ServiceNow, an AI platform for business transformation, has agreed to acquire Cuein, a leader in AI native conversation data analysis and insights. And Cuein will help advance the effectiveness of ServiceNow AI Agents by enhancing their ability to understand, process, and transform data from siloed customer interactions across different channels and systems into a comprehensive analysis with actionable insights. This acquisition continues to fuel ServiceNow’s roadmap in agentic AI and reinforces its role as the AI platform for business transformation.
Customers now engage with brands through various channels – chatbots, email, phone, and in‑person – leading to several conversations. However, companies often struggle to understand what actions were taken to resolve issues, causing a lack of organizational knowledge and slow service experiences.
The ability of generative AI and autonomous AI agents to process vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, identifying what customers want and which actions to take to resolve their problems, will enhance decision‑making and make for more seamless customer experiences.
Eventually, companies will offer service through AI-enabled channels, enabling communication through text and multimedia. Cuein is accelerating this change by bridging fragmented conversations, interpreting them in context, and enabling AI agents to act intelligently across systems to drive productivity and innovation.
ServiceNow’s Workflow Data Fabric utilizes data from all corners of the enterprise, creating a unified, intelligent layer of insights that powers productivity and more informed decision‑making. And Cuein’s AI-based native conversation insights complement this by analyzing every customer interaction from any input source—whether with a bot or a human—and transforming them into actionable insights. And with an integrated data approach, ServiceNow helps make sure the data works in concert to accelerate business outcomes, enabling organizations to deliver exceptional service at scale.
Cuein’s is able to measure conversations between humans dynamically and between AI agents and adapt in real‑time, creating a continuous feedback loop that enables organizations to address customer dissatisfaction and improve experiences at scale proactively. Companies would no longer have to wait for separate intent or impact analyses after customer interactions by utilizing Cuein’s inferred Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) scores for each exchange, they receive real‑time results from AI Agents’ actions.
These features will enable ServiceNow AI Agents to break down complex data and tasks more effectively, with immediate learnings applied across multiple AI agents to meet evolving customer needs.
Cuein was founded in 2021 by Mayukh Bhaowal and Vignesh Ganapathy. The company is headquartered in Belmont, California, and is backed by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Khosla Ventures, and Webb Investment Network.
ServiceNow expects to close the acquisition of Cuein in Q1 of 2025. The terms of the deal were undisclosed.
