Keep Cognigy, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cognigy you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 76 of the 101 other AI agents grade higher.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types.
- It plugs into other products, Avaya, AWS and Genesys among them.
What this rests on. Cognigy’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
