Cognigy.AI’s low-code platform is the ideal solution. We don't need extensive programming knowledge to operate and to further develop the technology. The implementation was fast, allowing us to focus on an elaborate phone bot that would be available quickly for our customers.

A lot of the partners that started using Sanas on the program have gotten better in terms of NPS, and we have seen a huge drop in complaints as it relates to accent or agents being misunderstood. That goes for all of the regions we support: the Philippines, Cairo and India.

Only tools of the same or a competing category, from another vendor, count. They are ranked by their public customers at every proof level, job posts included; a tie goes to the stronger proofs (more confirmed, then more observed). Each tool shows its mix: confirmed (a case study, a press release), observed (the vendor’s customer page), signal (a job post, the weakest proof). Shared customers are shown for information and never set the order. Tools of other categories that the same companies use are listed apart, as tools used with Zuma. usedby does not publish departures, so no company is shown switching from Zuma to another tool.
