- What do Kore.ai implementation services include?
- Intent and journey design from real transcripts, Kore.ai Agent Platform virtual agent build, Contact Center AI agent assist and auto-summary, Search AI knowledge grounding, tool calls into your systems of record, guardrails and human-in-the-loop escalation, CCaaS integration with Amazon Connect, Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone or Five9, evaluation harness, agent enablement, cutover and hypercare.
- How long does a Kore.ai implementation take?
- A first production use case ships in 8–12 weeks; a full servicing portfolio runs 3–5 months in waves. A regional healthcare provider reached 38% call containment in 90 days on Kore.ai Agent Platform with Epic integration, and a national retailer reached 41% containment on Kore.ai over Genesys Cloud.
- Can you migrate our existing bots onto Kore.ai?
- Yes. We migrate from Five9 IVA, Dialogflow CX, Microsoft Copilot Studio, IBM watsonx Assistant and legacy IVR. Flows are inventoried and consolidated before they are rebuilt — we cut 92 Five9 dialog flows to 61 on Kore.ai for an investment management firm in 14 weeks with zero client-facing outage minutes and no gap in SEC/FINRA call recording.
- How much does a Kore.ai implementation cost?
- Implementation is fixed-price against a scoped intent, integration and knowledge inventory. Kore.ai licensing is negotiated separately on a conversation or session basis with add-ons for Contact Center AI and Search AI. We build the three-year TCO including CCaaS, telephony and AI consumption before you commit.
- Does Kore.ai run on top of our existing contact center platform?
- Yes — Kore.ai is deployed as an overlay on Amazon Connect, Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone or Five9 rather than a rip-and-replace. Agents keep their existing desktop; virtual agents sit in front of the queue and agent assist runs in a sidebar, so there is no console retraining.
- How do you keep Kore.ai answers accurate and compliant?
- Search AI grounds answers on maintained, entitlement-filtered sources instead of hard-coded flow content, with citation-backed responses. Guardrails cover PHI and PII redaction, authentication and step-up rules, hard escalation on clinical or fraud intents, and full audit journaling of every tool call.
- Do you provide Kore.ai managed services?
- Yes — intent and prompt tuning against live transcripts, knowledge freshness, tool and integration monitoring, release management, containment and CSAT reporting, 24/7 incident response against SLAs and quarterly value reviews against the business case.
- How is a Kore.ai engagement priced and what drives the cost?
- Implementation is fixed-price against a scoped intent, integration and knowledge inventory, while ongoing managed operations run as a monthly service tier sized to conversation volume and SLA coverage. The main cost drivers are how many intents and tool calls are in scope, how much legacy bot or IVR content must be migrated, and how deep the guardrail and audit requirements are.
- How long does it realistically take to reach a first production release?
- Most Kore.ai programs reach a first production use case in 8 to 12 weeks, starting with a pilot on one or two contained intents before wider rollout. A full servicing portfolio with multiple integrations typically runs 3 to 5 months, delivered in waves.
- How does Kore.ai compare with Amazon Connect's or Genesys Cloud's native AI for a migration?
- Kore.ai is typically the stronger choice when you need a platform-agnostic virtual agent and agent-assist layer that can overlay Amazon Connect, Genesys Cloud, NICE CXone or Five9 without replacing the underlying CCaaS, while each platform's native AI (Amazon Q, Genesys Cloud AI) is tightly coupled to that one CCaaS. We help you compare overlay flexibility, containment depth and existing platform investment before shortlisting a direction.
- What does managed support for Kore.ai cover, including coverage hours?
- Managed support covers intent and prompt tuning, Search AI knowledge freshness, tool-call and integration monitoring, and incident response, delivered under a documented SLA with 24x7 coverage available. Coverage hours and response targets are agreed in the statement of work to match your operating hours.
- What does certified Kore.ai talent cost and where is delivery based?
- Certified Kore.ai conversation designers and engineers are billed at a monthly per-person rate, with a standard notice period built into the service level agreement for ramp-down. Delivery talent is based across our Plainsboro, NJ headquarters, Hyderabad global delivery center, London and Dubai, supporting follow-the-sun coverage for global rollouts.
