Workday Extend vs. Canopy

Workday Extend unlocks the Workday Build platform, giving developer and IT teams an end-to-end toolkit to build, run, and scale custom agents, apps, and orchestrations. It force multiplies your builders using natural language in preferred agentic IDEs—including Claude Code, Cursor, and Google Antigravity—allowing teams to build in plain language at the speed of thought without sacrificing compliance or control. By combining agentic acceleration with built-in enterprise guardrails, custom agents execute on the Workday Trusted Agent Platform.
