Cornerstone OnDemand Inc., a leader in workforce agility solutions, has unveiled the next evolution of its Cornerstone Galaxy platform at the 2025 HR Technology Conference. This advancement integrates multi-role AI agents, AI-native conversational and immersive learning experiences, and dynamic skills intelligence to empower organizations in developing people and digital agents, aligning workforce skills at scale to drive productivity, revenue growth, and efficiency.
The Cornerstone Galaxy platform now includes a system of learner, admin, and content AI agents trained on unique workforce data. These agents automate tasks, personalize learning, and provide integrated insights within the flow of work. This approach shifts AI adoption from technology projects to capability enhancements, ensuring alignment with business needs. Administrators benefit from automated workflows for assignment management, compliance monitoring, and content setup, allowing focus on higher-value activities.
Key innovations feature an AI-native interface for dynamic, multimodal content creation and personalized recommendations based on enterprise knowledge and learner context. Generative and immersive content transforms traditional formats like SCORM into interactive experiences, making legacy content searchable and engaging in real time. With Cornerstone Immerse, organizations can deliver VR, voice, and video avatar experiences that meet modern learner expectations, extending training across modalities like video and podcasts.
The platform offers upskilling for AI fluency from beginner to mastery levels, with curated content, AI-driven personalization, and virtual human coaching. A recent partnership with Simplilearn introduces additional courses and certificates in Q4 2025, covering machine learning, generative AI, prompt engineering, and agentic workflows. Cornerstone Galaxy AI enhancements include AgentReady for compliant, certified AI agents that scale to business-critical use cases. Support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) embeds context-aware learning agents into platforms like Microsoft and Salesforce.
The AI Skills Engine, powered by SkyHive's Knowledge Graph, scans terabytes of labor market data daily to inform workforce planning, targeted learning, and career paths. Workforce Intelligence identifies capability gaps relative to the market, providing context for strategic success measurement.
Himanshu Palsule, Chief Executive Officer at Cornerstone, stated: “Every customer I have spoken with over the last year has the same concern, how do they unlock the value of AI and get their workforce ready for the changes that it will bring. AI adoption fails when it's being treated as a bolt on, this expansion of our Cornerstone Galaxy platform helps align AI adoption with strategic business goals, by offering the personalization individuals need with multi-role AI agents, uncovering real-time skills intelligence, and create meaningful AI-powered experiences in the flow of work.”
Ben Eubanks, Chief Research Officer at Lighthouse Research, noted: “IT and legal teams today are worried about employee usage of AI tools, often citing concerns around data security and privacy. Cornerstone has built AI capabilities to enable personalized learning experiences that meet strict enterprise standards for those two concerns; however, from a user perspective, Cornerstone's solutions offer a rich learner experience that is personalized and powered by the company's own data. It's a powerful, low-risk way to weave AI into learning for employers across the globe.”
