These enhancements provide organizations enterprise-ready AI solutions to innovate faster, streamline processes, and better connect with customers.
This release includes new contextual AI features, including Pega GenAI™ Coach, the latest addition to the Pega GenAI™ set of capabilities. Announced separately today, Pega GenAI Coach serves as a real-time mentor by analyzing employee workflows and providing actionable insights to optimize productivity. Complementing this is Pega GenAI™ Knowledge Buddy, which was previewed earlier this year and is now available to help users synthesize knowledge scattered across content libraries to quickly answer employee and customer inquiries.
Also available now are two new accelerator bundles – Pega GenAI™ Analyze and Pega GenAI™ Automate – which operate in Pega Platform, Pega Customer Service, and Pega Sales Automation to surface and summarize insights about cases, data, meetings, and conversations:
- Pega GenAI Automate lets users offload time-consuming activities like drafting emails and creating follow-up actions based on recent interactions. It improves communications by recommending responses for agents engaging with customers on digital channels and crafts follow-up emails for salespeople to better engage customers and prospects.
- Pega GenAI Analyze helps users understand and synthesize information by summarizing and extracting insights around cases, data, meetings, and conversations. Users can interact with their data through natural language processing. This further aids with tasks such as meeting prep by creating on-demand briefing materials, providing contextual talking points, and summarizing customer conversations for faster and better follow up.
Additional capabilities help enterprises unlock tangible results across their business, including:
- New connector providing real-time customer context: Integration with Tealium AudienceStream helps marketers apply identity matching capabilities to merge customer profiles (including anonymous and known data) and better predict behavior.
- Calculate ROI for high-value audiences: Define key customer segments in Pega Customer Decision Hub to monitor segment performance in real time, making it easier to track success and make adjustments.
- Curate marketing knowledge and best practices: New Pega GenAI capabilities provide faster and easier conversational access to process documentation, best practices, and reporting.
