Compared with AI chat
ChatGPT tells you the clicks. kiweely makes them.
The same strong AI models underneath. The difference is what they can reach in Workday, and who checks the work.

| Extend apps and orchestrations | Partly, or only what you set up: Writes files for you to paste | Partly, or only what you set up: Writes files; checking and deploying are yours to wire up | Does it: Designs, builds, deploys and promotes through Sandbox; Workday checks every version. The first install in a tenant and Production stay yours |
| Workday Studio integrations | Partly, or only what you set up: Writes XSLT for you to paste | Partly, or only what you set up: Edits the files; building, testing and deploying in Studio stay yours | Does it: Builds, tests, deploys, runs and debugs through your own Workday Studio, and asks before each deploy and run |
| Tests as real people | Can’t: No | Can’t: No | Does it: Yes, with Start Proxy in a browser you can watch, and fixes what fails |
| Design documents, test scripts, decks | Partly, or only what you set up: Drafts you copy out | Partly, or only what you set up: The files you ask for | Does it: Written from the real tenant and filed in the project |

Workday Extend and Orchestration for Integration
The whole Extend job. You approve.
Describe the app and attach the policy. kiweely designs the model, pages and business process, has Workday check every version, deploys it once you approve, tests it as each person and promotes it.
How far it takes your app.
Development
It deploys each version once you approve it.
DeployedImplementation
It promotes the version, naming every model change first.
PromotedSandbox
It promotes it again, and can test it there as the people who will use it.
PromotedProduction
For safety, kiweely never promotes an app to Production.
You move it there yourself, in Workday’s Developer Site.
An app’s first install in a tenant stays yours too. A model change past Development always waits for you, even with Full Access on.The Extend page
Orchestrations get the same loop.
Moving data between Workday and another system: it builds the orchestration, runs it, and when a run fails, reads Workday’s own run history and logs, fixes the cause and runs it again.
Workday Studio
The whole Studio job, in your own Studio.
New integrations and the ones you inherited. kiweely writes the assembly and the XSLT, builds and tests them in the Workday Studio on your computer, and deploys and runs them once you approve.

-
Why did it fail
It finds the step, replays its real input and proves the fix with a test.

Three ideas, and you know your way around.
It installs on your computer like any app. Your first conversation can show you around: say “Show me around”.

- Under the message boxYour AI, your choice of model
It runs on your ChatGPT plan, your Claude plan or an OpenRouter key. Pick the model and effort for each conversation.
Security
Your client’s Workday stays in your hands.
kiweely works from your computer with your own Workday sign-in, so Workday’s security decides what it can see and change. Here is where everything goes.

Your client’s Workday
