SM
Voice Engineer at Softtek
Enables seamless integration with leading customer support platforms and offers reliable and scalable communication solutions
The feature I find best about Amazon Connect, which is currently on trend, is the artificial intelligence. It helps us maintain continuity with the client. For instance, if a client calls for a ticket and calls again after three days, we can keep the same ticket or request to provide follow-up with the same agent or person. That is a valuable feature. Another important capability I discovered is that, from a technical perspective, you can select the caller ID in such a way that if one of your direct numbers fails, you can select another one to proceed with the calls. The system is not dependent on one calling number.

Building custom conversational agents has transformed how my team delivers business workflows
Regarding how Cognigy.AI Platform can be improved, overall it looks good. However, some deep documentation with different use cases would be beneficial. The current documentation is plain. As an implementation engineer, if I want to understand customer requirements and how they should be implemented, there is no systematic process. Documentation on how to collect and convert customer requirements into workflow, and then how to implement the same in Cognigy.AI Platform, would be really helpful. Those pieces of information will help those who are newly understanding the platform and will speed up the overall process. Regarding needed improvements, the translator service currently supports only three providers: Microsoft, DeepL, and Lex. However, I need to add some additional services, but I do not see any customization as part of the translation service if I want to add it from my side. Those customizations would really help to improve the platform by bringing your own translator instead of using the out-of-the-box translator service. If customization were provided in those areas, it would be really helpful for us.
