Automation Anywhere is an agentic process automation platform, and its customer service solution points that machinery at support work: AI agents that triage, categorize, and route tickets, verify identity, check and modify orders, process returns and RMAs, handle password resets and account changes, and keep messages in sync across channels. The pitch is "talk and act": conversational AI on the front end, with agents that execute in the systems behind it, CRM, ITSM, and ERP alike. Native integrations cover Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Zendesk, Automation Co-Pilot assists human agents inside the tools they already use, and the platform generates knowledge articles and tracks CSAT and NPS along the way.
The company was founded in 2003 in San Jose by Mihir Shukla and Ankur Kothari and grew into one of the biggest names in RPA; Gartner has named it a Magic Quadrant Leader for eight consecutive years, and it reports over 400 million automations a year across 1,500+ live agentic deployments. The reason it appears in this directory is the November 2025 acquisition of Aisera, whose conversational self-service agents for IT, HR, and customer service (including AiseraGPT, formerly listed here on its own) folded into the platform, with more than 100 Aisera AI engineers joining to build the combined agentic stack. Aisera's customer service pages now redirect to this one. Customers on the support side include SoftBank, the City of Seattle, and Ricoh, which credits the platform with 500 days of work saved per month.
Nothing is published on price for the customer service solution: expect a sales cycle and a custom quote, and the vendor itself cites implementations running from $50k to over $250k for enterprise builds.
Choose Automation Anywhere when support automation is one front of a broader enterprise automation program and you want ticket resolution wired into the same platform that runs finance and IT workflows. If you want a helpdesk-native AI agent your support team can switch on in a week, the purpose-built tools in this directory will get there with far less machinery.

Quiq is an agentic AI platform for enterprise customer experience. Its AI Agents resolve customer questions end to end across messaging channels, its Voice AI handles natural phone conversations, and its AI Assistants coach human agents in real time when a conversation needs a person. Everything runs through a digital contact center workspace, with an AI Studio for building, testing, and monitoring agents. In July 2026 Quiq added Verified Intelligence, a governance layer of guardrails, simulations, and step by step visibility into agent decisions.
CEO Mike Myer founded Quiq in Bozeman, Montana in 2015, which makes it one of the longer running players in AI for CX. The company raised a $25 million Series C led by Baird Capital in 2022, and in May 2026 it rebranded around the shift from isolated AI pilots to production scale deployments, launching Voice AI at the same time. Customers include Roku, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Brex, Panasonic, Lululemon, Terminix, and Brinks Home.
Quiq publishes no prices anywhere on its site. The model is usage based: you pay for the conversations you actually use rather than for seats or feature tiers, so costs scale with volume and can be forecast from it, but every deal starts with a sales conversation and a custom quote. There is no free tier and no self serve signup, and professional managed services, where Quiq's own team builds and tunes your agents, cost extra.
Choose Quiq if you are a consumer brand with real conversation volume that wants one vendor covering autonomous AI agents, voice, and human agent assist, with governance tooling strong enough to satisfy a cautious legal team. It is squarely an enterprise sale with enterprise onboarding, so a small support team that wants self serve signup, a published price list, or a quick weekend deployment should look at lighter helpdesk native AI products instead.
