Wisq’s mission is to elevate every workforce with AI HR teammates

Built by HR Tech Experts Who Built...

At Wisq, we believe HR has the power to transform organizations and lives—but only if it’s liberated from the grind of repetitive, endless busywork.

Why We Built Wisq

After the acquisition of Glint, we reflected deeply on what was next. Glint revolutionized HR by helping teams measure engagement, but it left us wanting more. It was still mostly about keeping score—tracking trends and outcomes—but HR needed solutions to actively shape the outcome of the game.

We saw an industry with many functions trapped in rinse-and-repeat tasks: repetitive processes, administrative overload, and limited capacity to focus on meaningful work. A lot of HR activity was becoming robotic. It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

The emergence of generative and agentic AI gave us a vision: what if we could take the robotic work off HR’s plate? What if we built a product that didn’t just assist HR, but became another member of their team—an unfair advantage that let all of  HR be human again?

So we founded Wisq with a bold plan: to accelerate the transition to an AI-augmented workforce where humans and technology work seamlessly to achieve more together.

The Problem

Many HR teams are stuck in a cycle of endless busyness—responding to tickets, enforcing policies, managing  crises—leaving little to no time for strategy, connection, or innovation

The Opportunity

Generative AI isn’t just about doing things faster. It’s about changing what’s possible to do. Wisq shifts HR from drowning in the tactical to thriving in the strategic, enabling teams to do their best work ever.

Our Solution

Wisq is the Agentic AI Platform that powers Harper, the world’s first AI HR Generalist—a purpose-built partner that automates the robotic and elevates the human. From policy compliance to coaching, Wisq takes the load off your plate, so HR can get back to the heart of their profession: leading, designing thriving organizations, building relationships, and driving change.

How Wisq Transforms HR

Wisq doesn’t just help HR teams; it redefines their potential:

  • Wisq continuously engages with employees, flags issues before they escalate, and offers solutions grounded in real-time insights.

  • By automating 80% or more of the work required for repetitive tasks, Wisq restores humanity to all of HR, empowering teams to lead with empathy and purpose.

  • Wisq enables HR to scale effortlessly, creating impact at every level of the organization.

We Don’t Build Software. We Deliver Agency.

Create outcomes, not tools.

Take work off your plate, not give you another product to manage.

Put process on autopilot, not copilot.

Wisq is building for what’s next in HR: a hybrid of frontier AI and human ingenuity that transforms organizations. By partnering with Wisq, your HR team can create the space and capacity to achieve their greatest work ever.
