Cohere
Application
An enterprise search and discovery system over a company's own scattered data, sold as a configured end-to-end product rather than as a raw retrieval API.
Workplace assistant that runs agents over a company's internal documents and tools, deployable in the customer's own environment.
Workflow-orchestration layer inside Cohere North that lets employees describe a goal in plain language and turns it into a coordinated, multi-model, multi-step automation with approval checkpoints and usage tracking.
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.
