recognition suggestions, feedback framings, and coaching prompts surface as drafts — not autopublishes.

Bias detection

Feedback Agent flags bias patterns. MQI scores recognition for quality and inclusivity before it sends.

Data residency & tenant isolation

Customer data stays inside the customer tenant. No cross-customer training. Regional data residency available.

Named, scoped agents

Every mechanism has a defined job, pillar, and audience. No general-purpose copilots.

Everybody is doing data and AI. We differentiate where we have domain expertise.

Filip Misovski
CEO

"Every agent we ship is trained on a signal no generic AI vendor has ever seen. Ten years of recognition behavior across 2 million employees. You can't buy that. You build it."

Domain-scoped

Agents built for people and culture decisions. They stay inside that scope by design.

Framework-grounded

Feedback Agent uses Stanford 4Is. Recognition Agent applies research-backed recognition cadences. Career & Growth references established personality frameworks.

HCM-native

FAQs

  • What is embedded AI in people and culture workflows?

    Embedded AI is AI built into the workflows where people and culture work happens. In Semos Cloud, named mechanisms and scoped agents support recognition, feedback, communications, manager effectiveness, rewards, benefits, and pay equity by using HCM context and behavior signals from the Knowledge Graph.

  • How does embedded AI work in Semos Cloud?

    Semos Cloud connects HCM records and people behavior signals through the Knowledge Graph. Agents draw from that shared context, draft the next action, and can surface inside the HCM, Teams, Outlook, mobile, kiosk, or the Unified App. People review and approve the action.

  • Why should AI agents sit inside the HCM workflow?

    People and culture signals happen inside everyday work: recognition moments, feedback conversations, survey responses, manager meetings, communications, and rewards decisions. Semos Cloud places agents inside those workflows so the AI can read the right context and support action at the right moment.

  • Which agents are included?

    The page can reference agents and mechanisms across recognition, communications, listening, feedback, manager effectiveness, development, rewards, benefits, and pay equity. Examples include Recognition Agent, Feedback Agent, Communications Agent, Survey Generation Agent, Meeting Agent, HRBP Agent, Culture Agent, Career and Growth Agent, Rewards Agent, and Pay Transparency Agent.
