The Orlando-based company is Named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Conversational AI Platforms 2022.
There’s a reason why Gartner reports are taken seriously. A leading tech analyst firm, Gartner usually monitors a specific technology very early on – right from its initial conceptual stages, and maturation and tracks the overall evolution and market adoption for many, many years before it makes any pronouncement.
Over this period of time, it publishes various reports beginning with Cool Vendors, Hype Cycle, Competitive Landscape, and finally, Magic Quadrant. The Magic Quadrant for a specific technology is one of the topmost sought-after reports for it analyses the overall market, profiles leading vendors providing that technology, and provides guidance on where these vendors stand in terms of their overall vision and ability to execute on that vision.
Although chatbots have been here for a long time now, Conversational AI or enterprise virtual assistants have become a strategic choice for large enterprises only in the recent past. According to Magnus Revang, the lead author of MQ ECAIP, “For a long time, there were no strategic choices in the market. With Covid, however, this started to change. We have seen a growth of a subcategory of platforms. Platforms capable of not only building chatbots and virtual assistants easily but operationalizing them within business units – offering no-code tooling for non-developers and non-data scientists. This is what we call Enterprise Conversational AI Platforms.“
What goes into creating a Magic Quadrant
This is the first-ever Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Conversational AI Platforms. The work began almost a year ago. Over 100 vendors were invited to answer the initial 22 pager survey. Scrutinizing from that and making the criteria stringent, only 21 made it to the cut in the final evaluation process. It took several discussions, evaluation through a number of survey answers, platform demonstrations covering a wide range of use cases, customer feedback and customer surveys, and a dedicated briefing from each of the vendors. Assessing the inputs and data received from and about each of the vendors, the Gartner MQ team ranked them all on critical capabilities and plotted them on Vision and Ability to Execute.
