In practice
Building a CX agent from scratch is months your team doesn't have. Kore.ai ships more than 200 templates, so you start from a working pattern instead of a blank canvas.
Your agent needs to plug into the systems behind your support, not just chat. Kore.ai offers more than 300 integrations, so the agent reaches the data and tools it needs.
Customers call and chat, and you don't want two separate bots. Kore.ai covers both voice and chat on one enterprise platform.

| Integrations & Tool Calling | Full |
|---|---|
|
The tools and integrations layer connects external systems over HTTP, MCP, AWS Lambda, SDK invocations, the A2A protocol, sandboxed tools, OpenAPI definitions and webhooks, with circuit breakers and retry logic, and named data sources including Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft, VMware and Zendesk reached through tool definitions rather than embedded agent logic. Breadth across protocols and system classes. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Workflow Orchestration | Full |
|
Four orchestration patterns are invoked through ABL constructs and enforced by the runtime, including parallel fan-out with barrier synchronization, asynchronous delegation that survives pod restarts, and multi-intent turns mapping to several agents; supervisor routing arbitrates handoff and delegation, a pipeline classifier short-circuits the reasoning loop for high-confidence intents, and the Google A2A protocol carries cross-runtime communication to agents hosted elsewhere. The dual-brain runtime executes agentic reasoning and deterministic flows in parallel from one definition. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Knowledge Grounding & RAG | Full |
|
Search AI is the platform's knowledge retrieval layer, providing RAG, vector search, knowledge graph traversal and reranking, surfacing context to agents during reasoning, with published guidance on model selection, chunking and context-window sizing for the retrieval pipeline. A vendor-built structure the customer configures and the platform maintains. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform and Search AI documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Human Oversight & Guardrails | Full |
|
The Workflow Engine runs long-running workflows spanning minutes to days with human-in-the-loop steps and approval gates as documented primitives, guardrails are a first-class ABL construct enforced outside the model, the runtime carries multi-tier guardrails with circuit breakers and rate limits, supervisor routing is guardrail-aware so the runtime overrides an agent's chosen route when policy requires, and Arch AI surfaces its work products for human review rather than applying them silently. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Security, Identity & Governance | Full |
|
Security and governance ships SSO, role-based access control, guardrails, audit logging, encryption, key management, multi-tenancy with full tenant isolation, PII detection, identity verification and compliance reporting, on an enterprise foundation carrying PCI, SOC 2, GDPR and FedRAMP certification, with right-to-erasure handling and data minimization controls. Attestation and named customer-facing controls both documented. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Observability & Auditability | Full |
|
Reasoning-aware observability captures every reasoning step, tool call, routing decision and guardrail evaluation as structured trace data across agent delegation chains, with Deep Observability recording over 200 trace events per session and providing runtime inspection, alerting and session-level debugging across multi-agent interactions. Reconstruction of why, not reporting on what. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Memory & State Persistence | Full |
|
Memory is a formal construct in Agent Blueprint Language alongside goals, tools and guardrails, executed against a shared memory layer that coordinates state across both cognitive engines. Kore.ai documents two stores: a system-managed Session Meta Memory, and Custom Memory Stores that are persistent, JSON Schema structured, readable and writable from code tools or workflow nodes, and assigned an access scope of user-specific persisting across all that user's sessions or session-level, with retention policies setting automatic expiry. Scope and lifetime are both stated and shared stores pass structured context between agents.

|
| Deployment & Data Residency | Full |
|
Two documented deployment options, cloud SaaS or self-hosted for organizations with or compliance requirements, delivering the same platform capabilities, with the infrastructure layer pluggable across Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, AWS, on-premise installations and private VPC deployments. Customer control over where the platform runs, not a vendor architecture claim. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |

| Prebuilt Agents, Templates & Packs | Full |
|
The AI agent marketplace lists named prebuilt agents across banking (ATM Locator, Dispute and Fraud Handler), retail (Product Search, Order Management), HR (Absence Management, Screening Agent), IT (Incident Management, Access Management), sales (RFP Response Automation, Lead Analyzer), legal and finance (Contract Amendment Assistant) and customer service (Escalation Predictor, Contextual Email Responder), installed with one click, and the platform documentation describes importing marketplace agents with their predefined tools and workflows and editing any component afterwards.

|
| Triggers & Channel Coverage | Full |
|
Agents deploy across 27 channels covering web, voice, messaging, email and enterprise APIs with consistent behavior and no per-channel rebuilding, with Microsoft Teams, ServiceNow, Slack, Webex and Zoom named. Correction to the earlier basis: the platform documentation states 27 channels, not the 40 plus figure carried from the launch release. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Model Flexibility & Routing | Full |
|
Every ecosystem layer is pluggable and the customer swaps providers without rewriting agents: the supported model list names OpenAI, Anthropic, NVIDIA, Cohere and LLaMA 2 among others, with open-source and custom fine-tuned models supported through the same interface. The product documentation carries a models library where an admin adds a new model or a custom integration, a bring-your-own framework covering third-party hosted and enterprise-hosted models, per-feature model assignment, and an analytics dashboard reporting token distribution, latency and cost per model connection. Customer selection is documented, not inferred. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform and Generative AI model documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| APIs, SDKs & MCP Extensibility | Full |
|
Agent Blueprint Language is a typed, schema-driven language compiled through DSL to intermediate representation to runtime, with definitions stored as Git-native diffable YAML reviewed in pull requests and promoted by the same CI/CD practices as application code; the tools layer exposes HTTP, MCP, SDK invocations, OpenAPI, webhooks and the A2A protocol for cross-runtime agent communication including agents hosted outside the platform, all behind a public documentation site. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Testing, Debugging & Optimization | Full |
|
Agent Evals is an automated evaluation framework providing test suites, regression tracking and quality gates that run as part of the deployment pipeline, and the environment pipeline routes every agent through a staging tier where automated suites and regression checks run before a pilot tier validates behavior on limited real traffic. Compile-time validation catches broken references before deployment. The artifact under test is the customer's own agent and the results gate promotion. SourceKore.ai Agent Platform documentation; docs.kore.ai/agent-platformread 2026-09-05 |
|
| Browser & Computer Use | Not documented |
|
Agents reach external systems only through the documented tools layer, HTTP, MCP, Lambda, SDK, A2A, OpenAPI and webhooks, and reach users through 27 programmatic channels. No browser control, virtual desktop or operation of software lacking a programmatic interface appears in the platform documentation.

Recent platform changes
A Human Task node for process workflows arrived in version 1.7.0 of Kore.ai's agent platform. It pauses the workflow, notifies assignees, collects structured input through reusable forms and resumes on the chosen outcome, with deadlines, reminders and escalation.
Bears on: Workflow orchestration
View sourceArtemis v1.6.5 enables knowledge bases to extract and index mathematical formulas from PDF documents, which previously omitted them. Formula extraction is enabled by default for new knowledge bases, while existing configurations remain unchanged. Gemini Live voice channels also gain controls to enable context compression and configure both its trigger token count and target token count.
Bears on: Agent capability
View sourceKore AI for Work version 1.20.0 introduces chat sharing, archiving, project collaborators, and URL-based search alongside improved Slack support. The release also expands model support to include QWEN, adds file generation via Gemini, and splits cryptographic key rotation into distinct DEK retirement and KEK rewrap actions.

Not published · Essential, Advanced and Enterprise plans with no public prices · contact sales
hybrid
Included quota
Essential, Advanced and Enterprise plans are named without prices; Enterprise includes up to 1 GB of Search AI data ingestion by default.
What is public
Kore.ai's documentation names Essential, Advanced and Enterprise plans and explains billing units (Automation AI in 15-minute sessions, Search AI in the same sessions, Contact Center AI and Agent AI per agent seat, free credits on new accounts), but publishes no prices. The marketing pricing page returns 404 and the marketplace directs buyers to talk to an expert.
Billing mechanics
Automation AI and Search AI bill per 15-minute session (a 31-minute conversation is three sessions); Contact Center AI and Agent AI bill per agent seat; prices are quoted by sales.
Cost watchouts
Session billing in 15-minute units including inactivity; seats for Contact Center AI and Agent AI; voice and integrations add cost.
Variable cost rationale
Cost scales with conversation/session volume (Automation AI) + seats (Contact Center/Agent AI) + voice STT/TTS - production usage commonly outpaces the base subscription.
Additional watchouts
No published prices; session billing counts every 15 minutes including idle time, so long or voice conversations cost more.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)
Commercial notes
Enterprise agent platform sold through sales; the self serve per conversation rate once published in the developer docs is no longer shown.
Key ambiguities
No official prices are published; figures circulating for this vendor are third party and are not carried.
Support SLA / resale
Email/KB support (Standard); enterprise support + 'XO GPT' model; Kore.ai Academy; model/cloud-agnostic; broad channel support
Missing data
All plan prices, free credit amounts and minimums are unpublished.
