Customers can ask about their workforce in plain language and take actions like approving requests, filling shifts, submitting time off and engaging candidates. The connector respects existing Dayforce permissions and requires human confirmation before data changes go through. It's in beta now, with general availability expected in 2027. The move is part of Dayforce's new Agentic HCM Platform, which also includes Dayforce Build for creating apps via natural language and expanded integration with Microsoft Copilot and Teams. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
