Worki provides an AI-native infrastructure layer that connects existing workforce systems (Workday, UKG, Oracle, ServiceNow, ATS, LMS and others) to create a single modular data identity and task-role architecture. Its platform maps how administrative and operational work is performed at the task level (Pathways), unifies siloed workforce data (Unify), deploys agent-driven operational actions (Amplifiers), and enables scaling of workforce intelligence across organizations (Infrasharing). Early deployments with health system partners have reduced administrative burden and projected millions in first-year savings as adoption scales. The founding team includes CEO Craig Allan Ahrens, CCO Michael Biggs, and CTO Harvey Hongwei Li, PhD, whose combined healthcare operations and AI experience was highlighted by investors. With the $2.75 million pre-seed raise, Worki plans to expand into additional health systems and further develop its infrastructure, with an eventual intent to apply the model to other regulated industries.
