RingCentral Highlights AI Momentum and Innovation that Transforms Customer Experiences
“At RingCentral, we’ve been on a journey for the past 25 years transforming the way businesses communicate and engage their customers. Now with AI, we’re reinventing customer interactions, at every stage of the customer journey – making them more intelligent, connected, and effortless,” said Vlad Shmunis, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of RingCentral. “AI Receptionist (AIR) represents the next evolution of RingCentral where we can leverage our expertise in advanced voice together with Gen AI to unleash unprecedented business value for our customers.”
AI Receptionist (AIR) Updates
Since its announcement a few weeks ago, RingCentral is seeing rapid adoption of RingCentral AIR™, with more than 200 customers already live. Across industries such as security services, hospitality, legal, and many others, RingCentral AIR is democratizing AI for businesses by providing a ‘digital employee’ that will:
- Answer calls instantly and engage in natural conversations
- Handle routine inquiries without requiring human intervention
- Intelligently route complex calls to the right person
- Schedule appointments and send follow-up via SMS
Recognized as a ‘Best of Show’ finalist by Enterprise Connect ‘25, this new AI phone agent is capturing the imagination of businesses of all sizes that are applying the solution across a variety of use cases, such as a front desk receptionist, sales development representative (SDR) and customer service representative. RingCentral AIR is generating favorable response from businesses who are experiencing the benefits, and seeing first-hand how easy it is to set up, manage, and use — leveraging RingCentral’s AIR Studio to very quickly configure and test AI phone agents.
"We're seeing very noticeable efficiency gains. RingCentral AI Receptionist saves each employee
“The signups of the AI Receptionist (AIR) early access program have been very strong,” said Jim Dvorkin, SVP of Customer Experience Products at RingCentral. “RingCentral AIR was built to be fit for purpose and out of the box, making it easy to deploy, easy to use, and easy to maintain. The demand shows there’s incredible excitement among organizations across a wide variety of vertical industries and roles that see the opportunity to augment their workforce with digital employees, and address common issues related to missed calls and limited staffing.”
"Every tech vendor today is embarking on an AI journey. What truly matters is how these solutions are integrated into real-world applications to solve specific business challenges, drive innovation, and deliver tangible value to customers. It's not just about having AI, but about leveraging it effectively to create meaningful impact,” said Roopam Jain, Vice President of Research, Information and Communications Technologies at Frost & Sullivan. “RingCentral’s foray into Agentic AI with the recently announced RingCentral AIR exemplifies this approach."
