NiCE (Nasdaq: NICE) today announced a series of breakthrough innovations for NiCE Cognigy at Nexus 2026, its global CX AI Summit, advancing how enterprises discover, engineer, orchestrate, and scale AI Agents within a governed operating model that continuously senses, decides, acts, and improves across systems.

“Agentic AI is becoming the operating layer of the enterprise,” said Philipp Heltewig, General Manager, NiCE Cognigy and Chief AI Officer. “The challenge is no longer experimentation—it is how to run AI with visibility, accountability, and measurable performance. The innovations we’re unveiling at Nexus are designed for exactly that.”

Breakthrough Innovations Unveiled

• Automation Opportunity: From Noise to Strategy to AI Agents
  NiCE Cognigy introduced an automation discovery capability that analyzes engagement data—chats, voice, routing signals, and performance metrics—to identify automation opportunities and generate AI Agents from high-impact use cases. The result is a closed loop from engagement data to deployable AI Agents, accelerating time to value and aligning AI investment with measurable business outcomes.
• Embedded Multivariate Testing: Evidence-Based AI Agent Evals
  Embedded Multivariate Testing enables controlled side-by-side comparisons across prompts, guardrails, routing logic, fulfillment strategies, and foundation models. By simulating large-scale interactions before release, enterprises can assess containment, compliance, and experience impact in advance—shifting AI evaluation from static QA to continuous performance engineering.
• Multimodal, Proactive, Hybrid Journeys: One Coherent Experience Layer
  NiCE Cognigy unifies voice, visual interfaces, structured forms, and backend workflows into one synchronized journey with shared context. AI Agents can initiate proactive interactions and transition seamlessly into live conversations. Integrated human handover and asynchronous “agent unblocking” enable AI and human experts to collaborate without disrupting the customer experience—supporting a scalable hybrid workforce model.
• Advanced Conversation Analytics: From Quantitative KPIs to Qualitative Intelligence
  NiCE Cognigy announced enhanced Conversation Analyzer capabilities that apply LLM-based evaluation to production transcripts, moving beyond traditional KPI dashboards. Enterprises can assess interactions against configurable quality parameters, detect anomalies, surface root causes, and track performance trends—transforming conversation data into qualitative insight for continuous, data-driven AI performance management.
• Advancing MCP Integration: From AI Customers to AI-Run Operations
  NiCE Cognigy expanded its integration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling secure interoperability with external AI tools and development environments while making Cognigy capabilities available as governed services for enterprise AI ecosystems.

AI Leaders Share Real-World Execution
Nexus 2026 convenes AI and transformation leaders from global brands including Allianz, Lufthansa Group, Generali, SKY, and Openreach (BT), alongside industry experts from Accenture, Deloitte, and Microsoft who shared how they are redesigning workflows, governing hybrid workforces, and scaling AI into mission-critical operations.

“We are at the beginning of a structural shift in how enterprises operate,” said Scott Russell, CEO, NiCE. “In customer experience, AI is no longer a feature layered onto software—it is becoming the intelligence that runs it. The companies that win will be those that design for a hybrid workforce, where humans and AI systems work as one coordinated engine. Our role is to give enterprises the scale, resilience, and architectural foundation to turn Agentic AI into a continuous source of growth, adaptability, and competitive advantage.”
