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 analysts and trade press.States rest on 1 independent source across analysts and trade press. This is not the same yardstick for every agent, and that asymmetry is a known limitation.

| 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. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | 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 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. | Not established 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 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 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
| 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

What to verify: Recognize the repeat complaint, retain relevant history, and route it to the right team. Do not promise compensation outside the policy. | Not established No supporting source is recorded here. Validate it with the vendor; absence of evidence does not establish a missing capability. | 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. | 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
| 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 No supporting source is recorded here.
