Coveo
Application
Case creation and deflection for support sites: machine-learning models narrow the case classification choices and recommend articles while the customer types, so cases arrive complete and many are never submitted.
Conversational search for websites, service portals and workplace search: users ask in natural language and follow up, and Coveo's Search Agent reasons through each question and answers from the customer's approved content, asking or escalating when it is unsure.
Question-answering model that shows a rich snippet from the best matching content directly on a search results page, so customers and support agents get a direct, non-generated answer without opening articles.
Platform
Enterprise relevance platform with Generative Answering and Agentic AI & Retrieval for grounded answers across support, websites, workplace and commerce.
