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.

Partner program has reduced messaging costs and now supports reliable, large scale communication
I believe Gupshup could improve in several areas. Since our partnership involves working at scale for multiple WhatsApp Business API numbers over their infrastructure, I noticed that Gupshup also provides WhatsApp Business API for single consumers, which I saw on their website and documentation. They charge additionally per message or template message on top of the actual WhatsApp Business APIs messaging rate. For example, sending a WhatsApp marketing template costs around $1.50, and Gupshup adds their own service fee per message, around 20 to 30 cents. For a single consumer working at scale and sending thousands of messages daily, this can become concerning. They should implement a solution where it could be a one-off payment instead of per message payment, allowing single consumers to leverage their service better. What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me. Being a tech-focused person, I believe the system we rely on should be totally reliable and the people working on it should be reliable as well.

"I would appreciate more granular error code documentation for edge case API delivery failures, deeper out-of-the-box integration with cloud monitoring tools such as AWS CloudWatch or DataDog for native metric scraping, and a more responsive administrative console when querying massive historical message logs."
"Gupshup can be improved in terms of the UI and the design of the particular model."
"Gupshup could be improved by adding more selection of templates."
"My feedback regarding Gupshup is that during the DLT setting of IDs in the SMS and WhatsApp section, whatever is written in the portal has to be precise."
"What would make it a 10? A better engineering team that solves problems and knows the ins and outs instead of just doing patch fixes would be ideal for me."
"If I suggest an improvement, I would desire to see deeper analytics."
"I think Gupshup could be improved with online support or WhatsApp support so that we can talk directly with an agent, instead of working only by email."
"I think their customer support needs to be improved as they have a very slow response time and lack local support, especially in Indonesia."
