What Genesys Cloud Agentic Virtual Agent is
Genesys Cloud Agentic Virtual Agent is a paid virtual-agent offering for resolving customer tasks across journeys while preserving context across channels. Agents use large action models to plan and execute multi-step workflows with approved tools and guardrails. They can be configured in Genesys Cloud AI Studio, combining voice and digital interactions with actions across back-office systems. No-code design, unified context, and cross-channel orchestration support automation across those channels. When information is missing, circumstances go off script, or context changes, agents can re-plan and select another action. Genesys says autonomous actions are planned, validated, and logged, with explainable decisions and auditable outcomes; agents can also hand off context to people and escalate when needed. Supported channels include voice, email, web chat, SMS, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, X direct messages, Apple Messages for Business, and open messaging. Virtual agents are included in all four Genesys Cloud CX editions. Listed annual-billing prices are $75 a year for CX 1, $115 a year for CX 2, $155 a year for CX 3, and $240 a year for CX 4. Certain features require AI Experience tokens, and usage-based pricing may apply.
