Genesys
Application
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 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.
Selects and analyzes customer interactions for quality assurance using AI.
Forecasts staffing needs up to two years ahead using 25+ machine-learning models and an AI-powered Activity Planner for schedule optimization.
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.
AI agent
Genesys Cloud Agentic Virtual Agent is an autonomous AI agent that reasons through a customer's goal, plans actions and executes multi-step workflows across systems to resolve requests end to end without human intervention.
Agent platform
Genesys Cloud AI Studio is a centralized, low-code hub for building, configuring, managing and governing AI-powered experiences such as virtual agents and copilots.
Platform
Contact-centre platform where AI usage is metered separately from seats: always-on virtual agents, copilots in the agent workspace, and an AI Studio for building and governing agents — with AI Experience tokens granted per organisation and per agent.
Data service
Genesys Cloud Knowledge Fabric unifies enterprise knowledge from multiple sources into an adaptive layer that powers AI agents with contextual search and generative-AI answers carrying source citations.
Microsoft
Application
Integrated development environment for building conversational bots, integrating with Microsoft Copilot Studio for low-code bot building.
AI assistant embedded in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Teams that grounds its answers in a customer's own business data and ships with pre-built agents.
Microsoft's assistant for chat, search and work inside Windows and the Microsoft 365 apps.
Security-operations assistant that summarises threat signals and helps analysts detect, investigate and respond to incidents in natural language.
AI agent
Agentic feature of Microsoft 365 Copilot that plans and executes multi-step, multi-app tasks end-to-end and returns a finished deliverable rather than a draft.
Agent platform
Low-code platform for building, connecting and publishing custom conversational and autonomous AI agents across Microsoft 365, the web and business channels.
Platform
Azure's platform for building, evaluating and deploying model-based applications and agents.
Data service
Enterprise retrieval service providing hybrid keyword and vector search plus RAG grounding over an organisation's own data, also surfaced inside Microsoft Foundry as Foundry IQ.
