Cresta review

The leader in real-time AI guidance for voice and chat agents to improve performance.

Verdict

Cresta distinguishes itself by focusing primarily on real-time agent augmentation, using AI to listen to conversations and provide on-screen guidance to improve performance, making it the leader in the agent-assist category.

What customers praise

Its ability to analyze live conversations and prompt agents with best-practice responses, compliance checklists, and knowledge base articles is unparalleled.

What customers criticise

Cresta is heavily focused on augmenting human agents rather than autonomous resolution, and its high-touch, enterprise-focused sales model makes it inaccessible for smaller teams.

Best for
