Our take
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly common part of how customer service works. This trend has accelerated in recent years, with many other services going virtual and digital.
NiCE Cognigy is at the forefront of this trend, delivering a set of low-code tools to help enterprises integrate more AI into their customer service processes. As AI has developed, so has the company's suite, and it has launched new features such as AI agents for sales and marketing interactions.
Formed from the acquisition of Cognigy by NiCE, the company has raised substantial funding over the years to accelerate its product development and support its geographic expansion. With the artificial intelligence boom far from over, NiCE Cognigy has consistently been recognised as a leader in agentic AI, with breakthrough products expected to be released over the next few years.
