Humaans AI features, pricing and GDPR (October 2026)

Humaans is an HR information system from London for growing companies that keeps employee records, time off, onboarding, performance and workflows in one place and adds an AI companion that answers people data and policy questions.

Humaans covers the people directory, documents with e-signature, absence tracking, timesheets, onboarding workflows, requests and approvals, performance reviews, engagement surveys, compensation and headcount planning, plus tables and analytics. An API, webhooks and prebuilt integrations such as Okta, Microsoft Entra ID and Teamtailor connect it to other systems, and an MCP server gives AI tools access to Humaans data.

The company is based in London with offices in New York and San Francisco and raised a $15 million Series A in October 2022. Data is stored in the EU on Google Cloud. In 2026 Humaans launched Athena, a separate agent platform for People, IT and finance requests.

• Answers people data questionsAI Companion answers questions about time away, structure, headcount, roles, compensation, documents, equipment and workflows. It only uses data the asking person may already see under their role, so HR can open it to managers without widening access.
• Answers policy questions from documentsCompanies connect handbooks and policies from uploaded files, Notion or Google Drive, and AI Companion answers employee questions with the source document shown. HR teams spend less time on repeat questions, and employees can check the answer against the original text.
• Summarizes performance reviewsAI summaries pull together review content to show strengths and growth areas and draft a written summary for each employee that develops over review cycles. Managers save time on write-ups and start development talks from a consistent overview.
• Handles employee requests through agentsAthena, sold separately, answers employee requests in Slack and Microsoft Teams and runs the processes behind them, such as leave requests or onboarding steps, across connected HRIS, ATS and IT tools. The vendor states it answers about 80 percent of requests.

• Publishes its DPA with a full subprocessor list, including Anthropic and OpenAI, and states that application data is hosted in the EU.
• AI Companion is billed through AI credits and respects existing role permissions; it answers questions but does not take actions.
• Interface in eleven language variants according to the CEO's product update of June 2025, including German, French, Spanish, Swedish and Chinese.

Humaans is headquartered in London; its offices in New York and San Francisco show presence in the US but no documented market strength there.

Prices are quote-only and AI Companion needs AI credits on top, so ask for both. According to the DPA, AI processing defaults to the EEA or Switzerland, while some AI subprocessors use US data centers; confirm this for your data. In the UK, the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 and UK GDPR govern people data. Performance summaries feed evaluations of staff, so check how managers use them.

• UK GDPR reworked by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025
• ICO consulting on new automated decision-making guidance
• No works councils, but a right to request consultation
