The Gist

  • Enhanced oversight tools. New monitoring, approval and testing features improve AI reliability.

  • Improved agent accuracy. Human review and simulation help fine-tune AI responses.

  • CX leader empowerment. Customer experience leaders gain safer scalable automation options for contact centers.

ASAPP announced expanded capabilities for its GenerativeAgent platform on July 22. The New York-based company added features focused on improving accuracy, control and trust in AI-automated contact center conversations.

According to company officials, the enhancements aim to address safety and security concerns that have made organizations hesitant to extend AI capabilities directly to customers. The updates include human review mechanisms, monitoring tools and simulation environments.

The announcement follows what ASAPP describes as a year of growth, including executive appointments and recognition in Forrester research reports.

Impacted Audiences for GenerativeAgent

  • Contact center and CX leaders in enterprise organizations

  • Customer service operations managers

  • IT decision-makers in telecommunications and financial services

Industry Context

Contact centers are rapidly adopting AI to meet rising customer expectations. Many CX experts believe AI will transform digital customer experience in the next few years.

ASAPP, founded in New York, has positioned itself in this evolving landscape with its GenerativeAgent platform. The company has gained recognition as a notable vendor in Forrester reports and experienced growth with new executive appointments.

The broader market shows significant AI adoption momentum, with 64% of contact centers already deploying agent-assist technology and 57% implementing web-based chatbots. Organizations implementing these solutions report up to 30% decrease in average handling time, reducing a 10-minute call to about 7 minutes.

Contact center AI investments are increasingly focused on workflow automation, personalization through predictive analytics, and AI-powered chatbots that handle routine inquiries. This shift enables human agents to focus on complex customer issues requiring emotional intelligence.

The industry is moving from reactive to proactive service models where AI anticipates customer needs before problems arise. With 45% of CCaaS executives reporting increased AI investments, the contact center space is considered "ground zero" for mainstream adoption of generative AI in business operations.

AI Agents' Growth in Customer Experience

ASAPP is committed to delivering the highest level of precision and trust in AI-automated customer conversations. These new capabilities from GenerativeAgent equip customer experience (CX) leaders with the tools to safely and confidently scale automation and the ability to monitor, control, and continuously improve how AI agents perform over time.

Screenshot of ASAPP’s GenerativeAgent evaluation interface showing a chat between an AI agent and a customer about unexpected roaming charges. The agent explains a $199.75 bill includes a $50 roaming fee, compared to the previous $150.75 bill. On the right, the evaluation results panel shows a 100% applicability rate and a 50% pass rate. The agent passed for sharing the bill amount but failed to add roaming to the customer's plan.
ASAPP’s GenerativeAgent is evaluated on a customer interaction involving billing confusion. While the agent correctly explains the roaming fee, it fails to act on adding the roaming plan, resulting in a partial pass in the system’s evaluation criteria.
