The release brings to market three connected innovations: 24 production AI agents across employee experience, social recognition, manager and talent development, and total rewards; Semos IQ, a new AI-native engagement layer surfacing 50+ behavioral signals and interoperable with SAP Joule and other enterprise copilots; and a new generation of autonomous HR programs that translate customer intent into running programs grounded in real data, shipping through 2026.
"Enterprise customers want AI agents that run on the same platform as their people data and live in the same governance model as the rest of their SAP estate," said Filip Misovski, Chief Executive Officer, Semos Cloud. "Building natively on the SAP Business AI Platform was the only way to make that real. With Semos IQ, autonomous programs, and 150+ customers already relying on our solutions today, we are delivering an AI-native release that closes the white spaces SAP customers have been asking us to fill."
The First AI-Native ISV on the SAP Business AI Platform
The 24 agents cover four operational categories aligned to where People and Culture work happen every day.
- Social Recognition & Rewards. Recognition, rewards, and celebrations native to the HCM, with AI raising message quality at the moment of recognition. Recognition, Nomination, Voting, Celebration, Redemption, and Earn Points agents, plus the Message Quality Indicator.
- EX, Listening & Communications. Broadcast reach including deskless workers, lifecycle and pulse surveys, sentiment analysis, and EX intelligence that turns responses into coaching moments. Communications, Survey Generation, Survey Analysis, Conversational Listening, and Employee Engagement agents.
- Manager Effectiveness & Development. Manager-facing agents that augment leaders with real-time work signals, contextual coaching, and team development insights. Meeting (with Signals Engine), Feedback, Company, Culture, HRBP, Coaching, Career & Growth, and Skills agents.
- Total Rewards, Benefits & Pay Equity. Total rewards planning, benefits coordination, peer benchmarking at the moment of decision, and continuous pay transparency compliance ahead of the EU directive in June 2026. Rewards and Benefits agents, Pay Transparency, What-If Simulator, AI-Assisted Remediation, and compensation intelligence.
Semos agents are designed to run on the SAP Business AI Platform, using SAP BTP and AI services, Joule interoperability, and a governed data foundation powered by BDC, HANA Cloud and Knowledge Graph capabilities.
Instead of operating as disconnected AI features, every agent works from shared enterprise context across recognition, rewards, communications, listening, teams, and HR data. This allows Semos agents to understand relationships, recommend the right actions, and execute with governance, security, and auditability built in.
For SAP customers, this means AI agents that are enterprise-ready from day one: connected, secure, auditable, and aligned with the systems they already trust.

Semos IQ, new engagement layer, early access at Sapphire.
Semos IQ is a new engagement layer and app that combines a native AI experience with the full Semos suite, consumable on any device. The underlying products and data model carry over. Semos IQ surfaces 50+ behavioral signals from the People and Culture Intelligence suite directly in the user's flow of work, including recognition gaps across teams, meeting sentiment shifts captured by the Meeting Agent, and communications engagement decline against an employee's personal baseline. From these signals, Semos agents do the work with the human always in the loop. Semos IQ is interoperable by design and works alongside SAP Joule, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, and other enterprise copilots.

Autonomous HR programs, introduced at Sapphire, shipping through 2026. A new capability that takes work away from HR administrators while providing proactive suggestions, best practices, and continuous program improvements. The customer describes the intent. The platform translates it into a running program grounded in actual data and configurations. Agents execute the program, monitor outcomes, and adapt as it runs. Three programs being introduced and shipping through 2026: an Autonomous Recognition Program for Frontline Workers (shift-aware, multilingual, team-lead facilitated); an Autonomous Onboarding Communications Program (cohort-pattern based, with escalation when integration health drops); and an Autonomous Engagement Campaign Program (turning listening signals into coaching journeys and intelligent nudges).
The enablement layer underneath, SAP HANA Knowledge Graph, in joint development with SAP teams, makes relationships between customer data, configurations, and behavioral signals explicit, governed, and reusable. It is what allows Semos IQ to surface meaningful signals and autonomous programs to translate intent into running programs. MCP Servers and A2A open access and integration with SAP Joule, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Claude, and third-party agents in the customer's enterprise stack.
