Workato has introduced a self-service offering for its enterprise AI platform in Singapore, allowing developers, students and customers across Asia to build AI agents and MCP servers. Users can begin with a free account and move to a paid plan as their projects grow, without a contract requirement. The rollout follows an initial launch in North America earlier in 2026, where Workato reports rapid growth in its community of builders, and extends the same access model to users across Asia, including individuals and smaller teams developing AI and automation projects.
Access to AI and automation tools
The platform allows users to create Workato recipes, Agents/Genies and MCP servers directly. Workato says the self-service offering runs on the same governed, enterprise-grade engine used for its largest deployments, giving independent builders access to the underlying technology used by its enterprise customers. The offering is intended for independent developers and students alongside small teams and large enterprises, with the company noting that users can govern and scale their AI initiatives on the platform, including putting AI agents and MCP servers into production as projects develop.
Across the wider platform, Workato brings together data, applications and processes so AI can manage business workflows in production. The company says its governed execution layer connects more than 17,000 enterprise systems and draws on over a decade of running mission-critical processes for more than half the Fortune 500, naming Nasdaq, Cisco, Vodafone, Atlassian and Lucid Motors among the organisations using its technology.
Rishi Mallik, Workato’s Chief Growth Officer, described the company’s intention to extend access to its enterprise technology to a wider community of builders. “The next era of AI won’t be defined by who has access to intelligence, but by who can turn it into action. We’re putting the same enterprise-grade power trusted by the world’s largest companies into the hands of every builder. We want everyone to be able to transform how their business operates,” he said.
Education partnerships and community access in Singapore
The launch follows Workato’s earlier programmes to develop AI and automation skills in Singapore. In September 2025, the company unveiled the AI Institute Alliance, working with higher education institutions to equip students and educators with skills in these technologies. The participating institutions were Nanyang Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, Temasek Polytechnic, Singapore Polytechnic, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, the Singapore University of Social Sciences and the National University of Singapore.
A year later, Workato opened its AI Lab, extending its activities into the public sector through its partnership with EDB and into inclusive hiring through SG Enable. The company describes its self-service rollout as a further investment in Singapore’s local builder community.
Workato presented the self-service platform and its broader community initiatives at World of Workato (WOW) 2026 in Singapore. Sign-ups are now open for developers, students and other users interested in accessing the platform.
