What is Lattice?
Lattice built an AI agent worth visiting, then handed its data to everyone else's.
Lattice runs AI Agent as its own changelog category alongside Performance, Compensation, and Analytics, and the June work built it into something worth opening: the Agent attends 1:1s and captures summaries, action items, and coaching insights, answers data questions with charts rather than prose, and takes voice input. July then pointed the same capability outward. An MCP server exposes Lattice to Claude, OpenAI, and Slack, and AI review drafts are assembled from a person's own 1:1s, feedback, goals, and updates with cited sources. Underneath both, the performance and compensation machinery keeps absorbing manual setup — calibration groups generated from the org chart, approved promotions carried from a review cycle into a comp cycle.
What is Tanda?
Tanda reworks break rules, adds SMS stage alerts in Hire and extends fallback leave to NZ.
Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, centered on Australian and New Zealand employment compliance. October 20 alone brought break rules that apply only the breaks for the longest shift length reached instead of stacking them, SMS notifications when a candidate moves stage in Hire, single-request fallback leave for NZ, training auto-renewals and several award template rate updates. Earlier in the week came bulk earnings-rate actions and leave approval that shows roster coverage.

Lattice

Lattice built an AI agent worth visiting, then handed its data to everyone else's.
◆ Current state
Lattice runs AI Agent as its own changelog category alongside Performance, Compensation, and Analytics, and the June work built it into something worth opening: the Agent attends 1:1s and captures summaries, action items, and coaching insights, answers data questions with charts rather than prose, and takes voice input. July then pointed the same capability outward. An MCP server exposes Lattice to Claude, OpenAI, and Slack, and AI review drafts are assembled from a person's own 1:1s, feedback, goals, and updates with cited sources. Underneath both, the performance and compensation machinery keeps absorbing manual setup — calibration groups generated from the org chart, approved promotions carried from a review cycle into a comp cycle.
◆ Where it's heading
The interesting move is that Lattice stopped assuming it wins by being the app you open. June made the Agent a destination; July made Lattice reachable from Claude, ChatGPT, and Slack instead, which is a bet that being the HR data layer beats owning the chat surface. Review drafts show what that data layer is being accumulated for: the meeting capture, feedback, and goals the Agent has been collecting are now the raw material for the review itself, with citations as the trust mechanism. Compensation is on a slower and more procedural track, closing loops — sending recommendations back for revision, exporting with HRIS IDs attached — rather than adding AI.
◆ Prediction
Expect the review-drafting work and the MCP surface to converge, so a manager can draft an evidence-cited review from Claude or Slack without opening Lattice. Whether compensation gets the same treatment is genuinely unclear from these entries — that area is still being hardened procedurally, and approval chains carry consequences that make an AI draft a harder sell.
Tanda
8.8HR
Tanda reworks break rules, adds SMS stage alerts in Hire and extends fallback leave to NZ.
◆ Current state
Tanda ships near-daily across rostering, payroll and hiring, centered on Australian and New Zealand employment compliance. October 20 alone brought break rules that apply only the breaks for the longest shift length reached instead of stacking them, SMS notifications when a candidate moves stage in Hire, single-request fallback leave for NZ, training auto-renewals and several award template rate updates. Earlier in the week came bulk earnings-rate actions and leave approval that shows roster coverage.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run together: payroll and award rules gain the configurability larger employers need, and day-to-day decisions gain context, from leave coverage to the Reporting Agent. Hire is picking up channels beyond email, so recruiting is becoming a fuller module rather than a side feature.
◆ Prediction
Expect the break-rule and fallback-leave changes to finish rolling out across AU and NZ, more award template updates as the junior-rate phase-out nears its 1 December start, and SMS reaching other Hire or rostering notifications.
