The Business plan allows up to 10 million characters of training content. - **Guardrails and security controls:** The vendor lists PII redaction, prompt injection protection, role-based access, SSO and MFA, and says it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certification. ## Good for - HR and IT teams that want employee questions handled inside Slack or Teams - Companies that run Workday, ServiceNow, Okta or similar and want agents to act in them - Teams that prefer a flat monthly fee with no per-seat charge ## Worth knowing - The pricing page shows one self-serve plan; usage is capped at 500 AI chat sessions a month, and the agent stops replying until the next period once the limit is reached. - Yearly billing is offered at a 15% saving, but the page shows only the monthly figure, so the yearly price is not stated here. - The page text lists Business and Enterprise only, although the page's metadata mentions a free plan; none is shown to visitors. - Runs in Slack and Teams and on a website; the vendor's pages do not list a mobile or desktop app. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.6 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Workativ builds AI agents that answer HR and IT questions in Slack, Teams or on a website. It starts at $349 a month for 500 chat sessions, two agents and three admins, which is far above what this category charges. Once the sessions run out the agent stops replying. - **Value for money: D.** $349 a month on the one self-serve plan, against a category middle of $24 and a dearest tenth from $150. The page says no per-user fees, but it is a lot for a small team. - **Free plan and trial: F.** No free plan and no trial are listed. The page offers a demo. - **Features: C.** HR and IT agents, workflows, Slack and Teams, knowledge training and guardrails. The Business plan stops at 2 agents, 5 actions and 3 live agents. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You train it on your content, connect apps and set up actions before it answers anything. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Runs in Slack, Teams and on a website, with Workday, ServiceNow, Okta, BambooHR and Freshservice listed. No mobile or desktop app. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Workativ's own pages on 13 November 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 149 of the 178 other AI agents grade higher. It costs $4,188 a year. - You could make: Help desk and employee records: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, SOC 2 and roles and permissions.
