AI-native people platform.
WorkiQ is an AI-native people platform. APIs for employee data, AI for the review cycles and policy answers, embeddable widgets for the rest of your stack.
What is WorkiQ
An HR system your engineers will actually use.
Most HR platforms are dashboards stapled to a database. WorkiQ inverts that — clean APIs underneath, AI doing the busywork on top, embeddable widgets so the experience lives in the tools your team already opens.
API-first, not dashboard-first
Employee data lives behind a clean REST + GraphQL API. UIs are embeddable widgets, not the only way in.
AI does the busywork
Drafts review narratives, answers policy questions, flags time anomalies. HR managers approve, not author.
Lives in your tools
Time-off in Slack. Org chart in Notion. Review form in your internal portal. WorkiQ ships the widget — your team's tools host it.
Built for compliance
SOC 2-aligned controls, GDPR-aware data residency, full audit log on every employee record change.
In the editor
Directory, AI reviews, policy bot — one platform.
Employee directory with cycle status, AI-drafted review narratives with bias hints, and the policy bot answering employees in Slack — all rendered from the same API layer.
Modules
What ships in WorkiQ
Six modules. Each one ships as an API + an embeddable widget, so the experience can live wherever your team already works.
Employee data API
REST and GraphQL access to people, teams, roles, comp, documents. Webhook events on every change. SCIM-compatible for SSO directories.
AI-assisted reviews
Drafts review narratives from 1:1 notes, peer feedback, and goal data. Managers edit in 15 minutes instead of 90. Bias hints flagged inline.
Policy answers in chat
Employees ask 'how many sick days do I have' or 'what's the parental leave policy in Germany' — AI answers from your handbook with citations.
Time + attendance
Configurable schedules, geofenced clock-in for retail and field teams, anomaly detection on missed punches and overtime spikes.
Embeddable widgets
Drop the time-off widget into Slack, the org chart into Notion, the review form into your internal portal. Auth handled, data scoped.
Roles, approvals, audit
Granular permissions, approval chains, full audit log. SOC 2-aligned controls, GDPR-aware data residency, encryption at rest.
Integrations
Plays well with your stack
