Our take
Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly common part of how customer service works — a trend that has been accelerated in recent years as so many other services went virtual and digital.
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.
The company has raised substantial funding across the years to accelerate this product development, as well as support its geographic expansion. With the artificial intelligence boom far from over, the future looks bright for Cognigy.
