What's New in Motivosity: July 2026

Published on
July 8, 2026

Most HR teams don't need more AI and more tools. They need less busywork and more time with their people. That's the problem Appreciation Intelligence™ solves.

Available to everyone today, it's built to amplify the human connection Motivosity has always been about, not replace it. Recognition gets coached in the moment, reporting stops being a manual project, and the admin work that eats your week starts running itself.

We've delivered new capabilities that help you:

  • Create alignment with your executive team, and prove program ROI without building a manual report
  • Get hours back by automating the administrative work behind your programs
  • Build real belonging across your org by making every piece of recognition more specific, personal, and felt

Every update ladders back to one goal:

Amplifying the human connection Motivosity is built on, and automating everything else around it.

Let's dive in!

Appreciation Coach

Coach your employees in real-time and make recognition more meaningful.

Module: Motivosity Platform

Most recognition tools do nothing to help someone write a better note, or they write the note for them. Neither actually helps. Motivosity's Appreciation Coach grades recognition as someone writes it and shows them how to make it land better: more specific, more personal, less generic.

→ Coach for increased impact, not just increased activity

A high volume of recognition doesn't mean much if none of it is meaningful. The Coach nudges people toward detail (what someone actually did and why it mattered), so appreciation reads like it was written for one person, not copied from the last one.

→ Keep the words human

The Coach grades and suggests. It doesn't write the note itself. The recognition itself still comes from a human, giving your team opportunities to connect on a deeper level and build relationships with the assistance of AI.

Insights AI

Ask your data questions and get high-impact, actionable insights in real time.

Module: Motivosity Platform

Leaders and admins shouldn't need an analyst or weeks of gathering reports to answer questions about their own programs. Insights AI is your assistant for exactly that: ask in plain language and get a grounded answer, pulled from real Motivosity data, right when you need it.

→ Ask the questions you'd ask a person

"Which departments have the lowest recognition frequency this quarter?" "How has manager participation changed since we launched the new program?" Ask your questions in plain-language and get an answer that is easy to understand and make decisions off of, not a dashboard to dig through.

→ Build the reports nobody has time to pull—in seconds

No export, no spreadsheet, no waiting on someone else's queue. The answer shows up with relevant charting and referenced reports linked, so you can dig further if you need to.

Motivosity Agents

Automate busywork so you have the time to focus on the work only a human can do.

An assistant tells you what's happening. An agent does something about it. Once you give a Motivosity Agent permission and direction, it can set up a program, create a complex report, and more—all inside the same permission scopes you already have.

→ Create recognition programs in seconds

Give your agent direction around the kind of program you want to create, and a few parameters like when it should be given and what reward should be tied to it. Then, watch the Motivosity Agent do the heavy-lifting for you.

→ Build complex reports custom to your needs

Leverage your agent to create fully custom, in-depth reports and exportable CSVs to fit your needs and the requests of your leadership team.

MCP Connector

Bring your culture data into the AI tools you already use.

Module: Motivosity Platform

The Motivosity MCP gives tools like Claude and ChatGPT access to real, live Motivosity data instead of a guess, scoped to whatever permissions the user already has.

→ Ask Claude or ChatGPT a real question about your program

Before an MCP, getting AI to answer a question about your recognition data meant exporting it, pasting it in, and hoping for the best. Now the answer comes from your actual, up-to-date numbers, with the ability to create dashboards, charts, and more.

Create a more human employee experience with Motivosity.

With every release, our goal stays the same: help your people feel more connected, more appreciated, and more supported, while making your job easier.

Appreciation Intelligence™ is still in beta, which means it's still evolving. Turn it on, use it, and tell us what's actually useful. That feedback shapes what ships next.

And, at the end of the day: keep Human Resources, human.
