Leena AI unveils 'Studio' for designing enterprise-ready AI Colleagues. Leena AI, the company pioneering agentic AI Colleagues for the enterprise, announced the launch of its AI Colleague Studio, a first-of-its-kind workspace for designing, testing, and deploying enterprise-ready agentic AI Colleagues. With the Studio, enterprises can quickly build autonomous AI Colleagues for back-office use cases. The Studio includes access to Leena AI's catalog of pre-built AI Colleagues, including five brand-new Colleagues announced that are pre-configured for the most common HR, IT, and finance workflows. Customers can choose to customize these ready-made AI Colleagues or design entirely new ones without requiring heavy development cycles. Working in the AI Colleague Studio, companies are now able to go live with AI Colleagues in IT support, HR services, and finance/procurement needs in less than two weeks on average. Enterprises face pressure to demonstrate ROI of AI initiatives. According to a recent MIT study, ninety-five percent of organizations still have not seen any return on their generative AI investments, due to a reliance on generic tools that promote individual productivity over P&L performance. Conversely, the five percent of AI pilots that have been successful have prioritized AI systems that can quickly integrate into existing processes, learn, and improve over time. "The five percent of businesses already succeeding with AI are going to run circles around the ninety-five percent that are still trying to figure it out," said Adit Jain, co-founder and CEO of Leena AI. "We help enterprises leap into agentic AI confidently and quickly, so they can start reaping the benefits today. In fact, most of our customers can deploy AI Colleagues in less than two weeks. And with our Studio, enterprises have more customizability than ever to assemble the exact AI Colleague dream-team to achieve their goals." A Studio for building business value with AI. The AI Colleague Studio provides enterprises with a workspace to build, test, and deploy AI Colleagues that are tailored to their specific business needs. Leena AI offers deep integrations to multiple systems-of-record, including Workday, SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, and more, making it easy to set up complex, cross-application workflows with just a few clicks. Customers can choose to build their AI Colleague from scratch, or start with any of Leena AI's pre-built Colleagues that are configured for the top enterprise back-office use cases. The five AI Colleagues announced include: * IT Operations Coordinator: Leena AI has launched a pre-configured IT Operations Coordinator, which monitors compliance for software licenses, manages the lifecycle of IT assets, and more. * Time Management Specialist: Addressing a key HR use case, the Time Management Specialist handles functions such as attendance reconciliation and weekly overtime sanity checks. * HR Operations Specialist: The HR Operations Specialist is pre-configured for tasks such as employee document compliance tracking and employee dependent information management. * Recruitment Operations Associate: The Recruitment Operations Associate handles day-one document pack collection, along with interview scheduling and confirmation tracking. * Finance Operations Analyst: The Finance Operations Analyst provides an interactive expense report audit, along with streamlined invoice processing and approval. AI Colleagues: the next generation of AI agents. First launched earlier this year, AI Colleagues represent a significant step forward in agentic AI technology. Unlike conventional AI agents that typically execute narrow, single-step tasks with frequent human prompting, AI Colleagues are designed to operate autonomously at scale. They can manage complex, multi-application workflows independently, while also collaborating seamlessly with customers, vendors, and teammates. AI Colleagues are also distinct in how they are presented to the organization. Each AI Colleague is personified with a name, role, preferences, and memory, allowing them to learn, adapt, and function more like team members than tools. This design makes them easier to adopt, fosters trust, and supports natural, conversational interactions. According to Gaurav Sharda, chief technology officer at Beacon Mobility, "We're excited to partner with Leena AI. Their AI Colleague Studio turns complex Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) into natural-language automation, helping us accelerate our agentic AI journey from pilots to production. It's the most practical step we've seen toward enterprise-scale AI." To share your insights, please write to AI Technology Insights.

Leena opens its 'AI Colleague Studio' for enterprise agent customization. Leena AI Inc., the developer of voice-enabled, agentic artificial intelligence assistants for the back office, announced today that it's launching a studio tool that enables businesses to build and tailor their assistants to automate everyday tasks. Leena's AI agents work alongside employees and interact just like another peer, thus their name: AI colleagues. With this update, Leena is releasing AI Colleague Studio. The tool allows enterprise customers to quickly build, test and deploy personalized AI agents that can be customized to the distinct needs of a business. "There's going to be a future where you're going to have AI colleagues reporting to humans and working with other AI colleagues and humans like colleagues," co-founder and Chief Executive Adit Jain told SiliconANGLE in an interview. "It's not going to be where you just throw work over the wall - it's going to be more collaborative." The company is offering this catalog of pre-built AI colleagues, including five brand-new solutions pre-configured for common business roles across human resources, information technology and finance. Customers can tailor these colleagues or design entirely new ones without needing significant development experience. Leena said that with the new solution, companies can go live with fully automated, conversational AI systems that exhibit personality across numerous business roles in less than two weeks on average. Among the newly announced prebuilt solutions, customers will be able to deploy a time management specialist, an HR operations specialist, a recruitment operations associate, an IT operations coordinator and a finance operations analyst. In the platform, AI colleagues are personified in their presentation to the organization. Each one has a name, role, preferences and memory. This allows them to learn, adapt and function more like team members than tools. The objective is to make them easier to adopt and integrate into existing social interactions with human users by supporting natural, genuine feeling conversations. The AI agents can also be given workday routines, such as "waking up" in the morning, executing recurring tasks and reporting progress alongside human peers. Each AI colleague has a human "manager" whom it reports to for oversight. When a process fails or data is ambiguous, the system automatically escalates the issue to that person for clarification or approval. The company's AI colleagues can communicate over text and voice, reaching employees through Slack, Microsoft Teams and other enterprise channels. They're also capable of generating reports, summaries, spreadsheets and other deliverables typically handled by back-office staff. Although Leena isn't the only company to provide AI agents branded as co-workers, Jain said real-world enterprise works cross-application. Humans act as "glue" between different apps and data sources, interpreting policy, finding missing data and coordinating across teams. "Work does not happen in any one application... Humans are the glue between so many different siloed applications," Jain explained. "We don't need humans for that anymore. AI colleagues are more than intelligent to handle the entire stack of this and give them time back to do something more fulfilling." He contrasted Leena's neutral, multiplatform approach with single-vendor ecosystems such as ServiceNow Inc. or SAP SE. Because those platforms lack native integrations, Jain added, customers risk lock-in and limited automation. Leena's independence allows its AI colleagues to work across systems. AI Colleague Studio features numerous deep connections for multiple systems-of-record and data sources, including SAP, ServiceNow, Workday Inc., Salesforce Inc., Oracle Corp. and Automatic Data Processing Inc. Because of the lack of native integrations on those platforms, Jain said, customers face risks of lock-in and limited automation. On the other hand, Leena's independence enables its AI tools to operate across various systems. "I think the best investment a chief information officer can make right now in agent tech has to be independent," Jain said. SiliconANGLE Media, Inc. is that independent organization." Since launching AI colleagues in July, nearly two-thirds of Leena's customers have shifted to the new personalized AI platform. The company anticipates nearly complete migration within six months, except for a few highly regulated clients. Jain said that although Leena is starting with 20 out-of-the-box AI colleague jobs, he projects that in the future, the most laborious tasks will disappear. The company intends to automate as much work for employees as possible. "We want to be in a place where a lot of the repetitive work that the back office does goes away in the next three, four years... across all the 100, 150 odd individual contributor job roles in the back office," Jain said. Guarav Sharda, chief technology officer at transportation company Beacon Mobility, said integrating Leena's AI colleagues provided a practical step towards enterprise-scale AI. "Their AI Colleague Studio turns complex Standard Operating Procedures into natural-language automation - helping us accelerate our agentic AI journey from pilots to production," he added.
