Key functions

Compared with Selenios

• Publishes a price (from $50 per month); Selenios quotes on request.

Check before buying: Beam AI lists plans from Free (20 tasks per month) through Pro ($50 per month) to Scale ($3,990 per month); larger deployments run on an individually priced Custom plan. Because it is a general agent platform, ask how HR data is separated from other departments' agents on the same account. If agents screen candidates for roles in New York City, Local Law 144 requires a bias audit of automated hiring tools. For staff in Germany, works council co-determination under Section 87(1)(6) BetrVG, a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR and the EU AI Act's recruitment obligations from December 2, 2027, apply.

Flip is an employee experience app for frontline workforces such as retail, manufacturing or healthcare staff, built in Stuttgart, with AI agents that answer questions from verified company knowledge and carry out tasks across connected HR and scheduling systems.

• Headquartered in Germany, Selenios in Argentina.
• Has a German interface; Selenios does not list one.

Check before buying: Because the Agent Gateway touches several backend systems at once, map out exactly which agent can read or write to which system before switching it on. Flip states its data is hosted in Germany and cites ISO 27001, SOC 2 and C5 certification. Where an agent ends up monitoring or scoring individual employees, German works councils can claim co-determination under Section 87(1) No. 6 BetrVG.

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.

• Headquartered in United Kingdom, Selenios in Argentina.
• Has a German interface; Selenios does not list one.
• Names 2 security certificates, Selenios 0.

Check before buying: 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.

• Names 7 security certificates, Selenios 0.
• Strongest elsewhere: United States, India.

Check before buying: Because Leena AI connects to HR, IT and finance systems through more than 200 integrations, map which employee data each connector exposes before signing. Hosting spans multiple regions, so confirm where your data will live; EU customers should get that region in the data processing agreement. In India, DPDP rules on consent and privacy notices take full effect on May 13, 2027, and the IT Rules 2011 already require documented security practices for sensitive data. For staff in California, the CCPA covers employee data the same way as consumer data.

Key functions

• Make AI Agent (New) app, in open beta: agents use modules, scenarios and MCP tools, can hand work to sub-agents and show each decision in a reasoning panel

• Can store data in the EU; Selenios states no EU option.
• Headquartered in Czechia, Selenios in Argentina.
• Names 3 security certificates, Selenios 0.

Check before buying: Set up a data processing agreement with Make once employee personal data passes through the platform or its connected AI calls, and define who may create or edit scenarios touching HR data. Where an automated scenario ends up monitoring or scoring individual employees, that process can still trigger works council co-determination under Section 87(1) No. 6 BetrVG, even though Make itself is a generic tool.

Microsoft Power Automate is the automation component of the Power Platform, sold through Microsoft's enterprise channel for companies already running Microsoft 365, with Copilot as an AI layer that builds, monitors and repairs workflows from natural language.

Key functions

• Copilot generates workflows directly from a natural-language description
• Copilot in Process Mining summarizes process data and findings in natural language
• AI Builder provides trainable AI models for document processing and text recognition without code

Compared with Selenios

• Publishes a price (from $15 per user/month); Selenios quotes on request.
• Offers a free trial; we found none for Selenios.
• Can store data in the EU; Selenios states no EU option.
• Has a German interface; Selenios does not list one.

Check before buying: Check your data processing agreement with Microsoft before routing HR data through flows, and decide who may build or edit flows touching HR records. Outside a few GPU-enabled regions, Copilot is on by default through a cross-geo data-sharing toggle an admin can turn off at the tenant level. If a resulting workflow ends up monitoring or scoring individual employees, German works councils can still claim co-determination under Section 87(1) No. 6 BetrVG.

n8n is a general-purpose workflow automation platform from Berlin built around a visual, node-based editor, used across departments including HR, with native AI nodes, autonomous agents and support for the Model Context Protocol.

Key functions

Compared with Selenios

• Publishes a price (from €20 per month); Selenios quotes on request.
• Offers a free trial; we found none for Selenios.
• Can store data in the EU; Selenios states no EU option.
• Headquartered in Germany, Selenios in Argentina.

Check before buying: Set up a data processing agreement once employee data passes through n8n or its AI calls, and decide who may build or edit flows touching HR data. Self-hosting gives full control over data location; the managed cloud is faster to start with but hosts outside your own infrastructure. Where an automated flow ends up monitoring or scoring individual employees, German works councils can still gain co-determination rights under Section 87(1) No. 6 BetrVG.

ServiceNow HR Service Delivery is the HR module of ServiceNow's enterprise workflow platform, built for large organizations that want employee requests and cases handled inside the same system as IT and other business functions.

Key functions

• Now Assist for HR Service Delivery summarizes cases and chats and drafts resolution notes
• EmployeeWorks combines the AI search and chat assistant acquired from Moveworks in one home page for employees (generally available since May 14, 2026, per the vendor)

Compared with Selenios

• Can store data in the EU; Selenios states no EU option.
• Has a German interface; Selenios does not list one.
• Names 7 security certificates, Selenios 0.

Check before buying: Before buying, ask specifically which EmployeeWorks and Now Assist capabilities are included in the HR Service Delivery license, since ServiceNow sells them as part of a wider Now Platform contract rather than a standalone HR product. Because autonomous agents can act on employee cases and surface performance-relevant information, German employers should involve the works council under Section 87 BetrVG, and where AI output feeds into hiring, promotion or performance decisions, EU AI Act high-risk duties apply from December 2027.
