Unily Launches AI-Powered Glass to Turn Employee Experience Platforms into Productivity Engines

Unily is pushing the boundaries of employee experience platforms with the launch of Unily Glass, a conversational, AI-native execution layer designed to move work from information to action. Available March 31, 2026, Unily Glass marks the debut of Unily Futures, the company’s vision for embedding AI directly into enterprise productivity.

Early demos are underway at UNLEASH America (March 17–19) and later this month at the Gartner Digital Workplace Summit in San Diego (March 23–24).

Tackling the Productivity Gap

Despite years of investment in digital workplace tools, organizations still face a persistent challenge: employees can find information quickly, but completing tasks often requires juggling multiple apps, systems, and AI assistants. This digital friction slows workflows and undercuts productivity.

Unily Glass aims to solve this by letting employees execute tasks directly within the platform using natural language. From raising IT tickets to requesting time off or interacting with applications like Workday, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and Slack, tasks can now be completed without hopping between systems.

Early participants in Unily’s Lighthouse Program report that Glass saves more than 15 minutes per employee per day—equivalent to a full workweek annually. At scale, this could return millions of hours to enterprises each year, making a tangible case for AI-native employee experiences.

What Sets Unily Glass Apart

Unlike conventional AI assistants that simply surface information, Unily Glass is an execution layer. Employees don’t just ask questions—they get tasks done.

Key features include:

  • Conversational knowledge retrieval across enterprise systems

  • 60+ executable actions across integrated enterprise apps

  • Task completion without leaving the unified interface

By embedding AI within a consumer-grade, employee-first experience, Unily is betting that productivity gains come less from adding tools and more from reducing friction in existing workflows.

“Enterprise productivity doesn’t improve simply by adding more AI tools,” said Sam Hassani, CTO of Unily. “It improves when AI is embedded into experiences employees actually want to use.”

Built on 20+ Years of Digital Workplace Expertise

Unily Glass leverages decades of experience in creating digital workplaces for global enterprises. Its design prioritizes usability, adoption, and real-world impact, informed by feedback from the Lighthouse Program and direct enterprise partnerships.

The launch also introduces Unily Futures, a broader vision where AI isn’t an add-on but a core component of workplace design. While Glass is the first major capability, Unily plans additional AI-native features later in 2026, further reducing digital friction and accelerating enterprise productivity.

Why It Matters

For modern enterprises grappling with tool sprawl, remote work complexity, and increasing workflow demands, Unily Glass offers a clear value proposition: less toggling, more doing. By transforming employee experience platforms from static knowledge hubs into action-ready environments, Unily is staking its claim in the growing market of AI-driven workplace productivity solutions.

With AI-native execution layers now entering the enterprise space, organizations may soon measure the ROI of digital workplaces not by clicks or logins, but by the hours saved—and the work actually accomplished.
