Decagon
Application
A/B-testing suite for AI support agents: structured experiments (tone, logic, flows) against live traffic with control groups, statistical-significance testing and gradual rollout.
Dashboards and natural-language querying ('Ask AI') over support data: CSAT/deflection performance tracking, heatmaps, customer-journey visualization and knowledge-base performance.
Analyzes support conversations to detect gaps in a company's help center and auto-generates draft articles, ranked by impact, with monthly updates.
Integrated testing suite (internally called 'Simulations') that validates AI-agent behavior across channels before production deployment.
Always-on monitoring and QA for AI and human agent interactions against custom quality criteria.
Agent platform
Decagon's authoring layer for the rules an AI support agent follows, so non-engineering teams can build, iterate on and scale agents.
An AI partner built into Decagon that helps teams build and improve support agents — distilling best practices from hundreds of Decagon deployments into guidance for the builder, and auto-tuning the agent via "Duet Autopilot," which improves it with every conversation it handles.
IBM
