Rippling launched its AI analyst today. I'm not just the CEO - I'm also the Rippling admin for our co, and I run payroll for our ~ 5K global employees. Here are 5 specific ways Rippling AI has changed my job, and why I believe this is the future of G&A software. 🧵 1/n

2/ I'll never build a report again. Rippling AI will quickly build any report or analysis instantly - including some far beyond what I could build on my own. But sometimes you just want to scribble something on a whiteboard, snap a picture, and tell rippling AI to build it:

@parkerconrad The meta here is wild: a CEO doing his own payroll admin is a better product endorsement than any case study Rippling could buy. What made you keep doing it yourself instead of delegating it out?

@parkerconrad Ive been using this for the past couple months. Total game changer. A couple use cases: -Analyze T24M attrition on my team. Compare this to review cycle scores. What are the patterns. -Analyze my team’s PTO usage over the past 24 months. Who isnt using enough PTO -etc

Any travel tools yet? I need Rippling to provide me offsite planning assistance - best dates (scheduling around availability) - location recommendations (affordability + accessibility based on employee locations) - flight booking options - hotel group booking - budget authorization for employees Claude did a great job packaging it up once I provided clean data on employees. Make it native plz 🙂

@parkerconrad G&A software that doesn’t just record work—it does the work! That's the power of AI + proprietary system-of-record data. Exciting developments from Rippling.

@parkerconrad HUGE. LFG, Parker. Congrats on the milestone. Love seeing real AI gains.

@parkerconrad Looks slick, but how does it handle edge cases with international payroll taxes? Those usually expose AI hallucinations fast.

@parkerconrad This is where vertical AI gets real. Once the system can reason over actual operational data and policy constraints, it stops being a copilot demo and starts being software.

@parkerconrad Using it internally and definitely a game changer. Makes painful tasks of compiling reports finally exciting and get to finish them in seconds rather hours.

@parkerconrad So is this AI just a fancy report builder, or does it actually tell you what you're doing wrong?

Exciting stuff! This is what makes systems of action (system of record + agentic automations) so powerful. Rippling has all of their customer's relevant data and is in the best position to build end-to-end automations that push and pull directly from HR/payroll. What starts with relatively simple automations (build reports, review payroll adjustments) will soon turn into long horizon projects (review how our top and bottom performers did when we interviewed them, propose a new hiring process that helps us find more top performers).

@parkerconrad Sounds terrific! Share demo mate!

@parkerconrad The best AI doesn't replace your judgment — it removes everything between you and what actually matters. When the system handles the noise, you're left with people and decisions. That's not automation, that's breathing room.

@parkerconrad Been working at Rippling for ~1 week. I've used Rippling AI to: - Understand the org chart and find product owners. - Prepare an onboarding deck for a new hire based on what we observed in interview feedback. - Help me create workflows to automate managerial stuff like 1:1 notes.

@parkerconrad sounds like a game changer. I’ve seen how tedious payroll can be. AI might finally lighten that load.

@parkerconrad @Rippling This is very exciting. From a support standpoint, I’m especially excited to introduce Rippling AI to clients and use it to elevate the customer experience and pull in stronger CSATs.

@parkerconrad I’ve been using Rippling AI for a few weeks now, and I can’t imagine going back to building reports manually anymore. #Game_changer

This is a strong example of AI compressing operational layers into a single interface. Fewer handoffs between systems led to faster decisions and fewer errors. The gain came from cohesion, not just speed. How do you see trust evolving as AI takes on more operational responsibility? Especially in areas like payroll where accuracy and accountability are critical.

@parkerconrad If the CEO can run payroll for 5K employees using @Rippling AI, the 'busy work' era of G&A is officially over. Rippling AI is setting the new gold standard for ERPs. Big move. 💎

@parkerconrad @parkerconrad I have a feature request already! I wish the AI could handle currency conversion for me. I know you have currency conversion in hiring/change flows but it’s not appearing here.

@parkerconrad This is an amazing thread on all the mechanical tasks that Rippling AI can solve on pain points HR managers have in their day to day tasks. Even more impressive that the CEO runs payroll and understands as a customer all the areas of opportunity!

@parkerconrad combing through your candidate pipeline and all interviews and notes to find folks to pivot - that's next level magic

@parkerconrad Feels like the real shift here is going from “data exists” to “data is actually usable in seconds.” That’s where things start to change. 🙌🏼

@parkerconrad This is big time. Rippling is about to eat Workday's lunch

@parkerconrad This is exactly it. From messy data → clear insights → real action, all in one place. Ask → understand → act. That’s the unlock 🔥 Excited to see how teams start putting this to work every day.

@parkerconrad Imagine the results and the accuracy of it when everything is centred around Employee Graph! Insane results and finally time to say goodbye to hallucinations 🙌🏻

G&A is where AI creates compounding leverage — saved hours multiply across headcount. The compound platform angle matters here: Rippling's AI analyst has unified context across IT, HR, and finance. A point solution can't replicate that without paying a costly data integration tax.

@parkerconrad how many CEOs out there run their own payroll?

@parkerconrad This is a prime example of why the "System of Record" must evolve. By layering AI over global payroll and HR data, Rippling transforms a static database into a reasoning engine that solves real business problems.
