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 2 independent sources 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.

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.

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.

Vendor-documented

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

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.

Workflow evidenceAccount issues

What to verify: Follow the approved identity-recovery process before accessing or changing account data. Escalate when identity cannot be verified.

Not established

Described as vertical capability at launch; no measured outcome data located, and no equivalent vendor doc page was fetched for this area.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Workflow evidenceSmall businesses

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.

External report

Gartner's cautions in the same analysis concern inflexible consumption-based pricing and an immature channel partner network.
