Established CX assurance platform that added agentic testing and AI governance so enterprises can validate, monitor, and control customer facing AI agents, using AI test agents to test other agents across voice and digital channels and AI Trust modules to catch compliance, bias, and hallucination risks before customers do.

Cyara is an established customer experience assurance company based in Austin, Texas, positioning itself as the global leader in AI powered CX assurance. Its thesis is that enterprises are deploying conversational and agentic AI in the contact center faster than the tooling to trust it has kept up: by its figures, sixty two percent of enterprises are experimenting with AI agents for CX but fewer than fifteen percent have any assurance framework, and traditional scripted tests cannot handle non deterministic AI, so failures scale faster than the agents themselves. As CEO Sushil Kumar frames it, the enterprises that actually deploy AI agents are the ones who can prove those agents work before customers find out they do not.

On a platform that already consolidated AI validation, real time monitoring, and no code test automation, including Pulse 360 monitoring across hundreds of carriers and an AI Trust suite that detects hallucinations and brand damaging behavior, Cyara added three agentic capabilities in March 2026. Agentic AI Testing for Voice and IVR uses AI test agents to test other AI agents, simulating customer interactions across many scenarios, exercising branching logic, comparing expected against actual responses, and catching failures and regressions before deployment and in production that static scripts miss. AI Trust enhancements add two governance modules, Compliance and Bias, extending existing validation for accuracy, misuse, and regulatory compliance to flag ethical and legal risks before they reach customers. A Recommendation Engine lets QA testers design and optimize prompt strategies and build tests without specialized AI or prompt engineering skills. Together these give enterprises a way to validate, monitor, and control customer facing AI agents so assurance matches the level of autonomy being granted.

Cyara fits enterprises deploying voice and digital AI agents in the contact center that need continuous testing, monitoring, and governance rather than one off scripts. It is an assurance and testing layer, not an agent builder, so it is a weaker fit for teams looking to build or run the customer facing agents themselves.

Integrations

Operates as one assurance platform across the CX stack, spanning CCaaS, UCaaS, CRM, and AI agent frameworks, with Pulse 360 providing AI driven monitoring across more than four hundred carriers in over one hundred forty countries. It validates and monitors AI agents across both voice and digital channels before and after they interact with customers.

In practice

An enterprise wants to put an AI agent on live customer calls but cannot prove it will handle conversations correctly. Cyara's AI test agents exercise it across scenarios and branching logic, catching failures and regressions before customers do.

A CX team worries about compliance and bias in a generative voice agent. Cyara's AI Trust Compliance and Bias modules flag ethical and legal risks before they reach customers.

A QA tester without prompt engineering skills needs to build agent tests. Cyara's Recommendation Engine designs and optimizes prompt strategies and accelerates test development for them.

Pricing

No public pricing; enterprise contracts are quoted through sales

not published; enterprise contract likely scaled by channels, agents tested, or usage

Contact onlyMedium variable cost

What is public

Nothing numeric. The product suite, capabilities, and customer positioning are public, but no rates are published.

Billing mechanics

Enterprise sales led motion for a modular assurance suite. The new agentic testing capabilities are available with early enterprise deployments underway, suggesting scoped enterprise agreements.

Cost watchouts

As a modular suite spanning testing, monitoring (Pulse 360), AI Trust governance, and the new agentic modules, total cost depends on which modules and channels are licensed.

Variable cost rationale

No public rates exist. An assurance suite typically scales cost with channels, test and monitoring volume, and module selection rather than pure token usage, but the company publishes no mechanics, so treat exposure as unquantified and quoted per deal.

Additional watchouts

With multiple modules across testing, monitoring, and governance, confirm which are included versus add ons and how the new agentic testing modules are priced.

Sales call required

Key ambiguities

Whether pricing scales by channels, number of agents or flows tested, monitoring footprint, or module selection.
