Introducing Genesys Dialog Engine and Architect’s Call Dialog Engine Bot action for chat, SMS, and messaging flows

The Genesys Dialog Engine integration and Architect’s Call Dialog Engine Bot action are now available for English-language chat, SMS, and messaging flows. Administrators and contact center managers can use Genesys Dialog Engine to easily and quickly create bots, then use the Call Dialog Engine action with the bot to create and process the interaction according to bot configuration. The Architect flow starts a conversation with the user and, using the action, passes information to the Genesys Dialog Engine bot to understand the user’s intents and slots. This feature provides customers with automation and self-service, and ensures that the customer routes to the appropriate agent. For more information, see About bots, Genesys Dialog Engine User Guide, and Call Genesys Dialog Engine Bot action.

Genesys Dialog Engine knowledge bots and knowledge bots in Architect flows

Administrators and contact center managers can now create knowledge bots in the Genesys Dialog Engine integration and then use them in Architect chat, SMS, and messaging flows. A Genesys Dialog Engine knowledge bot includes a set of predefined question and answer pairs or FAQs that the bot uses to more quickly provide responses to customer queries. This feature improves bot efficiency and enhances the customer experience. For more information, see Adding Knowledge to your bot, Knowledge Bots, Add a Dialog Engine Knowledge bot to an Architect flow, and Call Dialog Engine Bot action.

Genesys Dialog Engine pricing

Genesys Cloud 2 and Genesys Cloud 3 subscriptions now include access to Genesys Dialog Engine, Genesys’s native bot authoring tool. Charges for Dialog Engine are per each API request in a bot conversation when a user interacts with the bot. These API requests are equivalent to each dialog “turn,” or request and response pair, in the bot conversation. Existing customers can add Genesys Dialog Engine to their subscription from the Genesys Add Ons page. To learn about volume discounts, administrators should contact their Customer Success Manager or sales representative. For more information, see Genesys Dialog Engine pricing.
