The Josh Bersin Company, the world's most trusted independent HR advisory firm, has announced the Galileo™ Mars Release, the latest evolution of its AI-powered HR agent, Galileo.

Galileo Mars elevates HR technology by moving beyond simple query responses to structured, reusable workflows that replicate expert advisory guidance. The release empowers users to solve real-world problems efficiently, whether building individual careers, supporting team performance, or engaging deeply with industry research and benchmarks.
The platform covers three primary workflow categories designed for different user needs. "Help me build my career" supports individual practitioners and direct-to-consumer-style scenarios with personalized development paths. "Help me build my team" equips managers with guided processes for team development, performance management, and organizational support. "Help me engage with the research" delivers conversational, tailored access to Josh Bersin Company insights and external benchmarks.
New capabilities include adaptive guidance based on user expertise levels and pre-designed training paths that blend proprietary Josh Bersin Company content with internal corporate materials for management development, training programs, and AI literacy initiatives. The system generates customized company, team, or individual development plans, effectively bringing the expertise of a Josh Bersin Company analyst directly into daily workflows.
This advancement is enabled through a partnership with Sana, which provides a unified AI interface to orchestrate sophisticated HR processes across Workday and other enterprise systems. Galileo Mars introduces Sana Learning features such as Supertutor for intelligent, interactive learning and Edit Mode to rapidly convert research into personalized, updatable training content.
The Josh Bersin Company will participate in the Workday Agent Partner Network, contributing to a global ecosystem of AI agents connected to the Workday Agent System of Record. Galileo is now accessible via the Workday Marketplace, facilitating easy adoption for Workday customers.
"We have been in constant dialogue with Galileo users to understand their ongoing needs and use-cases for management, leadership, and HR issues," said Amy Farner, EVP of Product and Research at The Josh Bersin Company. "As a result, the new ways to work with Galileo help you get real work done—we've moved from one-shot prompts to intelligent, reusable workflows. In learning, that means L&D teams can blend our research with their own priorities and brand, refine it conversationally, and keep programs current as the business changes. In HR, it means managers get guided, conversational experiences for tasks like development planning and performance management."
"From agents, workflows, apps, learning experiences, and a lot more in the wings, Galileo Mars is all about empowering you to build things," said Josh Bersin, CEO and global industry analyst at The Josh Bersin Company. "The Mars release is a big step in our vision for Galileo. We're giving organizations a way to codify their own methods, workflows and IP into intelligent AI experiences – for HR and learning. Over time, that's how companies will turn their unique know-how into a real competitive advantage in the AI era. We are also very excited to partner with Workday. Through our long-lasting relationship with Sana, Galileo will be seamlessly integrated with Workday for all Workday customers."
Organizations such as Seneca Polytechnic have already deployed Galileo across their HR teams to accelerate transformation initiatives. Caroline Riley, Vice President, Human Resources at Seneca Polytechnic, noted: "Galileo became a new path—providing us an economical way to not just continue our transformation but accelerate it in ways we hadn't originally envisioned."
More than 1,100 companies worldwide rely on Galileo for trusted, powerful HR and career guidance. The Mars release builds on a series of prior milestones, including the introduction of Galileo for Consultants in February 2026, web search capabilities in September 2025, Galileo for Managers in August 2025, Galileo Learn in May 2025, and the Mercury reasoning model in April 2025.
