The criteria for the report included use cases, conversation design, conversation delivery, conversation agents, orchestration, human-machine collaboration, performance insights, product vision, roadmap, and market approach. For these criteria, vendors were expected to meet or exceed industry benchmarks to offer comprehensive and purpose-built conversational solutions that anticipate and address the needs of B2B organizations interacting with diverse and empowered audiences throughout the customer lifecycle.

Ada recently unveiled several key updates to its platform. At Ada Interact, the company’s flagship customer event, Ada announced it was launching automated voice interactions, enabling CX leaders to design and deliver seamless AI-powered phone support from the same no-code builder customers are already using to build chat and messaging experiences. With these new capabilities, brands could enable customers to begin an interaction on voice, get detailed information via SMS, and then receive the call transcript via email.

Meanwhile, Ada’s Smart Search tool became available to all brands using Salesforce Knowledge, with an added feature to support multilingual articles. With these and additional updates to legacy features, brands are better empowered to deliver value immediately, ensuring a seamless experience for customers, no matter their preferred language of interaction. , Ada’s industry-leading machine learning capabilities were further boosted  with improvements to Training Suggestions, which significantly speeds up time-to-value by reducing the time and effort needed to train and maintain an AI platform.
