Yuno, the global payments infrastructure company, on Sunday introduced Payments Concierge, an autonomous AI agent designed to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize a merchant’s payment operations around the clock.

The announcement, made at the HumanX conference, represents a departure from conventional payment dashboards and alert systems. Rather than notifying a payments team that something has gone wrong, Payments Concierge is built to detect problems and act on them in real time — adjusting routing rules, toggling payment providers on or off, and reordering checkout options to favor the method most likely to succeed.

The need for such automation, Yuno says, reflects the compounding costs of inaction. A single card issuer going offline can silently decline thousands of transactions before a team identifies the source. A misconfigured routing rule can quietly erode revenue for weeks. And diagnosing what happened — pulling raw data, running performance analyses, assembling reports — can consume hours of manual work.

Payments Concierge addresses each of those pain points. The tool surfaces interchange and scheme fees at the transaction level, giving merchants a granular view of what each payment actually costs and enabling routing decisions that balance approval rates against expense. Reporting tasks that previously took hours, the company says, can now be completed with a single prompt, whether the output needed is a detailed data breakdown or a board-ready summary.

The agent is accessible through WhatsApp, Telegram, WeChat, and Slack, and all automated actions operate within a merchant’s preconfigured security permissions.

“Payment operations today are mostly reactive, with teams finding out something broke after the revenue is already lost,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, chief executive and co-founder of Yuno. “Payments Concierge catches issues humans can’t see, optimizes costs humans can’t track, and executes changes in real time.”

Yuno’s platform connects more than 1,000 payment methods and fraud tools through a unified API. Its clients include McDonald’s, Uber, GoFundMe, and Rappi.

Ortega is scheduled to speak at HumanX on Monday, leading a roundtable titled “When AI Becomes the Buyer” and joining a panel on building global financial infrastructure.

Starling Bank is rolling out an agentic AI financial assistant, which it says is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom, as the challenger bank moves to put automated money management directly in the hands of its nearly five million customers.

The assistant, called Starling Assistant, responds to voice and natural-language prompts and carries out banking tasks on the customer’s behalf — from setting savings goals and organizing bill payments to offering personalized financial insights and general banking guidance.

The practical scope is specific. A customer planning a holiday could ask the assistant to calculate how much they need to save monthly to reach a target amount by a given date and instruct it to set up automatic transfers to a dedicated savings pot. A customer wanting to organize their finances on payday could ask it to create separate budget categories for groceries, bills, travel and dining out, specifying how much to move into each on a set date each month.

The assistant is built on Starling’s proprietary technology platform using Google Gemini and Google Cloud infrastructure.

Harriet Rees, Starling’s group chief information officer, said the launch represented a new chapter for the bank. “It’s time to embrace a new era of banking, one that’s powered by agentic AI,” she said. “We want to encourage our customers to trust that AI can help them with money management, and we’re excited to be pioneering the use of this technology to help people be good with money.”

Starling has been building toward this capability for some time. It previously launched Spending Intelligence, which allows customers to ask natural language questions about their spending habits, and Scam Intelligence, a tool designed to detect online marketplace fraud.

The Starling announcement lands as AI adoption accelerates across European fintech. Klarna uses generative AI for customer service, while Dutch neobank Bunq launched its own AI assistant in 2024. Danish challenger Lunar has said its AI-powered voice assistant will handle around 75% of customer calls over time. Revolut, meanwhile, is exploring a broader push into the AI agent space, with ambitions to automate functions ranging from customer service to sales.

Contentsquare, a digital analytics platform, announced Monday a set of new capabilities designed to help brands track and understand customer journeys that now begin inside AI assistants and conversational platforms rather than on conventional websites and mobile apps.

The expansion reflects a structural shift in how consumers discover and interact with brands. Journeys that once started with a search engine or a direct website visit increasingly begin inside tools like ChatGPT, where a customer might ask a question, receive a brand recommendation and click through to a website — a sequence that existing analytics infrastructure was not built to capture end-to-end.

“Brands that want to succeed in this agentic era need visibility into every interaction — from conversations and support tickets to social feedback and AI agent behavior,” said Jonathan Cherki, chief executive and founder of Contentsquare. “Teams can finally connect the dots, prioritize what matters most, and act in real time to improve experiences, retention and growth.”

A Configurable AI Agent for Analytics

The centerpiece of the announcement is an updated version of Sense Analyst, Contentsquare’s analytics agent, which has been redesigned to be configurable to each organization’s specific goals and priorities. Rather than reporting metrics on demand, Sense Analyst now proactively identifies improvement opportunities and surfaces insights tied to business impact.

The updated agent includes a customizable dashboard — the company calls it a Newsroom — where AI agents analyze experience data around the clock, detecting issues and flagging growth opportunities. Insights can be delivered directly to users’ email inboxes on a scheduled basis, reducing the need for teams to monitor analytics tools continuously.

Tracking What Happens Inside ChatGPT

As brands begin building applications within AI assistants, Contentsquare is now providing analytics for activity within ChatGPT apps — showing how customers discover brands through prompts, how they interact within those experiences, and how their journeys move between AI assistants and conventional websites.

The capability allows brands to answer questions that were previously unanswerable: which prompts generate conversions, whether customers return through AI assistant channels, and how journeys that begin inside a large language model ultimately resolve. Accor, the hospitality group, is among the early adopters.

“Being a first mover on ChatGPT allows us to redefine digital hospitality,” said Yassine Hachem, senior vice president of e-commerce and customer engagement at Accor. “Partnering with Contentsquare ensures we understand these new AI behaviors from day one.”

LLM Traffic and Conversation Intelligence

Beyond ChatGPT-specific analytics, Contentsquare is also introducing tools to measure LLM-driven traffic more broadly — giving organizations visibility into whether visitors arriving at their websites are human or AI-driven, and how those two types of traffic behave differently in terms of navigation and conversion.

A separate addition, built on Contentsquare’s recent acquisition of Loris, brings conversation intelligence into the platform. The tool captures customer conversations across support tickets, phone calls and in-product chats, enriches them with signals from reviews and social posts, and connects conversational data with digital behavior and business outcomes. The goal is to give brands a unified view of what customers are saying, where they encounter friction and which changes will have the greatest impact on loyalty.

Alexandra Alessi, vice president of brand e-commerce at hair care company Olaplex, said the platform’s AI capabilities had contributed to a 31% improvement in conversion rates and allowed the company to make its redesign process data-driven rather than subjective.

Contentsquare also announced that its experience data is now accessible through the Model Context Protocol, making it available within AI assistants, including Anthropic’s Claude, Cursor and Microsoft Copilot — allowing teams to query analytics data in plain language without switching between systems.

The announcements were made at CX Circle London, the first stop of Contentsquare’s global conference tour.

Auxia, an artificial intelligence platform for customer journey orchestration, said Tuesday it has delivered 100 billion cumulative autonomous decisions on behalf of its enterprise clients — a milestone the company says reflects a broader market shift away from generative AI experiments and toward systems that directly drive revenue.

The platform now processes 400 million decisions each day — selecting content, optimizing send timing and determining next-best actions for individual users across web, app and email — while handling more than 200 petabytes of first-party data annually. At peak, the system handles 15,000 queries per second.

Customer Impact

Auxia pointed to several client outcomes in 2025 to substantiate the milestone. A single enterprise deployment generated $12 million in incremental revenue in its first year on the platform. Across its customer base, the company reported a fivefold increase in click-through rates and an 84% rise in cross-sell lifetime value compared with prior rules-based systems, with most deployments completed within weeks. One customer recorded a 50-fold increase in new sign-ups after replacing a rules-based personalization stack with Auxia’s agent-driven approach.

The company’s client roster now includes Atlassian, Assurant, The Guardian, Comcast, Mercari, MUFG and NTT Docomo, spanning media, software, insurance, mobile and entertainment.

Sandeep Menon, co-founder and chief executive of Auxia, said: “Enterprise leaders are replacing rigid, rules-based marketing stacks with intelligent agents that optimize customer value in real time. One hundred billion decisions is not just a scale milestone — it is proof that agentic AI delivers measurable top-line impact, not just operational efficiency.”

Product Innovation

Auxia released several product updates in 2025. The company launched a new Analyst agent capable of converting complex campaign data into plain-language revenue insights, describing it as giving every marketer access to a dedicated data scientist. It also introduced a unified interface consolidating decisioning, content generation and performance insights into a single view, allowing marketing teams to manage AI-driven campaigns without dedicated technical resources. Overall platform capacity has tripled since early 2025, the company said.

Growth and Momentum

Auxia grew monthly decisions per customer sixfold year over year and reported a net dollar retention rate of 176%, a metric that reflects how much existing customers expand their spending over time. The company quadrupled its headcount over the same period.

Key hires include Rich Anstett as chief revenue officer, who brings 25 years of experience leading go-to-market teams at companies including SmartRecruiters and Culture Amp. The company also added Yoshi Tsugu to oversee its Japan operations, Eric Barbour as vice president of product marketing, product manager Prinka Wadhwa, and engineering leads Nagaraj Hatti and Siddardha Garimella. Auxia now operates offices in Palo Alto, Tokyo and Bangalore.

The company’s recent growth follows a $23.5 million Series A round led by VMG Technology Partners, which funded accelerated product development and enterprise sales expansion.

Indy Guha, general partner at VMG Technology Partners, said: “CMOs can finally achieve excellence in customer lifetime value. Auxia’s ability to scale autonomous, one-to-one decisioning across billions of customer interactions is exactly the kind of capability shift we backed them to deliver.”

Scott Young’s colleagues at Sabio Group could have held a memorial for him. Instead, they climbed mountains.

Over the past year, staff from across the AI-powered customer experience firm have raised thousands of pounds through a series of fundraising activities — mountain climbs, step challenges, and health-focused events — to fund defibrillators, CPR training, and a lasting commitment to heart health in Scott’s name.

The results are already tangible. CPR and AED training has been delivered to staff across the group. A new defibrillator has been purchased and installed at Sabio’s Glasgow office. Further installations are planned at sites across the business, including the company’s London headquarters.

But the initiative reaches beyond the workplace. The funds will also deliver a new defibrillator to Scott’s hometown of Howwood in Renfrewshire and pay for relocating an existing one, moving it from inside the local church to an external, publicly accessible position available to the entire community around the clock.

A Year of Showing Up

The fundraising campaign, driven entirely by Scott’s friends and colleagues following his sudden death in 2024, was designed from the start to reflect his memory through action rather than commemoration. Every activity was deliberately health-focused — a quiet statement about what the initiative was really for.

The centerpiece was Steps for Scott, a month-long step-count challenge that drew participation from staff across every Sabio region. Alongside it, teams took on some of the UK’s most demanding terrain, including Ben Nevis and Snowdon.

Andy Roberts, Sabio’s chief executive, was clear about what the response represented. “What our people have achieved over the past year is a remarkable example of deep care in action,” he said. “Colleagues from every corner of the business — across every region — came together to do something meaningful. This isn’t a one-off gesture. It’s a commitment to looking after one another and to ensuring that Scott’s legacy has a lasting, life-saving impact.”

Broader Than One Loss

The defibrillator initiative sits alongside Sabio’s existing support for heart health causes, including fundraising efforts by Morgan McRae — son of Chief Revenue Officer Ioan McRae — in aid of heart health charities.

Taken together, they reflect something harder to manufacture than a corporate wellness policy: a culture where colleagues look after one another, and where loss, when it comes, is met with something more than silence.

Scott Young’s name will be on defibrillators in a Glasgow office, a London headquarters, and a village in Renfrewshire. The people who put them there did it in a year, on their own initiative, because they wanted to. That’s the legacy.

There’s a moment in every enterprise software cycle when the question stops being “does this work?” and starts being “which vendor do we trust?” Quiq, the enterprise AI agent platform, is betting it has reached that moment — and it’s hired accordingly.

The company has appointed Jen Grant as Chief Marketing Officer, a hire that reflects more on building awareness than on winning a market that is rapidly consolidating around a handful of credible platforms. Grant brings executive experience across CEO, COO, and CMO roles at companies including Box, Elastic, Looker, Dialpad, and Google.

The Shift From Experiment to Production

The backdrop to the hire is a genuine inflection in how enterprises are approaching AI agents. The experimentation phase — pilots, proofs of concept, carefully scoped demos — is giving way to something with higher stakes: live, customer-facing deployments at scale, where failures are visible, consequences are real, and the tolerance for unreliability is close to zero.

Quiq’s AI agents are already running in production for global brands including Spirit Airlines, Roku, and Panasonic — handling high volumes of customer interactions in environments where accuracy, compliance, and brand governance are non-negotiable.

“We evaluated over 30 different vendors,” said Matt Feinstein, Director of Product Management at Roku. “Many presented generic solutions and demos. Quiq showed us they could address our needs — and they have.”

That kind of reference is what separates a platform claim from a market position. And the market position is what Grant is being hired to build.

What the CMO Role Actually Signals

“Most companies are no longer asking whether AI agents work — they’re asking which platforms they can trust in front of customers,” Grant said. “This is the phase where execution and clarity matter more than promise. Quiq is already running AI agents in production at massive scale, and my role is to help the market understand what’s real, what’s different, and how to deploy AI responsibly.”

Mike Myer, Quiq’s chief executive, was direct about the sequencing. “Quiq has moved past experimentation and into real, scaled AI agent deployments, and that shift requires a different kind of leadership,” he said. “Jen is joining because the technology is already proven in production environments.”

That framing — CMO as market-definition hire rather than demand-generation hire — is telling. In maturing enterprise categories, the companies that win are rarely the ones with the best product at the moment of consolidation. They’re the ones with the clearest story about why their approach is the right one.

The Trust Problem at the Center of It All

The practical challenge Grant is walking into is one that every enterprise AI vendor is grappling with: hallucination risk. When AI agents are operating in customer-facing environments on behalf of regulated industries or brand-sensitive companies, a single confident wrong answer can cause real damage.

Quiq’s platform includes built-in verification and control mechanisms designed to keep agent responses grounded in trusted data — a capability that has become table stakes for any serious enterprise deployment, but one where implementation quality varies significantly across vendors.

Grant’s job, in part, is to make that distinction legible to buyers who are increasingly sophisticated about what questions to ask, but still navigating a market where vendor claims and vendor reality don’t always align.

The enterprise AI agent category is real, it is growing, and it is beginning to sort itself into tiers. Quiq is making a clear statement about which tier it intends to occupy.

Notion on Tuesday introduced Custom Agents, a new class of AI assistants embedded directly into its collaborative workspace, designed to automate recurring workflows without human intervention.

The feature, first previewed at the company’s “Make With Notion” conference last September, is now available in public beta to customers on Business and Enterprise plans.

Custom Agents are built to handle repetitive tasks autonomously. Users describe a workflow once, set a trigger or schedule, and the agent executes the work — whether the user is online or not. The agents operate within Notion and can interact with tools such as Slack, email and calendar systems, drawing on an organization’s existing knowledge base for context.

From Q&A to Task Routing

Notion outlined several early use cases:

• Automated Q&A: Agents respond to recurring questions using information stored in Notion and connected tools.
• Task triage and routing: Incoming requests are captured, prioritized and assigned automatically.
• Recurring reports: Agents gather updates, summarize findings and generate scheduled reports.

Agents can be created conversationally through Notion AI or built from scratch. Once configured, they become shared team resources.

Built for Enterprise Controls

Custom Agents include audit logs that record every trigger and action, offering transparency into how workflows are executed. Permissions mirror existing Notion page-level controls, ensuring agents can only access and modify content within assigned boundaries. Because they operate on Notion’s collaboration layer, changes are reversible.

Notion said it does not train its AI models on customer data, and Enterprise plans offer zero data retention.

Early adopters include Ramp, Vercel and Remote.

“Our Product Question Agent answers dozens of nuanced questions a day with a high success rate,” said Ben Levick, head of operations and internal AI at Ramp.

James Lawley, manager of IT operations at Remote, said the company reduced help desk workload by 20 hours per week, with agents resolving more than a quarter of tickets autonomously while maintaining synchronization between Slack and Notion.

Andrew McCarthy, general manager for ANZ, Southeast Asia and India at Notion, described the launch as a response to modern workplace friction. “Time is the real bottleneck inside modern organizations,” he said. “Custom Agents remove busywork so teams can operate at a new level of ambition.”

Usage-Based Pricing

Custom Agents will operate on a credit-based model, available as an add-on to Business and Enterprise subscriptions. Existing seat pricing remains unchanged, and other AI features — including Notion Agent, AI Meeting Notes and Enterprise Search — remain included in those plans.

The feature will be free during its two-month public beta. Beginning May 4, customers can purchase Notion credits as needed. Administrators will receive notifications as they approach credit limits, and agents will pause automatically when credits are exhausted to prevent unexpected charges. Admins can also control who creates agents and disable them at any time.

As AI shifts from assistive tools to autonomous systems, Notion is positioning Custom Agents as digital coworkers — persistent, auditable and always on.

Amplitude Inc. is betting that in an era of AI-assisted software development, the real bottleneck is no longer writing code — it is understanding what to build next.

On Tuesday, the San Francisco–based company introduced a suite of autonomous AI agents designed to continuously analyze product usage, surface insights and recommend actions in real time. The announcement positions Amplitude at the center of what it calls the next era of “agentic” analytics — where AI monitors products around the clock while teams focus on execution.

The timing is deliberate. AI coding assistants from companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI and emerging developer tools have accelerated the pace of software releases. But as product teams ship features faster than they can evaluate their impact, the feedback loop has strained.

“We’re entering a new era of analytics—one where AI can monitor your product around the clock and free up your team to focus on improving the experience,” said Spenser Skates, Amplitude’s co-founder and chief executive. “Today, we’re launching the first fully autonomous analytics agent.”

From Questions to Action

At the center of the launch is a “Global Agent” capable of answering complex product questions in plain language. The system analyzes data across funnels, experiments and customer journeys, builds dashboards, identifies root causes and recommends next steps — and can execute actions directly within Amplitude.

Four specialized agents complement the Global Agent:

• Dashboard Monitoring Agent detects significant metric shifts within hours and delivers insights via Slack or email.
• Session Replay Agent reviews user sessions at scale, identifies friction and estimates revenue impact.
• Web Experimentation Agent designs and evaluates experiments while keeping humans in the loop.
• AI Feedback Agent converts unstructured survey and support data into behavioral insights tied to product usage.

Unlike generative AI tools that simply query a data warehouse, Amplitude said its agents operate within a behavioral analytics system built specifically for product data, enabling contextual understanding rather than isolated queries.

Analytics Inside the Workflow

Amplitude also announced updates that integrate behavioral data into tools where teams already work, including GitHub, Figma, Notion and developer environments. Engineers can validate and measure feature impact within coding workflows, while product and design teams can incorporate analytics directly into collaboration tools.

Early customers report gains in speed and self-serve capabilities. Executives at NTT DOCOMO said the platform helped scale analytics access to more than 1,000 users while reducing analysis time for campaign performance. At Mercado Libre, product leaders said the agents reduced reliance on manual reporting and surfaced automatic insights into funnel performance and conversion trends.

For Amplitude, the broader ambition is clear: transform analytics from a retrospective reporting function into a continuous, autonomous system that shortens the distance between insight and impact.

As artificial intelligence makes building software easier than ever, the competitive edge may shift to those who can learn from it just as quickly.

This fourth piece is the moment in our series where the conversation shifts from “should we” to “how do we actually make something work,” building directly on the ghosts, data foundations, and experimentation muscles we’ve already introduced. Now we are jumping into five practical principles — clear decision boundaries, orchestrated specialist agents, real-time personalization, measurement designed upfront, and a human-in-the-lead collaboration model — so that autonomous systems feel less like a science project and more like accountable members of your team.

The Shift from Automation to Autonomy

Marketing is crossing a threshold where AI is no longer just assisting with tasks but running entire workflows end-to-end. Autonomous agents now plan, execute and optimize campaigns in real time across channels, operating with a level of speed and precision that humans alone cannot match. But the differentiator isn’t the technology itself, it’s the way marketers today design, constrain and measure these systems that determines whether they drive compounding value or become another failed experiment.​

For modern marketing leaders, this moment demands a shift in mindset from debating whether to test AI to determining how to structure autonomous AI that aligns with strategy, protects the brand, and delivers measurable outcomes. Autonomous agents represent a new kind of marketing teammate — one that requires clear roles, guardrails, and performance expectations to succeed. Here, we dive into the five principles required to achieve that success.

Principle 1: Define Exactly How Far Agents Can Go

The first principle is about drawing a clear line between what agents are allowed to decide on their own and what still requires human judgment. In most failed deployments, this line either does not exist or exists only as a vague concept that lives in someone’s head. Successful teams explicitly specify which decisions an agent can make in real time — such as bid adjustments, creative rotation, offer, or send-time optimization — and which decisions must be escalated, such as pausing a campaign, changing brand messaging, or launching into a new region. That clarity gives agents enough room to move fast while protecting the business from high-impact mistakes.​

This structure works best when it is framed not as a technical configuration, but as a brand policy. For each workflow, marketing leaders define the maximum budget an agent can touch, the ranges within which it can experiment, and the thresholds that trigger human review. Over time, as trust and performance improve, those boundaries can be widened, but the idea is consistent: autonomy is granted, not assumed. The practical outcome is that agents feel “fast but safe” from the organization’s point of view — they are empowered to act, but never in ways that surprise leadership or violate brand standards.​

Principle 2: Orchestrate a Team of Specialized Agents

The second principle reframes agents as a team of specialized digital colleagues rather than a single monolithic system. The most effective marketing organizations are not deploying “one big AI” but a set of agents, each accountable for a different part of the buying experience: one that continuously analyzes performance data, one that allocates budget and channel mix, one that generates and tests creative and one that handles optimization and execution details. This division of labor mirrors how high-performing human teams already operate, making the model easier to explain internally and to scale.​

What matters is not just the specialization but the orchestration. These agents need to share context so the strategist agent knows what the analyst has discovered and the content agent knows which audiences are most promising. When that coordination is in place, organizations report faster campaign launches, more experiments run per week and noticeable lifts in both conversion and efficiency, because the system as a whole is constantly learning and responding to what the market is doing right now. In practice, marketers experience this not as a shiny AI project but as a feeling that the team suddenly has more hands on deck.

Principle 3: Move from Segments to Real-Time Decisions

The third principle is to stop treating personalization as a one-time configuration of segments and start treating it as a continuous, real-time decision process. Legacy marketing automation was built around static rules and batch campaigns: define a segment, write a sequence, and hope performance holds until the next quarterly refresh. Autonomous agents flip this on its head by adjusting creative, channel, timing, and offers moment by moment, based on actions and experimentation to deliver the most desired outcome. 

In practical terms, this means an agent that notices a certain audience cohort engaging more with short-form video will shift spend toward that format without waiting for a human to log in and read a report. It means send times, subject lines, landing page variants and even channel choice are all fluid and responsive instead of fixed for the duration of a campaign. For the marketer, the work shifts from micromanaging every lever to defining the objectives, constraints and brand rules within which the agent optimizes continuously. The payoff is a system that gets smarter and more relevant with every interaction, rather than decaying the moment it goes live.​

Principle 4: Design the Measurement System First

The fourth principle is that measurement cannot be an afterthought; it must be designed before a single line of agent behavior goes into production. Enterprises that see a durable impact from AI agents start by defining the business outcomes they care about — pipeline, revenue impact, cost per qualified lead, lifetime value — and then build a layered measurement framework that connects those outcomes to the decisions agents make. Without that bridge, it becomes impossible to tell whether performance is improving because of the agent, despite it, or for unrelated reasons.​

A useful way to think about this is in terms of the full decision loop. At the strategic level, the organization tracks how AI-driven initiatives move the needle on growth and efficiency. At the operational level, it monitors how quickly agents observe data, how often their decisions align with desired behaviors, and how reliably actions get executed across platforms. When those metrics are visible on a regular cadence, trust grows and conversations about AI shift from abstract optimism or fear to concrete performance management: which agents are working, which need tuning and where new use cases should be added next.​

Principle 5: Keep Humans in the Leadership Seat

The final principle acknowledges that the most successful implementations treat agents as powerful operators, rather than replacements for human leadership. In high-functioning teams, agents handle the repetitive, high-frequency decisions that humans struggle to sustain, while marketers focus on narrative, positioning, brand, and broader market strategy.

That shift does not happen by accident. It requires deliberate change management, honest conversations about fears and expectations, and training focused on working with agents as collaborators. Organizations that lean into this model report faster decision cycles and better results, but they also report something more subtle: teams feel less bogged down in manual maintenance and more energized by higher-level work. The promise of autonomous marketing is not a future where humans are sidelined; it is a future where human judgment is amplified by an always-on layer of machine decision-making that extends what the team can realistically execute.​

Moving Ahead, Full Steam

Marketing leaders who implement these five principles can deploy autonomous AI agents without major disruptions. Boundaries define safe operating ranges, while agent coordination enables more effective handling of complex workflows than single systems. Real-time adjustments outperform static approaches, and measurement frameworks enable ongoing refinement. The result is AI managing routine execution as humans focus on strategy and oversight.

This Metadata leadership series is intended to help marketers name the ghosts that stall AI, build the right data and experimentation backbone and put autonomous agents to work inside a disciplined operating model that the business can actually trust. From mindset to foundations to agent design and governance, today’s digital marketers must move past pilots and turn AI into a measurable part of how their go‑to‑market engine runs every day.

CognyX AI announced the release of Chatbix.AI, a no-code platform designed to help businesses create and deploy AI agents that automate customer support across websites, messaging apps, and other digital channels.

The platform aims to address a common problem: customer support teams are often overwhelmed by repetitive questions, while the information needed to answer them is scattered across help centers, product guides, internal documents, and policy pages. Chatbix.AI seeks to centralize that knowledge, allowing organizations to build AI assistants that draw answers directly from approved sources.

“Chatbix.AI makes it easy for any business to build and deploy AI agents in minutes, without code, while keeping answers grounded in their own knowledge,” the CognyX AI leadership team said in a statement.

A Configuration-First Approach

Unlike traditional AI implementations that require custom development, Chatbix.AI is built for nontechnical teams. Through a simple interface, businesses can define the scope of an AI agent, select which categories of questions it should handle, and connect internal knowledge sources such as FAQs, documentation, return policies, and service descriptions.

As products and policies change, those sources can be updated to ensure the AI continues to deliver accurate responses.

The platform is also designed to fit into real-world support workflows. Teams can review and validate responses during rollout, track which topics are being addressed, and establish clear escalation paths when human intervention is required.

“Chatbix.AI was developed to support a structured workflow for AI-assisted customer support, including knowledge setup, channel deployment, and escalation to human teams,” CognyX AI said. “The product is intended for organizations that want to implement AI agents in a manageable way that can be maintained alongside their existing support content.”

Key Capabilities

According to CognyX AI, Chatbix.AI includes a range of features commonly needed for customer service automation:

• No-code tools to create AI support agents
• Training based on business content such as help articles and documentation
• Multilingual interactions for global customers
• Deployment across websites and compatible support channels
• Seamless handoff to human agents when necessary
• Integration options via APIs and automation platforms

The platform is suited for routine inquiries such as product questions, order tracking, returns and refunds, appointment details, and account assistance. Actual coverage depends on the knowledge sources connected and the escalation rules configured by each organization.

Built for Businesses of All Sizes

CognyX AI says Chatbix.AI is designed to serve a wide range of users — from startups building their first support processes to ecommerce brands handling high volumes of pre-purchase questions. Service-based companies and growing teams seeking to standardize responses across channels can also use the platform to reduce workload and improve consistency.

Most organizations begin with a limited pilot: preparing content, selecting approved documents, defining escalation rules, and launching the agent in a controlled setting before expanding to additional channels.

Beyond customer-facing use, Chatbix.AI can also function as an internal knowledge assistant, helping employees access onboarding materials, IT support information, or operational guidance — provided appropriate governance and access controls are in place.
