Benefits

Interact naturally and accurately

Deliver more natural customer experiences with virtual agents that support multi-turn conversations with supplemental questions and are built with the deep learning technologies that power Google Assistant.

Build quickly, deploy universally

Reduce development time from days to minutes with a visual builder and prebuilt agents. Then easily deploy across your contact center and digital channels, including web, mobile, and messaging services.

Manage and scale with ease

Easily manage your virtual agents with end-to-end CI/CD through versioning and continuous evaluation and with flow-based modules that allow scaling up to 20 independent flows and 40,000 intents for each agent.

Key features

Key features for Dialogflow CX

Visual flow builder

Reduce development time with interactive flow visualizations that allow builders to quickly see, understand, edit, and share their work. It also allows for easy collaboration across teams.

Omnichannel implementation

Build once, deploy everywhere—in your contact centers and digital channels. Seamlessly integrate your agents across platforms including web, mobile, and messenger and with telephony partners such as Genesys, Avaya, and Cisco.

Advanced AI

Improve your call/chat containment rate with the latest BERT-based natural language understanding (NLU) models that are capable of recognizing intent and context accurately and efficiently in more complex use cases.

State-based data models

Reuse intents, intuitively define transitions and data conditions, and handle supplemental questions—allowing customers to deviate from the main topic, then gracefully return to the main flow.

End-to-end management

Take care of all your agent management needs including CI/CD, analytics, experiments, and bot evaluation inside Dialogflow—you don't need any other custom softwares.

Use cases

Use cases

Use case
Voicebots for customer service

Give customers 24/7 access to immediate conversational self-service, with seamless handoffs to human agents for more complex issues by building virtual agents and interactive voice response (IVR) that can perform tasks such as scheduling appointments, answering common questions, or assisting a customer with simple requests.
