PLEASANTON, Calif. - Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ:WDAY), a prominent player in the software industry with a market capitalization of $65.6 billion, announced Wednesday the launch of a new Custom AI Model Library for its Contract Intelligence Agent that includes more than 120 pre-built AI models designed to analyze contracts across multiple business functions. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains strong financial health with robust growth metrics.
The new library enhances the existing Contract Intelligence Agent by enabling automated analysis of a wider range of contract terms spanning HR, finance, legal, IT, and sales departments.

"We aren’t just adding features; we are giving our Contract Intelligence Agent new skills that help solve real business problems," said Jerry Ting, vice president, head of agentic AI & Evisort at Workday.
The company stated that customers can deploy the pre-trained models immediately and refine them further by providing feedback without coding requirements.
Workday’s Contract Intelligence Agent is powered by Evisort, and the company positions the technology as a way to enable faster contract reviews, earlier risk detection, and reduced manual effort for organizations.
The announcement comes as Workday continues to expand its enterprise AI platform, which currently serves more than 11,000 organizations globally, including over 65% of Fortune 500 companies, according to the press release statement.
