Introducing Agent Assist in select regions

Agent Assist provides the real-time transcription of a customer call and knowledge suggestions that get updated automatically, based on the context of the conversation. Knowledge suggestions consist of FAQ or knowledge article recommendations, which help agents become more efficient and knowledgeable, and improve the overall customer experience. This feature will be available region by region. For more information, including region availability, see About Agent Assist. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 1, Genesys Cloud User 2, or Genesys Cloud User 3.

Update ACD and language skills on an interaction in a queue with Routing API

Note that updating skills may impact forecasting and scheduling capabilities because the targeted agents change each time skills are added or removed. For more information, see /api/v2/routing/conversations/{conversationID in Routing in the Developer Center. This feature requires one of the following subscriptions: Genesys Cloud User 1, Genesys Cloud User 2, or Genesys Cloud User 3.
