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.

AI agents that act across the applications Zapier already connects, built and debugged from a prompt with Zapier Copilot.
