Automation has reduced large call centers and provides real-time outbound support for patients
Kore.ai is a low-code platform, and you do not necessarily have to be an expert in artificial intelligence or generative AI to use this platform. However, if you have that experience, it will be a valuable add-on. The main advantage is that it has almost every kind of plugin available to use, whether for live agents or if you want to use it as a call center. You have real-time capabilities and the most useful plugins available, with almost every kind of model available with configurations. We can configure the ML models and train them. The platform is very user-friendly with explanatory features and a great UI. One significant feature is the live testing platform with Kore.ai. When you are creating a workflow, you have an interactive, real-time testing platform that reflects every change you make. This makes it easy to debug errors or add new features. Additionally, Kore.ai has many different tools and platforms that cater to different needs, whether for a call center, normal workflow, or machine learning workflow, which is really useful. Because of Kore.ai, it was much easier than creating something manually. A low-code platform always helps, and when that platform has this much capability, it provides far more value than manual development. It was particularly helpful for our team that we could create a POC and get that project into production. Kore.ai helped our team build a generative AI outbound calling chatbot, and it truly helped our customers. If you have a hospital with a thousand employees in a call center, you might consider outsourcing. However, with Kore.ai's outbound calling capabilities, you can eliminate the outsourcing part. You do not need a thousand call center employees. You can accomplish this through automation with just one or two employees if people need to switch to agents. This represented a significant cost reduction.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It impacted my organization by helping us move into being AI-native, and it helped a lot to show other clients that we have worked in AI."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by being a big money saver because before having our chatbot, the use case was that every time some of our customers needed help, they used to call a number."
"Kore.ai has positively impacted my organization by simplifying the process of responding to emails and streamlining the workflow, saving me considerable time."

Cons

"Kore.ai can be improved by enhancing their documentation, which is currently a bit disorganized."
"The two points I deduct relate to the integrations, which were not as extensive as I initially expected."
"To improve Kore.ai, I suggest focusing on more agentic automation, such as offering MCP kind of features with an orchestration layer for use cases."
"I choose 7.5 out of 10 for Kore.ai because a few things already need to be improved, one of which I have mentioned."
"Customer support is where Kore.ai has significant room for improvement. Post-implementation support is a particularly discouraging aspect for me."
"I rated Kore.ai an 8 out of 10 because additional features could be added to it."
"Customer support is okay, I guess. We get what we want from them whenever there is an issue or something, but sometimes when we had issues, it was delayed a lot."
"In my experience, Kore.ai is not stable."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information."
"Impersonating a user or using a template user to send messages for development purposes would be very useful."
"More analytics tools could be integrated into Sendbird."
"A major issue was the requirement for a separate connection to Sendbird, resulting in a delay when initiating the chat."
"Their pricing is very high compared to competitors, which is a concern for us."
"I thought that there should be the audio and the video call functionality as well."
"At times, there are unexpected behaviors where the documentation suggests something different from how the SDK actually behaves, requiring us to create workarounds."
"The documentation for integrating with the Flutter framework is lacking detailed information. Initially, I struggled to connect users and manage tokens for active and offline sessions, which caused frustration."
