Company Description
eGain Corporation (NASDAQ: EGAN) is a software company in the information sector that focuses on AI CX automation and knowledge management for customer service and customer experience operations. According to company disclosures and recent press releases, eGain provides an AI Knowledge Hub and AI Agent software that help businesses improve experience and reduce cost by delivering trusted, consumable answers across customer-facing and internal channels.
The company describes its platform as an AI knowledge hub solution to automate customer experience, sold primarily as a SaaS offering. eGain states that it sells this SaaS solution to enterprises that want to improve customer experience while reducing costs by using AI to deliver trusted answers. The solution is organized into hubs that include an AI Agent, an AI Knowledge Hub, and a Conversation Hub, and is delivered on a cloud-based subscription platform. Contracts are typically multi‑year, with pricing based on agents or sessions, and the majority of revenue comes from SaaS, as disclosed in financial statements and descriptions of revenue mix.
In its public materials, eGain positions its AI Knowledge Hub as a central, governed knowledge base that serves as a single source of truth for customer service and internal users. Press releases describe deployments where organizations migrate procedures and documents into eGain's unified AI Knowledge Hub as structured knowledge articles organized by role and function. The platform is used to address issues such as fragmented knowledge, version control problems, compliance visibility, and operational inefficiencies in contact centers and enterprise functions.
Business model and offerings
eGain reports that it offers its software through a cloud-based SaaS model, typically under subscription contracts. The company also discloses that it provides professional services, including consulting, implementation, training, and managed services, alongside its SaaS platform. Financial statements in its SEC filings separate revenue into SaaS and professional services categories, with SaaS representing the majority of total revenue.
The company highlights several core technology components in its announcements:
- eGain AI Knowledge Hub™ – described as a platform that unifies and governs enterprise knowledge, delivering trusted answers for customer service and internal users. It embeds what eGain calls the eGain AI Knowledge Method, which focuses on discovering the knowledge that truly matters and automating processes such as discovery, curation, publishing, and optimization of content.
- eGain AI Agent™ and eGain AI Agent 2™ – AI-powered agents for omnichannel customer experience automation. eGain describes AI Agent 2 as combining probabilistic reasoning from large language models with deterministic reasoning for multi‑step, compliance‑sensitive workflows, with the goal of delivering what it calls Assured Actions based on Trusted Knowledge.
- eGain Composer™ – presented as a modular AI knowledge development platform that exposes the capabilities of the AI Knowledge Hub to developers through APIs, MCP servers, and SDKs. The company states that Composer supports composable architectures and integrations into web, desktop, mobile, and agentic environments.
Across these offerings, eGain emphasizes the concept of Trusted Knowledge, which refers to unified, correct, and compliant content that underpins AI‑driven answers. The company also highlights features such as content lifecycle management, content health analytics, and quality assurance mechanisms like its PrismEval service, which is described as aligning AI‑generated responses with the underlying knowledge base.
