Group Head of Data Strategy & Enterprise Governance at a consumer goods company with 10,001+ employees
Struggled to justify enterprise adoption but have valued broader developer accessibility
If I could change or add anything to improve C3 AI, I would suggest making it not just an AI platform, but a data and AI combined platform, as bringing in data management elements, governance, and cloud features is critical. The real AI and modeling represent only 20 percent of what is needed; there is over 80 percent in the rest of the world that should be addressed. Given Tom Siebel's deep understanding of corporate work and his network, integrating C3 AI with other ERP solutions such as Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft is essential. If C3 AI can be an enterprise platform, embedding more data elements and ensuring seamless integration with other ERP solutions would significantly enhance its capabilities and attractiveness. If someone told me that they have SAP, and C3 AI can seamlessly integrate the data and perform action calls between SAP, allowing me to operate on C3 AI as I would on SAP, that would be a killer feature for me. I would suggest avoiding traditional licensing sales as it is too expensive; the starting price is too high. Considering a subscription model or a pay-per-use model is the best business structure for AI or data solution vendors. The pay-per-use model benefits usage, as the more you use, the more successful you become with the platform.

Building custom conversational agents has transformed how my team delivers business workflows
Regarding how Cognigy.AI Platform can be improved, overall it looks good. However, some deep documentation with different use cases would be beneficial. The current documentation is plain. As an implementation engineer, if I want to understand customer requirements and how they should be implemented, there is no systematic process. Documentation on how to collect and convert customer requirements into workflow, and then how to implement the same in Cognigy.AI Platform, would be really helpful. Those pieces of information will help those who are newly understanding the platform and will speed up the overall process. Regarding needed improvements, the translator service currently supports only three providers: Microsoft, DeepL, and Lex. However, I need to add some additional services, but I do not see any customization as part of the translation service if I want to add it from my side. Those customizations would really help to improve the platform by bringing your own translator instead of using the out-of-the-box translator service. If customization were provided in those areas, it would be really helpful for us.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the best features C3 AI offers is that you do not need to learn Python or any specific machine learning programming language; you can use C3 AI with JavaScript."
"In the first phase alone, there was approximately $90 million in savings, which reduced about 5% of inventory."
"The biggest strength of C3 AI is how much it handles in one platform: data integration, model deployment, governance, monitoring, and application development."
"I have noticed improvements in efficiency, reduced downtime, and time saved for my team, as it is quite integrated through the source ML pipeline to report to general customer UI, functioning as one platform that takes care of everything, thus improving efficiency, optimization, and increasing project deliverables."
"Cognigy.AI Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing development time, providing efficiency gains, and improving accuracy for our agents, and we are getting fewer calls for our agents, with most of our generic queries resolved by Cognigy.AI Platform's voice bot, resulting in a 20% reduction in overall calls."
"Cognigy.AI Platform has really helped us positively in our organization with our customer projects because the projects that I have worked on have been customer-related."
"Overall, I had a positive experience evaluating Cognigy.AI Platform, as it is a strong enterprise conversational AI platform with an intuitive visual development experience and good integration capabilities."
"Cognigy.AI Platform has positively impacted my organization because it saves us time implementing the chat assistant, we do not need to build the chat assistant from scratch, and it reduced the development time for new features and made it easier for both technical and non-technical team members to collaborate on chat improvements."
"Cognigy.AI Platform has enhanced my customer interactions because all clients have been positive about it and have seen the benefits."
"Cognigy.AI Platform has positively impacted my organization because, on the use cases itself, the AI-driven decisions are working quite well."
"Previously, it would take a month to build all conversational flow and IVR flows, now it takes just days."
"The best part of using Cognigy.AI Platform is that the user interface is very friendly and easy to use."
 

Cons

"We even failed to open any doors for C3 AI; there are no smaller wins, learning opportunities, or process improvements, even if the main goals were not met."
"However, I sometimes hear from colleagues that hallucination is an issue."
"C3 AI can feel very enterprise-heavy. For smaller teams, it may feel excessive."
"The reason I chose eight out of ten is that as a user of C3 AI, I found the operational aspect not easy to understand; it is a bit tricky, and you should have more core knowledge to navigate C3 AI."
"However, some deep documentation with different use cases would be beneficial."
"As compared to others and the market standard, the pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Cognigy.AI Platform is currently high."
"Connecting Cognigy.AI Platform to our internal data had some challenges, with setup complexity existing, pricing clarity needing improvement, and privacy control for sensitive employee data needing improvement."
"Features such as additional support for multiple programming languages inside the HTTP request nodes would be a helpful improvement, beyond just JavaScript."
"I feel there are challenges with scripting in Cognigy.AI Platform. While building nodes, I often had to do scripting, and just by prompting or providing instructions, the node was not able to behave the way it should."
"The reason I did not give it a ten is that there is still room for improvement in areas such as debugging, version control, editor performance on larger projects, and documentation for more advanced use cases."
"One of the biggest challenges I continue facing while using Cognigy.AI Platform is the fact that the platform lacks proper version control, and this makes it difficult when I am working with multiple team members and it is very hard to track the changes that I do or the changes that my peers are doing."
"Regarding Cognigy.AI Platform's AI capabilities, I think security-wise there are some concerns because you cannot really protect the REST endpoints, and there are some open points on the security perspective and on the governance perspective."
