4 offeringsAnalyze
Analyze is a CX intelligence and root cause analysis platform that evaluates every customer interaction to identify what is driving customer experience friction and which behaviors actually improve outcomes. It scores full customer journeys, runs QA across all interactions, automatically builds personalized coaching and training plans for supervisors to deliver, and tracks ROI and post-coaching improvement. It evaluates both human associate and AI agent interactions against a single shared performance standard.
Evolve
Evolve is an AI conversation automation platform that deploys AI agents to handle high-volume inbound and outbound customer conversations across voice and webchat channels with a hybrid LLM and code-driven architecture. It provides a self-service studio for non-technical teams to author, test, and optimize agents, with deterministic code-enforced guardrails for compliance-sensitive steps alongside conversational flexibility elsewhere. When the AI agent cannot resolve a contact, it escalates to a human associate with full conversation context intact, and escalated calls can automatically become training scenarios in Perform.
Evolve for Financial Services
Evolve for Financial Services is a purpose-built conversation automation product for financial institutions that automates high-volume customer service conversations including card servicing, fraud alerts and disputes, payments and account servicing, and proactive outbound communications. It combines conversational AI flexibility with deterministic code-enforced controls for identity verification, regulatory disclosures, and financial rules specific to banking and financial services environments. The product includes a self-service authoring studio, built-in outbound dialer, CCaaS and CRM integrations, and connects with Perform and Analyze to share performance standards across human and AI frontline teams.
Perform
Perform is an AI-powered frontline training and coaching platform that builds associate skills through personalized simulation-based practice tied to KPIs, covering voice, chat, email, back-office, AI avatar, and software simulations. It includes automated coaching plans, an AI tutor studio, agentic authoring tools that can generate simulations in under a minute from policy documents, and KPI and skill dashboards for both employees and managers. The product serves both new hires and tenured associates and integrates with Teams, Slack, and LMS systems via xAPI.
