“Gamification was the right way to modernize our training system for the pharmacists we work with. We wanted to develop a platform for those looking for in-depth training – but at the same time, explore the possibility of providing quick tips/key messages to make it easier to retain our products in the face of growing competition. ” Read more here!

“We started the partnership with GFoundry still pre-pandemic, never imagining it would be so useful to us at a stage when we have people all from home and how are we now going to be able to reach them, and keep them engaged, when they end up doing an onboarding all remotely!” Read more here!

“We thought it might be a good idea to come up with something that would complement their (traditional) onboarding plan in some way. We needed something that in addition to the 2-day onboarding would give them something more personal, allow them to get to know the (Natixis) culture better.” Know more here.

FAQs

How does GFoundry compare with SAP SuccessFactors, Cornerstone, Workday, Bizneo, Talentia or cegid PHC?

GFoundry positions itself as a talent activation layer, complementary to traditional administrative suites. Versus SAP SuccessFactors or Workday (heavy enterprise suites with a corporate focus), GFoundry is mobile-first, more agile and designed for daily adoption. Versus Cornerstone (enterprise LMS), it brings native gamification and contextual AI. Versus Bizneo, Talentia or cegid PHC (ATS + administrative processes), it focuses on engagement, learning, OKRs and culture. For a detailed comparison see our complete guide to the best talent management platforms or our dedicated articles: vs Cornerstone, vs Bizneo.


What sets us apart from competitors?

1. A holistic, intelligent, experience-led approach. GFoundry goes beyond traditional talent platforms. We blend a holistic strategy with Artificial Intelligence (GFoundry Intelligence, Gi) to create engaging, personalised, micro-learning based digital experiences that increase engagement and accelerate skill development.

2. Employee-centric, AI-powered. Every employee sits at the centre. GFoundry’s AI recommends paths, creates content, and surfaces growth opportunities, while feedback, social, and recognition tools drive participation and community.

3. Smart integration of external content. GFoundry integrates content and data from any source via APIs, direct embeds, or actionable links.

4. Mobile-first with advanced gamification. Missions, badges, points, leaderboards and a rewards marketplace built for daily adoption.

5. An open AI layer (MCP). Manage the platform from Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude via the MCP protocol — a capability few competitors offer.


How do GFoundry's AI Agents and the MCP protocol work?

GFoundry Intelligence (Gi) is the conversational assistant that knows your company: it learns from documents, policies and content you define, answers employees in 26 languages and always cites the source. Around Gi runs a team of 4 specialist AI Agents working 24/7:

Learning Designer (Gi Learn) — generates complete courses from PDFs or briefings: objectives, modules, quizzes and resources, ready to publish in minutes.
Role-Play Coach (Gi Practice) — simulates difficult conversations (feedback, sales, leadership, customer service) with an AI counterpart and evaluates performance in real time.
Data Analyst (Gi Admin) — people analytics in natural language: reviews, IDPs, training, recognition; exports to Excel; personal data never reaches the model.
Talent Strategist (Gi Talent) — reads the organisation’s 9 behavioural archetypes, generates risk alerts (e.g. overload), strategic narratives for the CHRO and coaching scripts per manager.

Additionally, we expose our capabilities via the Model Context Protocol (MCP): manage the platform through Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude — no back-office required. As new LLMs evolve, your ability to manage keeps up, with no need to change platform. Learn more at GFoundry AI Agents.


Which HR processes can I manage with GFoundry?

You can manage many HR processes: recruitment & selection, onboarding, learning & development, performance & potential management, compensation & benefits, employee engagement, work-life balance, diversity & inclusion, health & safety, feedback & recognition, OKR management, climate studies, marketing programs, and more. Discover the modules.


At which talent-lifecycle stages can GFoundry help?

GFoundry supports attraction, recruiting, pre-boarding and onboarding, development, performance management, retention and offboarding.


What company size is GFoundry suited for?

GFoundry is used primarily by mid-sized and large companies, typically from a few hundred employees upwards, with multiple teams, geographies or business units. Enterprise plans (Plus and Premium) start at 250 users. For smaller companies, the free BASE self-service plan lets you get started immediately. We have success stories in retail, services, industry, technology, financial and energy sectors. See our case studies.


I noticed the platform has many modules. Can I start with a few and add more later?

Absolutely. Most customers activate modules according to their needs and the strategy defined for each 12-month cycle.


How long does implementation take?

A first focused go-live (for example, onboarding or a training academy) usually takes a few weeks, supported by a certified GFoundry partner. Full transformation programmes (continuous gamification, OKRs, feedback and learning) run in waves over 12 months. Get inspired by our 12-Month Gamification Wave Logic strategy.


Can I buy a single module?

No. Our offer includes three subscription plans, each with a specific set of modules and features. Learn more here.


Do you have a self-service plan?

Yes — our free BASE plan is self-service. You can create an account right now using this link.


In GFoundry's licensing model, can I license users one by one? Is there a minimum?

In the BASE (self-service) plan you can license users individually. Up to 5 users, this plan is 100% free. In PLUS and PREMIUM, the minimum is 250 users (the first tier). Additional users are licensed in blocks of 250 — the more you license, the higher the discount. See our plans.


Is GFoundry GDPR compliant and where is the data hosted?

Yes. All data is processed and stored within the European Union, in compliance with the GDPR. The AI layer runs on isolated instances per client, with no training on data from other organisations. External LLM connections (in the MCP approach) only use enterprise endpoints that do not retain or train on your data. Personal data is anonymised before any AI processing.


Can GFoundry integrate with my existing platforms?

Yes. We integrate at multiple layers with various technologies via our APIs (SAML, Active Directory, LDAP, SSO). Additionally, the MCP protocol lets LLMs like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT or Claude operate the platform without back-office access. Explore available integrations.


Does GFoundry support multiple languages and multiple companies/brands?

Yes. It supports 26 languages and a multi-container architecture — several business units, each with its own branding, on the same platform, consolidating data for the parent organisation. Ideal for multinationals or holdings with multiple brands.


Do you work with implementation partners?

Yes. Our partners support strategy, implementation, content, and ongoing success. GFoundry license fees already include a share allocated to partner services. Learn more.


Can I pay GFoundry licenses monthly?

It depends. In the BASE self-service plan: yes. In PLUS and PREMIUM: licensing follows a 12-month cycle. Learn more.


Does GFoundry support single sign-on?

Yes — SAML, Active Directory, LDAP, Google, LinkedIn. Alongside SSO, we can also enable standard registration by email or employee number.


What ROI can I expect from a GFoundry implementation?

Customers report measurable impact in turnover reduction, engagement increase (eNPS), faster post-onboarding productivity and learning programme adoption.
