Contact center as a service (CCaaS) and Customer Experience Automation (CXA).
See how CCaaS and CXA come together as one platform. CCaaS for people, CXA for AI.
Talkdesk brings together two workforces on one platform. CCaaS gives people what they need to manage customer interactions, responding faster and more efficiently. CXA gives AI agents what they need to resolve them end to end.
CXA combines AI agents, multi-agent orchestration, and real-time data to work, automating customer journeys and business processes across the front and back office, resolving issues and completing tasks at scale.
This is a new workforce model, where AI agents work alongside people as integral team members.
