Coworker vs Sana

Why teams choose Coworker over Sana

Both Coworker and Sana connect to your tools and offer meeting intelligence plus AI agents.

Why Coworker

What makes Coworker different

Autonomous agents vs. triggered workflows

Coworker

Fully autonomous 24/7 cloud agents that execute without a prompt. After a meeting, Coworker drafts the CRM update, tickets, and follow-ups whether or not you are at your desk, and you approve them in one click.

Sana

Sana's reusable multi-step workflows can run manually, on a schedule, before or after meetings, or when an email arrives, with results sent by email. Workday's March 2026 launch of Sana from Workday added a Self-Service Agent with 300+ HR and Finance skills.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Both platforms connect to your tools, record meetings, and offer AI agents. The key difference is autonomy: Coworker runs 24/7 cloud agents that start on their own after every meeting, without a single prompt, and draft your CRM updates, tickets, and follow-ups for one-click approval. Sana offers excellent knowledge retrieval and no-code workflows that run on demand or on a schedule. Sana is search-and-workflow-first. Coworker is execution-first.

Yes. Sana has a no-code agent builder with multi-step workflows, branching logic, and connections to 100+ apps. Sana agents can act in connected tools, and workflows can run on a schedule, before or after meetings, or when an email arrives. Workday's March 2026 launch of Sana from Workday added a Self-Service Agent with 300+ skills for HR and Finance tasks. The key distinction is depth of context: Coworker agents work from OM2, a pre-built memory of your accounts, people, and decisions across 50+ tools.

Workday completed the acquisition of Sana in November 2025. Sana now operates as part of Workday and offers deep Workday HCM and Finance integrations. This is a real strength for teams already on Workday. It also means Sana's roadmap is increasingly tied to the Workday ecosystem, while Coworker remains an independent cross-platform AI layer built for sales, CS, product, and support teams across any stack.

Coworker onboards with a dedicated team, agents start working as soon as your tools are connected, with no professional services engagement required to get value. The onboarding team supports enterprise rollout where you need it. Sana's enterprise rollout is partnership-led, with a dedicated deployment lead, tailored onboarding, and a change management model.

Yes. Coworker is SOC 2 Type II certified, GDPR compliant, and CASA Tier 2 verified. All data respects existing permission models, is encrypted at rest and in transit, and is never used to train AI models. Enterprise customers get SSO, RBAC, and a dedicated security review. Sana additionally holds ISO 27001 certification, which may matter for specific EU or regulated-industry requirements.
