NiCE Announces the Future of AI-Powered CX<\/p>\n
Agentic AI now native at the core of the platform, proven in production across the world\u2019s most complex organizations<\/p>\n
Hoboken, N.J., June 9, 2026 – NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced a fundamental shift in customer experience: with
\n agentic AI native at the core of its platform, enterprises can now run AI agents, human teams, workflows, data, and systems as one intelligent operating model.<\/p>\n
For decades, customer experience meant routing interactions to people. NiCE changes that. AI now understands intent, resolves issues autonomously, engages
\n customers proactively, orchestrates work across front- and back-office systems, and elevates human expertise when it matters most. Every interaction becomes intelligence, every workflow can be automated, and every outcome can be measured and
\n improved.<\/p>\n
NiCE is built for a world where AI is the intelligence layer that runs customer experience. NiCE gives enterprises a single platform to design, deploy,
\n govern, and continuously improve AI agents across voice, digital, self-service, proactive engagement, agent assistance, analytics, and workflow orchestration.<\/p>\n
A Platform Only NiCE Could Build<\/p>\n
NiCE is uniquely positioned because it combines the industry\u2019s leading enterprise CX foundation with the most advanced conversational and agentic AI
\n purpose-built for customer experience. NiCE Cognigy\u2019s Agentic AI operates as the brain of the platform, reasoning across channels, orchestrating actions, and powering AI agents that can move from conversation to resolution. It\u2019s industry-leading,
\n cloud-native platform provides the enterprise foundation: global scale, security, compliance, workforce intelligence, analytics, routing, and operational reliability trusted by the world\u2019s most complex organizations. NiCE supports the highest
\n security and compliance standards, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP authorization, protecting customer data at the highest levels of assurance.<\/p>\n
This is AI proven in production: NiCE\u2019s annual recurring revenue grew 66% year over year in the first quarter of 2026 and represented 14% of cloud revenue.
\n That momentum is matched by external recognition: NiCE was the sole vendor named a Customers\u2019 Choice in the 2025 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Enterprise Conversational AI Platforms, and NiCE was named to Fast Company\u2019s World\u2019s Most
\n Innovative Companies of 2026, ranking 11th in the Applied AI category.<\/p>\n
\u201cRunning AI at the scale, security, and compliance that enterprise customer operations demand takes more than a demo. It takes deep, real-world experience
\n with mission-critical CX data, workflows, and governance, and it takes AI built into the architecture rather than added on top. That is exactly what we have built: a platform where agentic AI is native at the core, with AI as the architecture,
\n governed and measurable at enterprise scale,\u201d said Jeff Comstock, President of CX Product & Technology at NiCE.<\/p>\n
How It Works<\/p>\n
NiCE delivers AI-native orchestration across every dimension of customer experience. Capabilities on show at NiCE World 2026 include:<\/p>\n
\n \u2022<\/p>\n
NiCE AI Agents:\u00a0The execution layer for autonomous customer resolution. Running natively inside the platform, NiCE AI Agents understand intent, take action across enterprise systems, complete
\n workflows end to end, and resolve customer needs across voice and digital channels without unnecessary handoffs.<\/p>\n
\n \u2022<\/p>\n
Agentic Engagement Plane:\u00a0The orchestration layer for the agentic era. As customers, employees, personal AI agents, enterprise AI agents, and systems interact, CX needs a trusted layer to
\n authenticate, mediate, route, and govern engagement. The Agentic Engagement Plane connects this ecosystem and moves work intelligently from intent to resolution.<\/p>\n
\n \u2022<\/p>\n
NiCE Guardian AI:\u00a0The governance layer for enterprise-scale AI operations. Guardian AI monitors AI and human actions in real time, applies compliance guardrails, detects risk, and continuously
\n improves performance across the CX operation.<\/p>\n
\n \u2022<\/p>\n
Agentic Analytics:\u00a0The discovery layer that transforms intelligence into action. Agentic Analytics moves beyond reporting what happened to identifying what should happen next, quantifying business
\n impact, and feeding precise signals into AI agents, workflows, and teams so the platform continuously improves.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnterprise leaders have shifted their CX AI strategy from consideration to rapid and broad deployment. They\u2019re asking who can actually deliver it reliably, securely, and at
\n scale. NiCE\u2019s combination of deep agentic AI with an enterprise-grade CX foundation is a compelling answer to that transformation.\u201d said Omer Minkara, VP & Principal Analyst, Aberdeen Strategy & Research.<\/p>\n
\u201cConsumers are willing to use AI, but they don’t want it forced on them. By threading AI into every aspect of NiCE’s platform, companies now have the intelligence to accurately
\n route to AI or human agents, personalization that will boost consumer enthusiasm for AI,\u201d said Robin Gareiss, CEO and Principal Analyst, Metrigy.<\/p>\n

Arizona State University, recognized globally for its commitment to innovation, is operationalizing AI across
\n student and constituent journeys, improving experience quality, institutional efficiency, and outcomes at a scale few organizations have achieved.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt Citi, we are focused on using AI to create smarter, more proactive customer experiences while driving operational excellence at scale,\u201d said Mia Carraro, Head of Service Excellence at Citi. \u201cAt NiCE World, we look forward to sharing how automation and AI are helping us uncover new efficiencies and deliver better outcomes for both customers and
\n employees.\u201d<\/p>\n
