Zycus and Akool Disrupt the C-Suite: When AI Challenges the Irreplaceable
PALO ALTO, Calif., July 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While the industry obsesses over AI replacing junior analysts and mid-level managers, Akool and Zycus just shattered the ultimate glass ceiling: they've digitally cloned a CEO. At Horizon SEA 2025 in Malaysia, these companies unleashed an AI avatar of Zycus Founder and CEO Aatish Dedhia that engaged senior procurement leaders in real-time strategic dialogue about competitive positioning and transformation. This isn't incremental innovation. This is a direct assault on the belief that visionary leadership can't be codified. Most GenAI applications target the bottom of the org chart—automating reports, scheduling meetings, drafting emails. But this partnership proved that even the most sacred executive function—strategic vision and thought leadership—can begin to be digitized, scaled, and deployed at will. 'This partnership represents the convergence of cutting-edge AI avatar technology with deep industry expertise,' said Jiajun (Jeff) Lu, Founder & CEO at Akool. 'The avatar was trained on over 20–30 minutes of personalized video content, enriched with proprietary procurement knowledge and competitive intelligence. The result was a highly interactive digital spokesperson capable of delivering strategic insights at scale.' 'Everyone's been playing it safe, automating the obvious,' said Amit Shah, CMO & Global Head BD at Zycus. 'We've taken the first bold step—creating a digital CEO that could hold meaningful conversations with C-suite executives across APAC. This is just the beginning, and naturally the avatar has a long way to go, but it proves that audacity opens doors others won't even attempt.' This breakthrough stems from Dedhia's two-decade journey as an AI pioneer. Long before 'AI' became boardroom buzzword bingo, he was building Merlin AI—proving his conviction that AI could fundamentally transform enterprise operations. Today, it's Dedhia who pushes his team beyond conventional thinking, demanding they abandon the obvious for the seemingly impossible. True innovation requires audacity over comfort zones. The real disruption isn't in the current technology—it's in the precedent being set. If the initial replication of strategic insights from a founder and CEO shows this much promise, what executive function might eventually be scalable? Both companies are now exploring how to evolve this breakthrough across client experiences and training programs. The message is clear: in a world where even the first attempts at digitizing founders show promise, the only competitive advantage is the courage to challenge what everyone else believes is impossible. About Akool Akool is a complete AI Video Generation Suite, transforming how professional video content is created. From real-time digital avatars to lip sync, face swap, and multilingual video translation, Akool empowers individuals and enterprises to produce studio-quality videos at scale—without actors, cameras, or production teams.

Workforce Management Meets Work Challenges, ISG Says
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 3, 2025-- Enterprises are transforming workforce management with software that uses AI and automation to address labor challenges and opportunities, according to new research from global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm Information Services Group ( ISG ) (Nasdaq: III ). The ISG Buyers Guides™ for Workforce Management (WFM), produced by ISG Software Research, provide the rankings and ratings of 23 software providers and their products to support the management of workforces in general enterprises and specific industries. The research finds that recent innovations in WFM software coincide with a still-tight labor market and ongoing disruptions related to remote and hybrid work. Many companies are seizing this moment to change their software roadmaps and practices around WFM, seeking new tools that meet evolving employee and administrative expectations. 'Enterprises want software that brings more types of data to bear and delivers insights for workforce decisions, and providers are starting to deliver them,' said Matthew Brown, human capital management research director, ISG Software Research. 'Advances in AI, GenAI and real-time analytics make WFM software more powerful and easier for workers to use through self-service tools.' WFM software ensures the right people are working at the right times, a complex task affected by budget considerations, availability of skills, employee preferences and other factors, the research finds. The core functions found in basic WFM platforms include the ability to schedule shifts, capture time worked, track absences and forecast demand. WFM suites layer advanced capabilities such as skills-based optimization and real-time cost simulation on top of these basics. Newly emerging WFM features address four pressing requirements of employers and employees, ISG finds. Companies need to know the potential cost and compliance risks of a given worker roster before it is locked in. If core staffing falls short, they need flexibility to bring in resources from agencies and gig marketplaces. To meet specific requirements for each shift, companies need to make practical staffing decisions based on specific skills rather than job titles. In addition, workers expect the ability to choose shifts and resolve HR questions through a consumer-style chat interface. The new baseline for WFM software calls for increased self-service and smarter labor schedules, the research finds. Enterprises have embraced tools including forecasting engines that ingest live signals such as IoT telemetry rather than use historical averages to predict need. Companies expect smarter and AI-driven workforce systems that understand their needs for skills and worker availability and that hide the complexity of APIs and platforms — without the need for customization. Focused, in-depth research includes details about how three key industries are using advanced WFM software. For example, manufacturers are combining AI-based workforce schedules with real-time data about machine health to ensure they only assign workers when lines need them. Healthcare providers incorporate electronic medical records and work rules into software to more precisely predict staffing needs, and retailers use data such as weather reports and foot-traffic patterns captured by computer vision to adjust rosters in minutes. For its 2025 Buyers Guides™ for Workforce Management, ISG evaluated software providers across five platform categories — Workforce Management Basics, Workforce Management Suites, Workforce Management Healthcare, Workforce Management Manufacturing and Workforce Management Retail — and produced a separate Buyers Guide for each. A total of 23 providers were assessed: ADP, ADP WorkForce Software, Dayforce, ATOSS, Blue Yonder, Dayforce, Deltek, Infor, isolved, OneAdvanced, Oracle, Paychex, Paychex Paycor, Paycom, Paylocity, Quinyx, Relicon, Rippling, SAP, TCP Software, UKG, Workday and Zebra. ISG Software Research rates software providers in seven evaluation categories. Five are related to product experience: usability, manageability, reliability, capability, and adaptability. Two are related to customer assurance: validation and total cost of ownership and return on investment (TCO/ROI). Providers ranked in the top three for each evaluation category are named as Leaders. Within each platform category, those with the most Leader rankings are named as Overall Leaders. The Overall Leaders of the 2025 Buyers Guides™ for Workforce Management were the following: Workforce Management Basics: Oracle was the highest-rated provider overall, followed by ADP and UKG. Oracle was designated a Leader in all seven evaluation categories, ADP in six and UKG in two. In addition to the three overall leaders, ADP WorkForce Software, Blue Yonder, Dayforce, Deltek, Infor, isolved, Quinyx, Rippling, SAP, Workday and Zebra also were rated Exemplary. No providers were rated Innovative. Workforce Management Suites: Oracle earned the highest overall rating, followed by ADP and UKG. Oracle was named a Leader in all seven evaluation categories, ADP in six and UKG in two. In addition to these providers, ADP WorkForce Software, Dayforce, Deltek, Quinyx, SAP and Workday also were rated Exemplary. No providers were rated Innovative.

In addition to the top three overall providers, ADP WorkForce Software, Dayforce, Infor, SAP and Workday also were rated Exemplary. No providers were rated Innovative. 'Workforce management software is essential for a wide range of businesses that rely on hourly workers. It has become increasingly flexible in self-service scheduling and pay options for workers,' said Mark Smith, partner and chief software analyst, ISG Software Research. 'The research provides new opportunities for organizations to assess their existing providers for WFM and determine those best prepared to lead in the new AI software-driven economy.' The ISG Buyers Guides™ for Workforce Management are the distillation of more than a year of market and product research efforts. The research is not sponsored nor influenced by software providers and is conducted solely to help enterprises optimize their business and IT software investments.
