Observe.AI proudly announces its latest deployment in CMP Prism for real-time agent assist. CMP Prism is an independent, analyst-driven evaluation framework that benchmarks customer contact technology solutions against industry standards. CMP Prism is updated twice a year to reflect the latest advances in customer contact technology, provider performance, and market changes.
Observe.AI’s agent platform brings together customer-facing AI agents, frontline team AI agents, and operational AI agents into a single connected system. As customer-facing AI agents automate more mundane interactions, human agents are increasingly taking charge of moments that require judgment, empathy, exception handling, and deeper problem-solving. These interactions are high-stakes, but many frontline teams are still supported by static scripts, basic knowledge searches, or outdated tools that provide limited real-time guidance.
This latest CMP Prism refresh highlights Observe.AI as a pioneer provider, enabling CX and customer contact leaders to optimize agent enablement strategies and customer engagement outcomes.
Observe.AI Companion Agent is designed for this new operating model. It doesn’t just suggest what to say next. It listens to conversations, understands the context, guides agents through the necessary steps, displays the right information from a deep knowledge base or backend systems, triggers actions, and helps complete post-interaction tasks. The result is a more consistent experience for customers and a more supported experience for humans.
CMP Prism for Real-Time Agent Assist evaluated 16 solution providers, including Observe.AI, and categorized them into five tiers: Pioneering, Advanced, Core Performer, Up-and-coming, and Emerging. These distinctions are based on a comprehensive methodology that incorporates analyst opinion, user feedback, and real-world market data across 10 investment criteria.
“Companion Agent’s recognition in CMP Research Prism confirms what we hear from our customers every day: AI is most impactful when it enhances and empowers frontline teams,” said Swapnil Jain, CEO and co-founder of Observe.AI. “Companion Agent provides real-time, context-aware guidance to help agents navigate every customer interaction more reliably, consistently, and faster. As part of our Agentic CX platform, Companion Agent works with AI Agents for Customers and AI Agents for Operations to help organizations deliver better experiences while improving business outcomes.”

Companion Agent provides intelligent, real-time assistance through every step of the customer interaction.
- Before the conversation: Companion agents provide frontline teams with customer history, previous interactions, profile information, and intent, ensuring agents begin every engagement with the right context.
- During the conversation: Companion Agent provides contextual guidance as the conversation unfolds, uncovering relevant knowledge, driving compliance actions, identifying behavioral signals, coaching recommendations, and automating workflows.
- After the conversation: Companion Agent automatically generates editable summaries to capture critical information, categorize trends, update business systems, trigger follow-up actions, and identify coaching opportunities to continuously improve performance.
Built on agent AI rather than traditional rules-based agent assistance technology, Companion Agent is designed for rapid deployment and continuous optimization. Business teams can create and refine guidance using natural language prompts instead of complex configurations, reducing time to value from months to days while easily adapting to evolving customer needs.
“CMP Prism benchmarks solutions against industry standards, supported by CMP analysts who contextualize what matters most to your organization,” said Nicole Kyle, chief product officer at CMP. “CMP Prism was created to evaluate solution providers like Observe.AI to take the guesswork out of technical decision-making and replace vendor judgment with benchmarks backed by objective research.”
CMP Prism helps enterprise leaders and technology buyers evaluate solutions and assists providers looking to prove their position in the market. CMP is also releasing Prism across other strategic technology categories, including customer analytics, chatbots/virtual agents, automated QA/QM, workforce management, and voicebots/conversational IVR.
