Sendbird boosts efficiency by automating tasks, reducing development time, and enhancing user engagement, highlighting its substantial business value.

The feedback has been positive on the side that customers did not have to wait anymore and AST has gone down significantly.

Automating customer service really reduces the number of employees needed during peak hours, which is an achievement, especially if you are dealing with multiple calls per day.

The main return was not something of direct cost tracking on my own side, but more on the time saved, the faster response, and the reduced pressure on agents.

I have seen a return on investment, including saved money, saved time, and the requirement of very few resources or employees to implement Sendbird chat.

Room For Improvement

Cognigy.AI requires better version control, IDE integration, enhanced security, expanded documentation, more AI agents, and clearer pricing.
Sendbird must enhance documentation, stability, pricing, features, analytics, and updates while refining SDKs for better integration across platforms.
Creating a version control would really help developers.
AI Engineer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
It would be beneficial if the platform could connect to Visual Studio Code so that technical people can easily debug without having to go node by node.

More comprehensive documentation and additional real-world examples for advanced use cases would make onboarding and development smoother.

With AI-driven development happening, I would say include more AI-driven development or include more options on different libraries and languages.
Software Engineer at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
More flexibility in configuring unread count behavior, along with clearer documentation and debugging tools for these scenarios, would make it easier for developers and QA teams to validate and troubleshoot messaging workflows.

The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information.

Valuable Features

Cognigy.AI excels with its intuitive interface, robust automation, seamless integration, and efficient language management for enhanced customer interactions.
Sendbird delivers scalable chat solutions with real-time messaging, metadata, and seamless integration to enhance user engagement and operations.
Instead of going through manual testing where we have to type everything one by one, we run a Playbook, and it checks whether the feature is completely developed as it should be or if there are any edge cases that are happening.
AI Engineer at a transportation company with 10,001+ employees
The platform allows sharing projects with different people who can work simultaneously on the same project.

Technical Architect at a outsourcing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.

Organized real-time customer chats have improved support efficiency and response handling
One thing I found unique about Sendbird is how smooth the real-time chat feels. It does not feel delayed or clunky. Conversations flow naturally, as though you are talking to someone in real time. If I could improve one thing, I would add more built-in analytics around conversations, such as clearer insights on response times, common issues, and agent performance. That would make it much easier to optimize support without relying on external tools. One improvement I see for Sendbird would be more flexibility in customizing the chat interface, especially around how conversations are displayed for agents. Sometimes, when handling multiple chats, having better layout controls or quick filters would make it much easier to stay organized. I also would appreciate more built-in analytics inside the platform itself, such as clearer breakdowns of response times, chat resolution rates, and common customer issues. Right now, you often need external tools to get that level of insights. Overall, it works very well, but those improvements would make the day-to-day support work much smoother and much more efficient.
