Rippling, the people data platform for forward-thinking companies, is named the #1 Leader in the first-ever G2 Grid® for AI Agents for HR Software.

Rippling received the highest overall score from more than 650 customer reviews, reinforcing its leadership position in the HCM world for delivering real AI products with practical utility for customers. The rankings are based on hundreds of reviews from customers and awards products based on Satisfaction and Market Presence scores.

Rippling AI is a complete HR, IT and finance copilot that benefits from a native integration to a company’s people, technology, and financial data. Within existing policies and permissions, it lets managers and G&A leaders perform advanced analyses, take actions, and set up automations that simplify life for every employee in the business. By eliminating busywork, it saves every Rippling customer money, while making teams more effective.

“Rippling is alone among competitors for having shipped AI-powered products that do useful things for our customers, today,” said Matt MacInnis, President and Chief Product Officer at Rippling. “They’ve adopted Rippling AI because it can work safely with their most sensitive data to drive insights and take actions.”

G2, a leading B2B software marketplace, pulls user ratings and data to evaluate and rank products based on real customer experiences. As AI adoption has accelerated, G2 has added more than 30 AI-specific categories to its reports, including AI Agents for HR, which recognizes tools that can directly automate work.

Rippling’s recognition comes as the company continues to expand its investment in AI. Rippling recently introduced AI Spend Console, which helps customers track, understand, and control AI spend across their workforce, as well as Rippling Data Cloud, which connects business data with organizational context across HR, IT, and finance. The company also launched Rippling AI Governance, a suite of products that helps companies scale AI usage without losing track of spend, access, or accountability. Additionally, Rippling Finance announced Procurement and Business Banking, enabling same-day payroll for businesses. Together, these products reflect Rippling’s broader push to give companies the data, visibility, and governance needed to integrate AI across their workforce and operations.

The win extends a dominant showing across G2’s Fall 2026 Reports, where Rippling also claimed the #1 Leader in Benefits Administration, Employee Scheduling, HR Compliance, PEO Providers, Procurement Spend Analysis, Training Management Systems and Workforce Planning. Rippling is also ranked the #2 Leader in G2’s Grid® for AI Agents and Grid® for Agentic AI Software.
