ai agents technical

AI agents are computer programs designed to perform tasks or make decisions automatically, often by learning from data and adapting to new information. They act like virtual assistants or robots that can handle complex activities without human intervention, which can help businesses and individuals save time and improve efficiency. For investors, AI agents matter because they can enhance decision-making and automate processes that influence markets and financial outcomes.

Recognized for its industry-first innovation that transforms enterprise interaction data into production-ready AI agents, and accelerates AI-first customer experience from insight to execution

HOBOKEN, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced that it was recognized for Best Innovation for Customer Experience at Enterprise Connect 2026, a leading conference and exhibition for enterprise communications and collaboration. The award was presented to NiCE for its industry-first innovation that identifies, builds, and deploys production-ready AI agents directly from enterprise data.

Best Innovation for Customer Experience recognizes technologies that demonstrate significant advancement, innovation, and measurable business impact in customer engagement.

Built on NiCE’s AI-native customer engagement platform, the new capability analyzes structured and unstructured data across voice, digital, self-service, workflows, and human interactions to pinpoint where AI will deliver the greatest business value. It quantifies the projected impact and automatically builds production-ready NiCE AI Agents within the same platform, eliminating prolonged pilot cycles and fragmented automation strategies.

Unlike analytics tools that stop at dashboards or point AI solutions that operate in isolation, NiCE unifies discovery, deployment, and governance within a single digital front door for customer engagement. Powered by billions of customer interactions annually, the platform continuously learns from real-world performance and optimizes AI agents through enterprise-grade guardrails and AI Ops controls — driving higher containment, reduced handle time, and faster speed to value.

Eric Krapf, Program Chair, Enterprise Connect, said, “Enterprise Connect is proud to recognize NiCE for Best Innovation for Customer Experience. NiCE’s new AI agent capability represents a significant advancement in how enterprises operationalize AI, transforming customer interaction data into scalable, production-ready automation with measurable business impact.”

Jeff Comstock, President, CX Product & Technology, NiCE, said, “This recognition validates a fundamental shift in how enterprises deploy AI. NiCE’s latest AI agent innovation starts with real interaction data, quantifies the impact, and moves directly to execution. It’s disciplined, scalable AI, designed to produce outcomes, not experiments.”
