Your AI assistant waits to be asked. Most work never is.
Cisco is swapping prompted assistants for agents that start on their own. The part that pays off is choosing which events start work, and what runs unchecked.
Your customer already told you. Does your agent remember?
Cisco's new Dialog keeps customer context across channels and time. Most support agents forget everyone when the chat ends. Decide what yours keeps, and where.
