Compared with AI chat
ChatGPT tells you the clicks. kiweely makes them.
The same strong AI models underneath. The difference is what they can reach in Workday, and who checks the work.
Put kiweely beside

| Extend apps and orchestrations | Partly, or only what you set up: Writes files for you to paste | Partly, or only what you set up: Writes files; checking and deploying are yours to wire up | Does it: Designs, builds, deploys and promotes through Sandbox; Workday checks every version.

Workday Extend
The whole Extend job. You approve.
Describe the app. kiweely builds it, has Workday check every version, deploys it once you approve and tests it as each person.
How far it takes your app.
Development
It deploys each version once you approve it.
DeployedImplementation
It promotes the version, naming every model change first.
PromotedSandbox
It promotes it again, and can test it there as the people who will use it.
PromotedProduction
For safety, kiweely never promotes an app to Production.
You move it there yourself, in Workday’s Developer Site.
An app’s first install in a tenant stays yours too. A model change past Development always waits for you, even with Full Access on.Watch it build, on film
Orchestrations get the same loop.
Moving data between Workday and another system: it builds the orchestration, runs it, and when a run fails, reads Workday’s own run history and logs, fixes the cause and runs it again.

- On the leftClients and their work
Each client keeps its conversations, projects and documents together.

- Beside SendYour AI, your choice of model
Pick the AI that does the work, conversation by conversation.

Security
Your client’s Workday stays in your hands.
It works from your computer with your own sign-in, so Workday’s security decides what it can see and change.

Questions
The ones people ask.
Is it safe to use on a client’s Workday tenant?
Your Workday sign-ins stay on your computer and never reach kiweely. Every change names the tenant, and nothing is saved until you approve it.
Does it work on my own tenant?
Yes, free, in the tenant of your Workday personal developer account. A company’s or a client’s tenant needs a Personal licence, $99 a month, or a seat in your firm.
