Frequently asked questions
How is Cognigy different from Intercom Fin or Sierra?
Intercom/Sierra target digital-native CX. Cognigy targets legacy contact centers with deep telephony, IVR migration, and on-prem deploy — less SaaS-native, more enterprise-integration-heavy.
Can I run Cognigy on-prem?
Yes — on-premise and private-cloud deployments are available, which is key for regulated industries (banking, telecoms, government) that can't send conversation data to public cloud LLM providers.
What LLMs does it support?
Cognigy is LLM-agnostic: OpenAI (via Azure for enterprise), Anthropic, Google Vertex, and self-hosted open-weight models. Customers typically route different intents to different models for cost/quality control.
