The rise of AI Agent Platforms marks a significant shift in the contact center landscape.
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Aragon Research today announced the release of its third annual Aragon Research Globe™ for AI Agent Platforms in the Intelligent Contact Center (ICC), 2025.
The report highlights the convergence of generative AI and conversational AI, resulting in the rise of AI Agent Platforms. These platforms leverage large language models (LLMs) to deliver more intelligent, human-like interactions in customer service settings.
Key takeaways from the report include:
- AI Agent Platforms are here to stay. These low-code platforms are transforming the contact center, enabling faster development and deployment of sophisticated virtual agents.
- Agent Assist is a must-have. Organizations should prioritize deploying agent-assist offerings to empower human agents with AI capabilities.
- Start with configurable Virtual Agents. Before building custom virtual agents, leverage pre-configured options to accelerate time-to-value.
"The rise of AI Agent Platforms marks a significant shift in the contact center landscape," said Jim Lundy, Aragon Research CEO and Founder. "These platforms are enabling organizations to deliver superior customer service, improve efficiency, and reduce costs."
The report emphasizes the importance of selecting and implementing Agent Platform offerings based on desired business outcomes, rather than solely focusing on the technology itself.
