These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Choosing the right models<\/li>\n<li>Doing extensive prompt engineering<\/li>\n<li>Creating evaluation frameworks<\/li>\n<li>Building memory and personalization features from scratch<\/li>\n<li>Setting up tool stacks manually<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All these processes create what AWS termed a &#8220;chasm of production readiness&#8221;, with prototypes on one side and production on the other.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where Amazon Bedrock AgentCore comes in. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/conversational-ai\/aws-makes-a-big-ai-agent-launch-demonstrates-how-it-could-benefit-customer-service\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Read more&#8230;).<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-0 mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/microsoft-boosts-contact-center-reliability-with-a-new-desktop-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Boosts Contact Center Reliability with a New Desktop App<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft has launched a new native desktop app for businesses that leverage its Dynamics 365 Contact Center.<\/p>\n<p>While the announcement isn\u2019t as headline-grabbing as agentic AI or Copilot enhancements, this one could quietly solve a major pain point: contact center reliability.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the &#8220;Desktop Companion App&#8221;, now in public preview, will help prevent dropped calls, stabilize agent workflows, and minimize session interruptions.<\/p>\n<p>In many hybrid and high-volume environments, these issues are too pervasive, with dropped customers often leading to customers calling back angry.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the new desktop app keeps agent sessions alive and stable, even when browsers crash, cookies disappear, and network gremlins strike.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the app helps to combat browser-based interruptions, which sometimes result in agents losing session data. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/contact-center\/microsoft-boosts-contact-center-reliability-with-a-new-desktop-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(Read more&#8230;).<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mt-0 mb-20\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cxtoday.com\/crm\/zoho-makes-5-major-moves-to-expand-its-ai-portfolio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoho Makes 5 Major Moves to Expand Its AI Portfolio<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Zoho has announced several new AI solutions for its ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>That ecosystem comprises AI tools integrated into the user experience, so they work in the background without the user even knowing it\u2019s AI.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, there are also default Zia Agents that cross Zoho\u2019s products.
