CTO, CPO, CCO, Talkdesk. I build products and deliver successful outcomes for customers. We are transforming Customer Experience with AI.

Patient demand is outgrowing traditional staffing models. In my latest piece for the @Forbes Technology Council ( https://t.co/rF8qPKapTY ), I dive into why the shift toward a human and AI hybrid workforce is both a technology and an operational redesign challenge.

Traditional IVRs and static bots break the moment an anxious patient deviates from a linear script. Today, agentic AI can handle complex, multi turn conversations. However, most health systems aren't nearly as prepared for this transition as they think because their data remains fragmented across EMRs, CRMs, and contact center tools.

@Talkdesk Healthcare Experience Cloud is not just a contact center platform. It is a purpose built vertical solution engineered to securely bridge the gap between clinical data (like Epic and Oracle Cerner) and AI orchestration. By providing deep integration out of the box, it gives AI agents the context they need to be useful while ensuring strict healthcare compliance and governance.

🪄 QM Assist + Copilot:
Quality Management is getting a nice productivity boost to help QA teams scale their impact across hybrid operations. Admins can now instantly transform manually written evaluation questions into highly optimized, structured prompts tailored for AI scoring consistency.

By infusing intelligence into planning and quality assurance, we are making the hybrid contact center more autonomous, and effortless to manage.

We continue to expand on our vision for Hybrid Workforce with another important upgrade of our Workforce Management (WFM) and Quality Management (QM) offerings using the power of @Talkdesk Copilot platform.

📝 WFM + Copilot:
Resource planners shouldn't spend their mornings buried in granular interval data trying to spot anomalies. Talkdesk Copilot now automatically generates AI-powered text narratives directly on the forecasting page, instantly flagging volume deviations, trends, and anomalies in plain language so planners can optimize hybrid schedules on the fly.

Get full traceability (workflow, agent, component, channel, version) in one place with the evolution of our AI Conversation Markers report; now unifying Autopilot and AI Agent Interactions. Before this, if something went wrong mid-conversation, pinpointing where and why meant digging across disconnected views. This means faster debugging, cleaner audits, and the confidence to keep expanding your AI coverage without flying blind.

We have rolled out a major upgrade to the @Talkdesk Knowledge Management platform. Our internal benchmark shows significant improvement to the quality and reliability of answers provided by Talkdesk Autopilot and Copilot.

Documents up to 50 MB now index end-to-end. Tables (SLA matrices, policy grids, product specs) are fully searchable across keyword, semantic, and RAG. Every connector (internal or external) runs through the same modern pipeline. When Copilot or Autopilot surfaces an answer, you can trust it's drawing from your complete knowledge base, not a partial slice of it.

AI Agent Evaluation & Observability

We ship powerful CX AI Agents. Now we’re giving teams enterprise-grade tools to test and monitor them properly.
- Realistic eval with regression testing before prod
- Full Session History for observability
- See exactly how agents behave in the wild

Trust at scale starts here.

[Munil Shah @munilsh]

As CTO, one thing keeps me up at night: AI agents moving fast into production… without enough testing and visibility. Last week’s @Talkdesk releases tackle exactly that. From smarter agent evaluation to everyday agent productivity wins. Quick breakdown 🧵

[Munil Shah @munilsh]

One of the biggest gaps we see in the market today is that teams are deploying AI agents without a rigorous way to evaluate behavior, reliability, tool usage, and customer outcomes at scale.

Nan Zhao from our AI Engineering team wrote a blog explaining how @Talkdesk's latest release for AI Agent Evaluation approaches this problem — from realistic datasets and multi-turn simulations to guardrails, regression testing, and operational metrics that go beyond simple “deflection” rates.

We believe it’s among the best AI Agent Eval tools in the market. As AI agents become core to customer experience, evaluation becomes the foundation for trust.

@AzureSupport - we are impacted by the OpenAI outage on US East. Do you have a timeline for resolution? Wondering if we should failover.
