Genesys has been named the winner of “Best Use of AI in Customer Service” at the 2025 A.I. Awards, hosted by The Cloud Awards. This award recognizes “exemplary applications of AI technologies in enhancing customer service experiences and optimizing support processes.” 

For Genesys, this award reinforces our commitment to helping organizations deliver exceptional experiences powered by a world-class experience orchestration platform and advanced, responsible AI that adapts, learns and drives results across the enterprise. The Genesys Cloud™ platform, which now has 2 million users, is the AI-Powered Experience Orchestration platform that allows companies all over the world to deliver personalized and empathetic experiences at scale.  

Building the Future with Agentic AI 

We believe CX needs to be reimagined, because the old tools were built for a different era. The industry moves toward more autonomous, connected and adaptive experiences. And Genesys is leading the shift into the agentic AI era.  

Agentic AI represents a new generation of intelligence that can perceive context, understand goals, reason through data, and take guided action to deliver meaningful outcomes. With innovations like Genesys Cloud™ AI Studio and AI Guides, organizations can design AI systems that act independently within governance parameters and continuously learn to improve performance.  

This evolution allows businesses to move from simple automation to intelligent orchestration — seamlessly connecting people, data and systems across every channel, persona and workflow. To stay competitive in the experience economy, organizations must move beyond applications to truly orchestrated experiences.

Agentic AI makes this possible by coordinating multiple AI and human agents that perceive live context, reason through intent and according to policy, and act toward defined goals while continuously learning. The AI technology enables businesses to evolve from automating tasks to achieving outcomes, ensuring every action — whether by a virtual agent, employee or workflow — aligns seamlessly with customer needs and organizational objectives.

The result: a more adaptive, efficient and human-centered approach to CX that can drive loyalty, engagement and lasting business value.

“This award affirms our vision for redefining what’s possible with AI in customer and employee experiences,” said Rahul Garg, VP of Product for AI at Genesys. “It reflects how Genesys is pioneering a new era of agentic AI where intelligent systems can perceive context; understand goals; reason through data and take safe, guided action to deliver outcomes. This will help every organization, no matter their size or industry, complete meaningful work and enable more adaptive, autonomous and human-centered experiences than ever before.”

What Sets Genesys Cloud AI Apart

Unlike one-size-fits-all tools or disconnected AI add-ons, Genesys Cloud AI is embedded natively within the platform, helping ensure that every interaction — whether supported by agents or fully automated by AI — benefits from real-time data, contextual understanding and predictive intelligence. Built specifically for customer and employee experiences, Genesys Cloud AI connects data, channels and models across the enterprise to orchestrate smarter, more efficient outcomes that build customer loyalty.  

Its secure and compliant foundation protects interactions, while its composable design makes it easy to innovate responsibly and scale rapidly. Together, these capabilities can empower organizations to achieve faster time to value, reduce operational complexity and deliver more meaningful results — from lower cost per outcome to higher customer satisfaction and loyalty.
