Side by side
Product attributes first, then what the sources establish for each customer workflow, then the industries they place each agent in. Open any claim to see its source, the date it was checked, and how to request a correction. Two agents are rarely documented to the same depth, so read a difference between the two columns as a difference in the public record before reading it as a difference in the products.
What this agent was judged by
No independent source has been found for any fit area, so every state here rests on vendor material or nothing.States rest on 0 independent sources. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.
What this agent was judged by
The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from analysts and trade press.States rest on 2 independent sources across analysts and trade press. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.
| Attribute | Ada | PolyAI |
|---|---|---|
| Review basis | Source-based review | Source-based review |
| Deployment model | Ada documents setup through its dashboard and a website or mobile chat integration, with connected knowledge and configured workflows.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI states its service is hosted on AWS, that the company is ISO 27001-certified and aligned with National Cyber Security Centre guidelines; it publishes Sandbox, Staging and Live environments with API-driven publishing, and no self-hosted option is documented.Vendor-reported
|
| Channels | Chat, voice, email and social messaging are documented. Voice and social connections use supported external platforms; confirm the intended channel integration.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI is voice-first — its documentation calls it an "enterprise platform for building voice and chat agents" and its pricing is per minute of voice-agent use — with secondary documented channels covering web chat, SMS and RCS, email, and iOS/Android SDKs (including in-app voice calling).Vendor-reported
|
| Languages | 60 languages are documented for messaging and email; voice supports a subset. English remains the fallback language.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI's languages page claims "75+ languages with native fluency" and lists 42 by name, while its developer documentation homepage states 24+ languages.Vendor-reported
|
| Help desk and CRM integrations | The integrations directory includes Zendesk, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Freshworks, Genesys and Help Scout. Check each entry for knowledge, messaging, email or voice support.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI documents integrations with Salesforce (customer lookup and case management), Zendesk (Talk voice routing and ticketing), Gladly, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex, Five9 and Twilio, and its marketing site claims "130+ integrations available" across telephony/voice routing, CRM and knowledge, productivity, and vertical systems.Vendor-reported
|
| Knowledge sources | Knowledge can come from help centres, websites, articles created in Ada and custom sources through the Knowledge API.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI combines curated FAQ topics with RAG over external sources — scraped URLs, uploaded files (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, CSV, JSON, XML, MD, HTML, EML, EPUB and more) and beta syncs from Zendesk Help Center and Gladly — chunked at 2000 characters with 500-character overlap.Vendor-reported
|
| Actions in backend systems | API tools, formerly called Actions, retrieve or send data through configured endpoints. Playbooks and Processes organise those calls into workflows.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI states its agents perform account management, authentication, call routing, billing and payments, booking and reservations, order management, troubleshooting and FAQ against integrated systems, with custom connectors documented alongside telephony, CRM and payments integrations.Vendor-reported

| Human handoff | Configured live transfers or follow-up tickets, with off-hours and error paths. Up to five active handoff configurations are documented.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI documents that the agent "runs autonomously by default and escalates to a human only when needed", transferring calls via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE and passing customer ID, verification status, escalation reason and transcript through SIP headers and the Handoff and Conversations APIs.Vendor-reported
|
| Target customer size | Ada presents an enterprise-focused sales process with a tailored demonstration and implementation plan. This positioning does not establish a minimum viable company size.Vendor-reported
| PolyAI targets enterprise contact centres across nine industries and sells via demo request, with ongoing use "priced on a per-minute basis, which includes proactive performance improvements, maintenance and 24/7 support" and no published price points or free tier.Vendor-reported
|
| Vendor-reported performance claims | Ada reports that Dott’s automated resolution increased from 32% to 77% after adopting Ada and connecting backend automations. This is one customer’s vendor-published result, not a platform-wide average or a comparable benchmark.Vendor-reported
| Unknown |
| Workflow evidenceBilling Illustrative scenario I was charged twice for the same order. Can you refund the extra payment? What to verify: Verify identity, inspect payment records, apply the refund policy, and confirm the payment-system result. If no authorized refund action is connected, hand off with the evidence. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: explain a duplicate charge using the customer’s payment records. Ada documents billing inquiries; verify identity checks, access to the payment system and the route for a disputed charge. Answering a question and reversing a payment are separate operations. 1 cited claim for billing on AdaAda lists billing and payment questions among its email workflows, using information retrieved from connected business systems.Vendor-reported
| External report PolyAI's own handoff documentation names billing disputes as an example of a conversation the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving. 2 cited claims for billing on PolyAIPolyAI's integrations page lists "billing & payments" among the functions its agents perform against connected systems.Vendor-reported
TechCrunch reported that PolyAI's voice assistants complete tasks including payment processing for contact-centre callers.Independent report
|
| Workflow evidenceOrders Illustrative scenario My order has not arrived. Where is it? What to verify: Retrieve the correct order and current carrier status. Distinguish a real tracking update from an estimate; do not invent a delivery date. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: retrieve shipment status for a customer’s order and give the carrier’s tracking link. Validate customer ownership, missing orders and stale tracking data. A lookup does not demonstrate that lost parcels are resolved. 1 cited claim for orders on AdaAda documents API-driven order-status lookups, so live order answers depend on connecting the order system.Vendor-reported
| External report PolyAI's integrations page lists "order management" and "booking & reservations" among the supported agent functions. 2 cited claims for orders on PolyAIPolyAI's integrations page lists "order management" and "booking & reservations" among the supported agent functions.Vendor-reported
TechCrunch reported that PolyAI's system handles order status updates and reservation management on inbound calls.Independent report
|
| Workflow evidenceReturns Illustrative scenario I bought this 12 days ago and opened the box. Can I return it? What to verify: Check the actual return window, product exclusions, and order record. A policy answer and an executed return are different capabilities. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: check whether an unopened item is inside the return window, then request a label from the order system. Confirm the label was created before saying the return is arranged, and route policy exceptions to a person. 1 cited claim for returns on AdaAda describes returns workflows that check order eligibility, offer permitted options and create a return label through connected systems.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceProduct questions Illustrative scenario Does this adapter work with my exact laptop model? What to verify: Use a current, approved compatibility source. Ask for the model when missing and distinguish documented compatibility from an assumption. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: answer whether a product works with a specific phone model from the compatibility guide. Check that the reply uses the correct product version and asks for missing details instead of inventing compatibility. 1 cited claim for product questions on AdaAda uses imported knowledge to answer questions; its documentation explains that relevant passages are retrieved from that content.Vendor-reported
| Vendor-documented URL ingestion is documented as limited to one level below the starting URL and a maximum of ten embedded pages, and the Zendesk and Gladly knowledge syncs are marked beta. Those constrain one ingestion route rather than the capability itself, so they are recorded here rather than as a gap. No independent evidence of answer quality was found, so the verdict stays unknown. 1 cited claim for product questions on PolyAIPolyAI documents curated FAQ topics, retrieval-augmented generation, and external knowledge sources ingested from URLs, files (PDF, Office, CSV, JSON, HTML and others) and helpdesk knowledge bases.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceAccount issues Illustrative scenario I lost access to my email. Change the address on my account. What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: update the signed-in customer’s contact details through an authorised account API. Verify that another customer’s records cannot be changed and that failed updates are not reported as complete. 1 cited claim for account issues on AdaAda documents account updates through external APIs and sign-in tokens for sensitive actions.Vendor-reported
| Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceComplaints Illustrative scenario I have contacted you three times and the problem is still unresolved. What to verify: Recognize the repeat complaint, retain relevant history, and route it to the right team. Do not promise compensation outside the policy. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: a customer says repeated delivery problems remain unresolved. Configure a route to the complaints team with the case details. Routing is documented; the reviewed sources do not measure successful complaint resolution or de-escalation. 1 cited claim for complaints on AdaAda documents routing to human support based on conversation context and configured handoff descriptions.Vendor-reported
| Caveat documented PolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously. 1 cited claim for complaints on PolyAIPolyAI's handoff documentation names complaints, alongside billing disputes and out-of-scope requests, as the conversation types where the agent escalates to a human rather than resolving autonomously.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceHuman handoff Illustrative scenario Please connect me to a person who can approve this exception. What to verify: Transfer to an available team with the conversation and relevant records. Outside working hours, explain the actual follow-up path rather than promise immediate contact. | Vendor-documented Illustrative scenario, not a test: a customer requests a person after an unsuccessful answer. Verify that the receiving team gets the conversation and that, outside working hours, the customer receives a clear follow-up path. 1 cited claim for human handoff on AdaAda documents live transfers, follow-up tickets, off-hours paths and error fallbacks across its handoff setup.Vendor-reported
| Caveat documented PolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9. 2 cited claims for human handoff on PolyAIPolyAI documents voice handoff via SIP REFER, SIP INVITE or SIP BYE with escalation context passed through custom X- SIP headers, a Handoff State API endpoint and a Conversations API transcript, plus chat handoff integrations for Salesforce, Zendesk, NICE CXone, Amazon Connect, Webex and Five9.Vendor-reported
PolyAI's handoff documentation states that with the default SIP REFER method "the utterance may not play before the transfer completes because the REFER fires at the same time as function execution", and that inbound SIP voicemail detection on the destination side is "not available by default" for SIP REFER, BYE or INVITE transfers.Vendor-reported
|
| Workflow evidenceSmall businesses Illustrative scenario A two-person support team wants to launch without a dedicated engineer. What to verify: Validate setup effort, existing help-desk support, required integrations, and ongoing maintenance. A small customer's story alone does not establish suitability for every small business. | Not established Illustrative buying scenario: a small shop needs only shipping FAQs and occasional order lookups. Ask Ada to demonstrate that limited scope and the work needed to maintain it. Demo-led procurement does not establish that every small business is a poor fit. No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceMid-market Illustrative scenario A growing support team needs separate queues and connected order and account systems. What to verify: Validate routing, permissions, integration ownership, and handling of each team's policies in the intended configuration. | Not established Illustrative buying scenario: a growing retailer wants email and chat support connected to an existing help desk. Evaluate the exact connectors, workflow ownership and conversation volume. Employee count alone does not establish suitability. No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. |
| Workflow evidenceEnterprise Illustrative scenario A multi-brand support organization needs controlled access across regional teams. What to verify: Validate data boundaries, audit records, escalation ownership, and the specific deployment requirements. A vendor's enterprise positioning is not proof of these controls. | Vendor-documented Illustrative buying scenario: a multi-brand support team needs shared knowledge with brand-specific policies and handoff routes. Request a demonstration of those boundaries. Enterprise positioning is documented; successful performance for that configuration is not established here. 1 cited claim for enterprise on AdaAda’s demo page explicitly targets enterprise customer-experience teams and proposes a tailored demonstration and implementation plan.Vendor-reported
| External report Gartner's cautions in the same analysis concern inflexible consumption-based pricing and an immature channel partner network. 3 cited claims for enterprise on PolyAIPolyAI positions itself as an enterprise-scale agentic dialog platform and markets to nine industries: consumer services, financial services, healthcare, hotels, insurance, restaurants, retail, telecom and utilities.Vendor-reported
