History in the Making
Meet Rippling AI

Candy ChengRippling is the workforce platform that runs HR, IT, and finance on a single system of record built around employee identity. Because every product sits on the same data model and the same permission system, its AI agents can move across payroll, spend, devices, and headcount the way a person would — and are held to exactly the permissions that person has. Most companies are trying to bolt AI onto a hundred disconnected tools. Rippling spent ten years building the thing AI actually needs under the hood.
We spent a day with the team at Rippling’s San Francisco and New York offices. They ship constantly, use their own product to run the company, and hold a standard that shows up in how the engineers talk about the platform.
