Company defines the Workforce Capital Management category, where employees and AI agents are managed on a single system of record

LAS VEGAS, NV — June 16, 2026 — isolved today unveiled the first autonomous AI agents built to own HR, payroll, and benefits outcomes, and launched general availability of the isolved Connector for Claude. The announcement arrives as AI agents proliferate inside the American workforce without systems of record, governance, or accountability — a workforce problem disguised as a software problem. Together, the two launches mark the first deliveries under Workforce Capital Management (WCM), the new category isolved is defining as businesses begin managing human workers and agentic workers side by side.

AI adoption inside American businesses continues accelerating: McKinsey has found that 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function. New survey data from 451 Research by S&P Global’s Voice of the Enterprise: Workforce Productivity & Collaboration, Employee Life Cycle & HR 2026 report found that 52% of HR respondents want real-time audit trails, 43% want AI governance tools, and 40% want automated monitoring of evolving regulations. Most existing HR AI tools make employees faster at drafting email or summarizing documents. isolved’s agents are designed to do something categorically different: own the outcome, not just accelerate the task.

Six agents, each accountable for an outcome:

The Guardian — monitors every payroll run in real time, flagging potential errors before it closes
The Advisor — guides each employee through benefits enrollment based on individual needs
The Signal — identifies retention risks early and acts before a valued employee resigns
The Orchestrator — runs every onboarding task across connected systems so new hires are ready on day one
The Watchdog — tracks regulatory change across every state a client operates in
The Helper — resolves routine employee HR questions around the clock

The isolved Connector for Claude is available now in Claude’s connectors directory. Employees connect their isolved account once through Claude’s Settings → Connectors menu, then check time-off balances, submit requests, and get HR answers in natural language, using their real isolved data, without a separate portal or login.

“Our clients already have AI agents running in their businesses. Nobody hired them, nobody is managing them, and nobody knows what they’re doing,” said Michael Haske, CEO of isolved. “An AI agent isn’t software you install and forget — it’s much more like an employee. It needs to be onboarded, trained, mentored, and managed. Running a workforce — onboarding to offboarding, on one system of record — is exactly what isolved already does. We’re just extending it to a new kind of worker. That’s not a faster version of HCM. It’s a different category.”

“Businesses have been looking to IT to understand how AI will meaningfully change their workforce, but they’ve been asking the wrong department,” added Stacey Harris, Chief Research Officer and Co-Founder, Sapient Insights Group. “The answer is in HR, where workforce strategy has always sat.”

The first autonomous agents begin entering customer environments later in 2026, with isolved positioning itself as the system of record and governance layer for the entire blended human-and-agentic workforce moving into 2027.
