Paycom’s IWant, launched on July 30, 2025, redefines human capital management by enabling users to access employee data through simple voice or text commands. Unlike traditional systems requiring navigation, IWant delivers immediate, accurate responses by pulling data from Paycom’s single database, eliminating errors from duplicate or inconsistent data. “IWant is the biggest release since our founding in 1998,” said Chad Richison, Paycom founder and CEO. “Command-driven automation marks the beginning of the future of all software.” The AI engine is accessible via Employee Self-Service and Manager on-the-Go in the Paycom app, as well as desktop client login, making it user-friendly for all roles.
For employees, IWant provides quick answers on personal data such as time-off balances, 401(k) contributions, schedules, tax withholdings, paycheck details, and benefits. HR teams, managers, and C-suite leaders benefit from instant access to workforce insights, including coverage thresholds, time-off schedules, overdue trainings, pay changes, and performance reviews. “Paycom’s single database has strategically set them apart since day one, paving the way for continued breakthroughs like IWant,” said Steve Boese, HR Technology Conference program co-chair. The Executive Mode enhances leadership decision-making by simplifying data access, fostering a data-driven culture.
IWant’s design ensures accessibility for users regardless of their software expertise. An executive in the distribution industry who tested IWant during its pilot phase noted, “It’s a night and day difference. IWant makes everyone a system expert, so I can access all the info I need without navigating beyond the home screen. And I don’t rely on others for employee data anymore. It’s a total game changer.” By streamlining data retrieval, IWant reduces the time employees spend searching for information—up to two hours daily, according to industry studies—enhancing productivity and reducing HR’s administrative burden.
Paycom’s IWant sets a new standard for HR technology with its command-driven AI, offering a seamless, accurate, and efficient way to access employee data. By eliminating navigation barriers and leveraging a single database, IWant empowers organizations to make faster, smarter decisions, positioning Paycom as a leader in AI-driven HCM innovation.
