Cognigy
Application
The build surface where Cognigy's AI agents are designed, configured and released.
Assists human agents with contextual information, next-best-action suggestions and real-time guidance during customer interactions.
Analytics over conversations across every channel, for measuring how the agents are actually performing.
Turns a company's own documents into answers its agents can give, rather than scripted replies.
The human-side workspace: an omnichannel console where staff pick up conversations the AI agents hand over.
Carries Cognigy's agents onto the phone channel with low-latency, lifelike speech.
Adds visual, app-like steps inside a voice or chat conversation, so a caller can complete a form mid-call.
Zendesk
Application
Contact-centre add-on on the Zendesk Resolution Platform that puts voice, digital and self-service in one agent workspace; its Voice AI agents understand caller intent, apply the company's policies and resolve calls end to end, while Voice Copilot takes notes, summarises and reads sentiment in real time for human agents.
An AI assistant add-on for Zendesk that gives human support agents in-workspace guidance, auto-assist suggestions and intelligent triage, and gives admins proactive workflow recommendations.
AI-assisted knowledge-base building and maintenance: unifies service and third-party content, generates ready-to-use articles, and grounds AI/human agents with a single knowledge foundation.
An AI-powered support QA add-on that auto-scores human and AI agent conversations via AutoQA, flags high-risk interactions with Spotlight, and drives targeted coaching.
Forecasting and scheduling add-on for Zendesk support teams: it analyses a team's historical ticket data to predict how many agents a day, month or season will need, builds schedules down to the minute, and tracks what agents are working on in real time.
