Conversational AI Platforms

Conversational AI Platforms Reviews and Ratings

What are Conversational AI Platforms?

Gartner defines conversational AI platforms (CAIPs) as SaaS products that primarily enable the development of applications simulating human conversation across multiple channels and media. CAIPs leverage composite AI, including generative AI (GenAI) and natural language technologies. Conversations can use a mix of modalities such as text, voice and visual content. To support the building of conversational applications, platforms provide extensive coding options, from pro-code to no-code. Application areas include chatbots, virtual assistants (VAs) and conversational AI (CAI) agents.

CAIPs are used to create, deploy and manage AI-driven conversational interfaces. These platforms enable businesses to develop VAs and conversational AI Agents that facilitate both customer-facing and internal interactions through pro-code/low-code/no-code tools.

CAIPs empower businesses to centralize and democratize the development and management of multiple, diverse CAI initiatives, leading to more cohesive and efficient operations. The blend of capabilities provided by CAIPs is distinctive compared to those offered by other CAI solutions, such as targeted extensions for CAI found in other enterprise applications (e.g., CRM systems, contact center platforms) or stand-alone GenAI-native apps. In comparison, CAIPs are a better fit for strategic and scalable enterprise-grade CAI adoption.

Features of Conversational AI Platforms

Updated September 2025

Mandatory Features:

  • Analytics module: Dedicated tools, including dashboards, to collect, monitor and analyze performance data to get meaningful and actionable insight for reporting, oversight and improvement purposes, which is key for the overall app life cycle management.

  • Coding options: CAIPs provide multiple coding options, which may include low-code, no-code, GenAI-assisted and pro-code. Low-code, no-code and GenAI-assisted tools support rapid application development, deployment, execution, testing and management using declarative, high-level programming abstractions via dedicated graphical UIs (GUIs) or GenAI-driven assistants. Pro-code tools enable the use of scripting and programming languages, such as Java or Python, to develop highly configured functionalities and integrations, giving technical users access to deep configuration and customization of the CAI applications.

  • Support for LLM prompt engineering: Support for LLM prompt engineering via dedicated low-code/no-code modules or embedded functionalities. Prompt engineering is the discipline of providing inputs (e.g., in the form of text or images), to GenAI models to specify and confine the set of responses the model can produce. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is a common composite prompt engineering architecture. It includes GenAI content-anomaly guardrails.

  • Workflow building: GUIs for visual conversational or nonconversational workflow building, including tools to easily manage any relevant fulfillment logic during the dialogues. The resulting scripted workflows should be able to work in combination with, and back when appropriate, agentic AI planning and execution features, if those are available (see “Common Features”).

  • Data security and privacy controls: Dedicated functionalities and tools to handle privacy, enterprise compliance and security aspects in the platform itself, as well as when building and deploying the CAI app and at runtime.

  • Integration with back-end systems and data sources: Tooling meant to set up or personalize communication with critical back-end systems, such as services (e.g., cloud services, AI frameworks), data sources (e.g., CRM, customer data platform) or applications (e.g., contact center as a service, martech, and analytics and business intelligence). It includes natural language query (NLQ) functionalities to interface with underlying BI systems in natural language.

  • Composite multilingual NLP: Predefined and customizable pipelines of techniques that allow the processing of the user’s natural language leveraging the multilayer composition of, for example, rule-based and machine learning techniques, including large language models (LLMs).
