Genesys

Application

Conversational IntelligenceApplication

The speech and text analytics layer of Genesys Cloud CX: it transcribes voice and digital interactions, spots topics, scores customer sentiment and agent empathy, and reports how they change over time. It is a capability inside the Genesys Cloud CX tiers rather than a product bought on its own.

Genesys Cloud CopilotApplication

Genesys Cloud Copilot gives contact-centre agents and supervisors real-time AI assistance including auto-summarisation, knowledge retrieval, next-best-action guidance and translation across 70+ languages.

Genesys Cloud Quality AssuranceApplication

Selects and analyzes customer interactions for quality assurance using AI.

Genesys Cloud Workforce ForecastingApplication

Forecasts staffing needs up to two years ahead using 25+ machine-learning models and an AI-powered Activity Planner for schedule optimization.

Predictive EngagementApplication

Watches website visitor behaviour inside Genesys Cloud CX, scores each visitor's likelihood to buy, churn or abandon a cart, and triggers a chat, offer or message when the model says it is worth engaging. Included in the CX 2 tier and above; an add-on on CX 1.
