Instant Workforce Insights – Answers HR questions conversationally with actionable visualizations and presentation-ready reports in seconds.
Real-Time Workforce Trends – Draws on ADP’s workforce data (spanning 1.1M+ companies in 140+ countries) to reveal hidden trends and guide decision-making.

Personalized Learning & Development – Delivers tailored training suggestions based on employees’ roles, skills, and career goals.
"Every AI feature we build starts with a specific HR problem our clients face daily," said Sreeni Kutam, President of Global Product and Innovation at ADP.
"The technology is not the starting point – we start by listening intently to our clients and finding those moments of friction, ultimately deploying technology that makes those moments easier and gives time back to work that truly matters."
ADP emphasizes practical innovation, with each AI feature undergoing extensive client testing before release. Compliance, transparency, and security are embedded from the start to ensure responsible AI deployment.
"What is notable about ADP's approach is the commitment to solving real HR challenges rather than simply following trends," said Pete A. Tiliakos, Principal Analyst at Payroll Influences. "These capabilities highlight how AI can be applied in practical ways to deliver measurable value."
