FAQs
What is the Cornerstone platform?
Cornerstone is the intelligence platform for workforce readiness. It connects workforce and labor market data into a proprietary Cornerstone People Graph™, translates those signals into governed skills and tasks intelligence, and puts that intelligence to work through a network of AI agents. Organizations that use Cornerstone can target learning where it matters, elevate talent, and inform decisions while the strategic window is still open.
What makes Cornerstone unique?
Most workforce platforms either generate data or help you take action. Few do both. Cornerstone ties governed, living workforce intelligence directly to how you do business. The Cornerstone People Graph™ continuously aggregates signals from across your enterprise systems. The Skills Engine translates those signals into validated, auditable skills and task data. And then AI agents turn that data into decisions and action. Together, they support workforce decisions you can defend, and development that's grounded in what people actually need.
How does Cornerstone integrate with other tools?
Cornerstone connects to almost every tool across your enterprise. HRIS, ATS, CRM, ERP, project management, and work execution systems all integrate with Cornerstone. We use flexible APIs, connectors, and support for MCP and agent-to-agent (A2A) protocols. This flexibility means workforce intelligence flows into the systems where decisions actually get made. Your hiring, learning, mobility, and planning all get an intelligence boost. Cornerstone also surfaces into where your people work, integrating with platforms like Salesforce Agentforce, Slack, Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft Teams, and more.
How does Cornerstone use AI?
Cornerstone uses AI at three different levels: foundation, intelligence, and execution. At the foundation, AI aggregates and governs raw workforce signals to make it validated, explainable, and auditable. At the intelligence layer, conversational AI agents let leaders ask a question, get an answer, and activate a plan. At the execution layer, agents send signals back across systems to orchestrate smarter learning paths, mobility opportunities, and workforce decisions. Each level has AI protections, guardrails, and access for human oversight.
