Key Differentiators: Flexibility, Control, and Security
Based on Cognigy’s expertise gleaned through handling billions of transactions for enterprise customers, Cognigy’s Agentic AI solution offers dynamic flexibility and decision-making that outperforms any solution currently on the market. Key capabilities include:

- Real-time decision-making: Agentic AI agents actively assess each situation, making on-the-fly decisions to ensure the most effective response, reducing the need for human intervention in routine queries.
- Seamless tool integration: Agents autonomously select and access a range of tools, such as APIs and customer data repositories, for accurate, efficient resolutions.
- Collaborative AI workforce: By working alongside human agents, Agentic AI enables collaboration with other AI Agents and delivers a streamlined handover when escalation is required, creating a truly unified customer service ecosystem.
Furthermore, Agentic AI is engineered with enterprise-grade data security and compliance, meeting standards like GDPR and HIPAA. With pre-integrated support for platforms such as Avaya, Genesys, and NICE, the solution fits seamlessly into any contact center’s infrastructure.
Impacting the Future of Contact Centers
Agentic AI is not only reducing operational costs but also expanding the scope of what AI in customer service can achieve. It frees human agents to focus on high-value tasks by automating routine inquiries, enhancing the speed and quality of service. Ultimately, this ensures enterprises can scale customer support without sacrificing quality, a must in today’s experience-driven economy.
“With agentic AI, the next phase of AI is just beginning,” said Sheila McGee-Smith, President & Principal Analyst, McGee-Smith Analytics, LLC. “Cognigy led the industry with its generative AI integration in 2023 and this latest advancement, the Cognigy Agentic AI solution, makes the use of AI agents in the contact center a reality across a wide range of use cases.”
Agentic AI Pilot Program
Cognigy has completed a number of Agentic AI pilot programs, one of which was for a large European bank to place outbound calls. The pilot program was launched in 6 weeks from concept to deployment and delivered immediate results – 80% of accepted calls were qualified by the AI Agent and then passed to a human agent to complete the transaction, resulting in higher conversion rates and less time wasted.
