Cisco

AI agent

Webex AI AgentAI agent

Autonomous customer-service AI agent that handles inquiries conversationally across voice, SMS, email, chat and messaging apps and escalates to a human agent with context when it cannot resolve.

Toloka

AI agent

TendemAI agent

A hybrid AI-plus-human agent that takes a delegated task - research, data analysis, copywriting, design or development - has AI do the first pass, then routes it to one of 10,000+ vetted experts for verification and multi-layer QA, returning results in 2-24 hours.

No counterpart

Cisco sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Toloka yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Application

AI Assistant for Webex Contact CenterApplication

AI assistant for contact-centre agents and supervisors that produces call and transfer summaries, live transcription, suggested chat replies, topic analytics, automatic CSAT scoring and agent burnout signals.

Cisco AI CanvasApplication

AgenticOps workspace where teams and AI agents collaborate to investigate, correlate and resolve issues across domains: natural-language querying, multi-step agent workflows, shared real-time visibility, and native Cisco plus third-party tool integration via Cloud Control Studio.

Cisco AI DefenseApplication

End-to-end AI security product that discovers an organisation's AI assets, red-teams models and applications for vulnerabilities, and enforces runtime guardrails against prompt injection and data leakage.

Cisco IQApplication

Agentic support intelligence delivered inside Cisco Support and Professional Services — 'the delivery vehicle for everything Cisco Support and Professional Services knows about your environment, made continuously available before you ask for it' — generally available as SaaS since April 2026 and included with existing support contracts.

Webex AI Workforce Engagement ManagementApplication

AI-native workforce engagement suite for contact centres that forecasts demand and optimises shifts, uses NLP and LLMs to evaluate 100 percent of human and AI agent interactions (AI Quality Management), and runs performance coaching and AI-led onboarding simulations.

Hardware

Cisco AI PODsHardware

Pre-validated modular AI infrastructure bundles that combine Cisco UCS servers, NVIDIA GPUs, Nexus 9000 400G/800G switching and management software into single orderable stacks for AI inferencing, training and fine-tuning.

Cisco AI PODs for CollaborationHardware

Turnkey on-premises AI appliance that runs real-time speech transcription for Cisco collaboration deployments locally, for customers with data-sovereignty requirements that rule out cloud AI services.

Cisco Nexus Hyperfabric AIHardware

Cloud-managed full-stack AI cluster sold as hardware plus software plus service, packaging Cisco 6000 and N9300 series switches on an 800GbE back-end fabric, UCS servers with NVIDIA H200 GPUs and BlueField DPUs, optional VAST storage and NVIDIA AI Enterprise under the Hyperfabric cloud controller.

Cisco Silicon OneHardware

Unified programmable networking-silicon architecture for AI, hyperscale, data-centre, service-provider and enterprise routing/switching, spanning five series (G/P/E/K/A) of chip families.

Toloka sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for Cisco yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.

Platform

Toloka ArenaPlatform

An independent evaluation platform that ranks frontier LLMs on agentic tool-use tasks using private, non-contaminated benchmarks across industry domains, scored on a pass^5 reliability metric, with the underlying RL Gyms and evaluation datasets available to license.

Toloka TrainPlatform

A self-serve service that lowers per-request inference cost through two tools - fine-tuning LoRA adapters on frozen Qwen3 base models to replace a frontier API on a narrow task, and prompt gisting that compresses long instruction prefixes into learned tokens.

Data service

Off-the-shelf DatasetsData service

Toloka's catalogue of ready-made training datasets sold outright — three named at the time of writing (Tau-bench Dataset Extension, University-level Math Reasoning, Multimodal Conversations) — as distinct from the custom data work its Platform sells.

Toloka Physical AIData service

Human-in-the-loop data programs -- demonstrations, annotation and evaluation -- for training robotics and physical AI systems.

Toloka PlatformData service

A self-serve platform where an AI agent turns a described data goal into a full human-annotation pipeline - RLHF and preference data, data collection, instruction tuning, model evaluation, synthetic-data validation and content-moderation QA - with LLM-based quality checks on the output.
