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
The independent evidence behind these states comes mainly from practitioner forums and buyer reviews.States rest on 1 independent source across practitioner forums and buyer reviews. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.

| Kore.ai documents two deployment models for its agent platform: browser-based cloud SaaS requiring no installation, and a self-hosted on-premises option for compliance-driven organisations.Vendor-reported
|
| Channels | Decagon’s homepage lists chat, email and voice. SMS appears in its Curology customer story; confirm whether that channel is available for your proposed deployment.Vendor-reported
| Kore.ai's channel documentation lists digital channels (Slack, LINE, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, Messenger, Twilio SMS, Telegram, Zendesk, Instagram, Genesys, Genesys Open Messaging, Email), voice channels (Realtime LLM Voice, Pipeline Voice, VXML IVR, Genesys Audio Connector, AudioCodes), SDK channels (Web SDK, API, Mobile SDK), webhooks, and the AG-UI and Agent-to-Agent protocols.Vendor-reported
|
| Languages | The voice page advertises 70+ languages, automatic detection and switching. Confirm language support for each required channel and evaluate real conversations in those languages.Vendor-reported
| Unknown |
| Help desk and CRM integrations | The integration page names Salesforce, Intercom and Zendesk for tickets and customer data, and Amazon Connect and RingCentral for telephony.Vendor-reported

|
| Knowledge sources | Decagon documents knowledge synchronization from Confluence, Contentful and Kustomer.Vendor-reported
| Kore.ai documents an ingestion pipeline of extraction, chunking (fixed-size, semantic or sliding-window), enrichment, embedding and storage, with hybrid semantic and keyword search, re-ranking and permission filtering applied before chunks reach the agent.Vendor-reported

|
| Target customer size | Decagon presents an enterprise offering and publishes customer stories for Chime, Notion and Rippling. That focus does not establish a minimum team size or exclude smaller deployments.Vendor-reported
| CX Today reported Kore.ai as targeting large regulated enterprises in banking, healthcare and retail, with prebuilt applications intended for rapid deployment in those sectors.Independent report
|
| Vendor-reported performance claims | Decagon reports a 65% reduction in support operating costs at Curology. This is a customer-specific vendor claim, not a resolution rate or a benchmark result; the page does not provide a common basis for cross-vendor comparison.Vendor-reported
| Kore.ai's AI for Service page reports unnamed customer outcomes including 95% AI agent accuracy with 75% automated interactions and $97M annual cost reduction at a retail bank, 94% of contacts handled by AI agents with a 74% reduction in escalations and 65% self-service completion at a financial services firm, and a 25% reduction in average handle time at an e-commerce company.Vendor-reported
|
| 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 evaluation: ask about a duplicate subscription charge. Verify access to the billing record, policy for credits and approvals, and whether the final action is recorded in the billing system. 1 cited claim for billing on DecagonDecagon’s technology page lists billing management, plan upgrades and account updates. It does not specify which billing operations are prebuilt for a particular payment or subscription system.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 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 evaluation: a customer requests an address change after dispatch. Check the carrier and order-system state, then distinguish an allowed update from a request that needs human help. 1 cited claim for orders on DecagonDecagon’s Curology case study lists shipment-status checks, order replacements and shipment cancellation or postponement. These are specific examples from Curology’s configured service workflows.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 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 evaluation: return one item from a discounted bundle. Check eligibility, refund calculation, approval rules and the recorded return state. A refund request alone is not proof that a physical return was completed. 1 cited claim for returns on DecagonDecagon’s retail article describes answering return-eligibility questions and taking actions through systems such as Shopify while following company policies. It does not define a universal policy for refunds or exchanges.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 evaluation: ask whether a plan includes a feature and whether that feature works in a particular integration. Check that the answer uses current product documentation and distinguishes missing information from a confirmed limitation. 1 cited claim for product questions on DecagonDecagon’s technology offering describes surfacing relevant documentation during onboarding and troubleshooting. This supports a documented product-information workflow, not a measured accuracy result.Vendor-reported
| Vendor-documented No independent, non-vendor evidence of answer quality on product questions was found during this check, so this area is evidenced by vendor documentation only. 1 cited claim for product questions on Kore.aiKore.ai documents knowledge ingestion from file uploads (PDF, DOCX, TXT, CSV, MD, XLSX, JSON, HTML, up to 100 MB per file), web crawling of up to 1,000 pages per batch, and enterprise connectors, retrieved at query time by hybrid semantic-plus-keyword search with re-ranking.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 evaluation: a user who cannot sign in requests an email-address change. Verify identity checks, permission boundaries and escalation when verification fails. 1 cited claim for account issues on DecagonDecagon’s financial-services page lists password resets, balance inquiries and dispute workflows. Those examples require a configured identity and account-access flow; the page does not prove that a given deployment implements it correctly.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 evaluation: a customer repeats an unresolved refund complaint. Check recognition of prior attempts, escalation rules and the promised follow-up. A sentiment flag alone does not resolve the issue. 1 cited claim for complaints on DecagonWatchtower documents identifying frustration and other conversation flags for team review. This is monitoring capability; the source does not demonstrate an agent completing a complaint remedy.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 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. | External report Illustrative evaluation: request a human after an unsuccessful troubleshooting step. Check queue routing, transcript transfer, repeated questions and the offline fallback. 2 cited claims for human handoff on DecagonDecagon documents live-chat escalation, email handoff and voice transfer to human agents.Vendor-reported
Krishan Y.’s August 12, 2026 review says their team can step in when human attention is needed. This corroborates takeover in one self-reported deployment, without measuring routing accuracy or waiting time.Independent report
| External report The same CX Today piece flags context preservation across agent handoffs as the thing buyers should verify; Kore.ai's own documentation lists missing conversation_history and incomplete on_human_complete handlers as implementation failure points. 2 cited claims for human handoff on Kore.aiKore.ai documents escalation to a human agent that passes session variables and conversation history via a context_for_human block, converting routing metadata to SIP headers on voice channels and forwarding it through the provider's API on digital channels.Vendor-reported
CX Today reported that Kore.ai's agent platform supports orchestration patterns including handoff and escalation across channels, and quoted the design position that handing off to a human is part of the journey rather than a failure state.Independent report
|
| 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 The reviewed sources do not establish suitability for every small team. Illustrative buying scenario: a two-person support team needs one channel and basic FAQ answers. Ask what setup, integration access and ongoing maintenance that scope requires. 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 Enterprise marketing does not exclude mid-market use. Illustrative buying scenario: a growing subscription business needs account updates and refunds. Confirm the specific connectors, implementation effort and responsibility for maintaining policies. 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: several brands share a support operation but use different policies. Evaluate permissions, policy separation, reporting and escalation under that actual structure. 1 cited claim for enterprise on DecagonDecagon publishes customer stories for companies including Chime, Notion and Rippling. These are vendor-published examples of enterprise use, not independent confirmation of every security, scale or workflow requirement.Vendor-reported
| External report Kore.ai documents its agent platform as available both as browser-based cloud SaaS and as a self-hosted on-premises deployment aimed at compliance-driven organisations, with multi-tenancy and horizontal scalability. 2 cited claims for enterprise on Kore.aiKore.ai documents its agent platform as available both as browser-based cloud SaaS and as a self-hosted on-premises deployment aimed at compliance-driven organisations, with multi-tenancy and horizontal scalability.Vendor-reported
CX Today reported that Kore.ai's customer base sits in regulated industries such as banking, healthcare and retail, and that in regulated environments the vendor blends probabilistic AI with deterministic rules rather than operating fully autonomously.Independent report
|
| Industry evidenceRetail and e-commerce | Vendor-documented Decagon publishes a retail offering describing order and return actions through systems such as Shopify. The source is the vendor's own; it names no retailer and reports no outcome. 1 cited claim for retail and e-commerce on DecagonDecagon’s retail article describes answering return-eligibility questions and taking actions through systems such as Shopify while following company policies. It does not define a universal policy for refunds or exchanges.Vendor-reported
