Decagon
AI agent
Builds and runs customer-support agents that resolve enquiries over chat, email and voice.
Decagon's chat channel — an AI agent that handles live customer conversations in a web or in-app chat surface.
Decagon's email channel — agents that read and answer customer email threads rather than routing them to a queue.
Decagon's voice channel — an AI agent that answers customer phone calls in place of a hold queue.
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.
PolyAI
AI agent
Voice and chat dialog agents that handle an enterprise's customer calls and messages end to end, built and optimised on PolyAI's Wren and Dialog Studio tooling.
Natural-language agent inside PolyAI's Dialog Studio that builds a customer-service agent's flows and prompts from a description, writes and runs simulation tests, answers questions over real call transcripts and drafts fixes when live calls fail.
Agent platform
Self-serve platform for building, testing and deploying voice and chat customer-service agents on PolyAI's own models, through a visual studio, a Python ADK and CLI, REST APIs and hosted MCP servers.
No counterpart
Decagon sells these in a stack layer with no product recorded for PolyAI yet — nothing on the other side to compare them against.
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.
