TLDR: Lattice, a leading HR platform, has introduced ‘Habits’ and an advanced ‘AI Agent Plus’ to foster a new era of work where human connection and artificial intelligence seamlessly integrate. These innovations aim to combat workplace noise by providing AI-driven support, personalized coaching, and a structured system of behaviors for improved team alignment and manager effectiveness.
SAN FRANCISCO – October 21, 2025 – Lattice, the prominent HR platform dedicated to fostering success through the synergy of people and AI, today announced the launch of ‘Habits’ and the next generation of its AI Agent, ‘LatticeAI Agent Plus’. This strategic unveiling, made during Lattice’s Innovation Day in San Francisco, signifies a profound shift in how work is approached, moving from fragmented interactions to a more connected and purpose-driven environment.
Sarah Franklin, CEO of Lattice, highlighted the pervasive challenge in modern workplaces: ‘For decades, companies have invested heavily in building sophisticated business systems. Yet, technology has made communication harder in the workplace. Endless emails, instant messages, irrelevant meetings, and outdated systems have people drowning in information.’ She emphasized that despite people being the most crucial asset, systematic investment and optimization have often overlooked them. Franklin articulated a core belief, stating, ‘The most powerful system in the world is the system of people. Whether harnessing fire, taking flight, or creating the internet, our greatest achievements have come from our ability to communicate and work together toward something bigger than ourselves.’ She lamented the current state where ‘we still can’t answer simple questions like ‘what should I focus on today?’ The result: miscommunication, misalignment, and meaningless work. The employee conversation is broken.’
Lattice’s new offerings, Habits and AI Agent Plus, are designed to directly address these issues by creating a system of behavior that promotes organizational alignment through rhythm and insight. ‘Habits’ introduces a novel framework for work, structured around how managers and teams can effectively collaborate and communicate.
The ‘Lattice AI Agent Plus’ represents a significant evolution, offering premium, proactive benefits specifically tailored to enhance manager effectiveness and employee growth. Key features of this advanced AI agent include:
Intelligent, Personalized Coaching: The AI agent acts as a virtual teammate, joining 1:1 meetings, taking notes, and delivering contextual guidance customized to individual management styles, team dynamics, and company data.
Proactive Management Insights: It tracks goals and progress, flagging in real-time when individuals or projects require attention.
Voice-Powered Simulated Conversations: Managers can practice crucial communication scenarios, from delivering difficult feedback to discussing career progression, in a safe, simulated environment.
This initiative builds upon Lattice’s existing AI capabilities, which were first introduced earlier in 2025. The company’s AI-powered platform aims to transform HR teams into strategic leaders by providing tools that enhance performance management, employee engagement, and people analytics. Lattice’s AI infrastructure is powered by OpenAI’s trusted machine-learning model, underscoring a commitment to leveraging best-in-class technology.
Lattice also emphasizes its dedication to responsible AI development, focusing on elevating human decision-making and protecting customer data. The company is GDPR and SOC 2 compliant, ensuring that AI enhancements empower people leaders to make informed decisions without replacing human judgment.
Further expanding its reach, Lattice recently announced its integration with the Workday Partner Program on October 15, 2025. This partnership will connect Lattice’s AI-powered Talent Suite with Workday Human Capital Management (HCM), providing shared customers with a unified view of their workforce and enabling smarter, faster decisions through automated reporting and predictive analytics.

People + AI is a new way to work, where we can all grow, lead, and succeed together.’ This vision positions Lattice at the forefront of reimagining HR, scaling human potential through intelligent technology.
