The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/ai-agents ## Keep it, 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: 115 of the 178 other AI agents grade higher. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: A chat box on your site that reaches you the moment a customer types. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Avaya, AWS and Genesys among them.
