In this episode of Spilling the Tea on HR Tech, Stacey Harris and Cliff Stevenson discuss Perceptyx's acquisition of Lyceum AI; the general availability of Insperity HRScale; and the just-announced Sana from Workday. The wide-ranging conversation also gets into Canva’s new Magic Layers for managing the design and content of legacy learning; Grammarly’s controversial Expert Review; people news at Employ, UKG, and Adobe; ICIM’s rebranding and Coalesce AI;  and filtered's SCORM Intelligence.  The duo also calls out a potential pricing disrupter brought about by AI agents. Pricing models built around AI usage and API access are starting to hit real cost barriers for larger organizations Key points covered include: ↪️ With the promise of bringing “superintelligence to work,” Workday has launched Sana for Workday, which includes: Sana for Workday, a new AI interface for Workday; Sana Self-Service Agent, which automates HR and finance workflows; and Sana Enterprise, designed to automate work across the enterprise systems and applications employees use everyday. ↪️ Insperity HRScale, created from Insperity’s partnership with Workday, is now generally available, giving small businesses access to enterprise-grade HR technology while creating a potential pipeline for Workday as those companies grow. ↪️ With the recent acquisition of Lyceum AI, Perceptyx seeks to translate employee signals into personalized capability and skills building in the flow of work. Or, as stated in the news release, to close the gap between employee insights into actual business impact.   ↪️ Grammarly disabled its Expert Review AI agent after backlash over its use of named writers' voices; the controversy, which has spawned a class action lawsuit, raises broader questions about the boundary between AI-assisted writing and unauthorized use of an individual's identity and creative IP. ↪️ Research facts about use of benefit brokers: Sapient’s 2025-2026 data shows that 65% of companies with under 2,500 employees say their brokers have significant influence on how they run HR.  A corollary: organizations using brokers or other third-party HR support are 90% more likely to be viewed as contributing strategic value to their companies.
