HR Executive and the HR Tech conference have named Harper by Wisq as one of the year’s Top HR Products. Selected alongside 11 other solutions, this tool was awarded for its innovative approach at the intersection of human resources and technology.
What it is
Harper is the world’s first AI HR Generalist, powered by the Wisq Agentic HR Platform and HRLM, the proprietary reasoning language model trained for HR’s complex, policy-bound, compliance-heavy workflows. Harper automates HR service delivery for enterprises, transforms HR operations, reduces the burden of administrative work and improves employee experiences. Using Wisq’s Agentic AI purpose-built for HR, Harper reasons through scenarios and completes actions across systems, helping HR teams save time and focus on strategic initiatives. Founded in 2022 by the team behind Glint, Wisq has raised $55 million from Norwest Venture Partners, Shasta Ventures and True Ventures.
Why we liked it
Harper, the AI HR Generalist by Wisq, earned a 94% pass rate on the SHRM-CP exam, demonstrating this AI generalist’s competency, while the agentic HR operating model shows how AI can work across all organizational tiers. What impressed us most were the “watertight” triage rules ensuring Harper knows when human intervention is needed, maintaining the crucial human-in-the-loop approach for all decisions. The real-time logging system provides transparency and accountability, while Harper’s ability to push data back to systems of record and follow up on queries creates a truly integrated workflow. This isn’t just automation—it’s intelligent augmentation that enhances both HR programs and manager performance while maintaining appropriate human oversight and ethical guidelines.
