Wildix rolls out embedded agentic AI for UCaaS
UCaaS provider offers real-time, codeless automation with shared memory, native privacy controls and ‘proven’ return on investment, live across more than 1,000 environments
A recent study from professional services firm KPMG forecast that agentic artificial intelligence (AI) will autonomously resolve as many as 80% of customer service issues by 2029, leading to a 30% reduction in operational costs, and to bring that future forward, unified communications as a service (UCaaS) provider Wildix has launched what it claims is the industry’s first fully embedded agentic AI layer for UCaaS.
The company says it has spent years building AI features designed for real business use cases, from live call summaries and multilingual support to headset-triggered in-store alerts and sales coaching. The release is attributed with consolidating those innovations into a single automation layer that can scale without disrupting daily operations or introducing third-party complexity.
It is fundamentally designed to reduce overflow, as well as speed up response through contextual automation, shared memory and “codeless” design. Wildix added that it can prove its value from the start, delivering return on investment (ROI) from day one. “Organisations are under pressure to accelerate service, reduce costs and improve responsiveness,” said Dimitri Osler, Wildix co-founder and chief information officer. “This release is designed to meet those expectations immediately. Our AI doesn’t just assist. It executes, adapts and integrates natively into existing workflows with zero disruption.”
The AI is attributed with automating the high-frequency, high-friction tasks that slow teams down – scheduling, call routing, follow-ups and FAQs, while maintaining what Wildix assured would be “full context” across every interaction.
Wildix says the product is designed to adapt to how each user organisation operates. The AI layer automates interactions across voice, chat, SMS, WhatsApp and web, without relying on static scripts or bolted-on bots.
The system interprets language, references past exchanges and applies contextual logic to guide each decision. Modular by design, the system can be tailored to specific workflow such as routing calls in public services, handling appointments in healthcare, or managing call surges in retail. Configuration happens through a visual no-code studio, making deployment fast, repeatable and scalable for partners and customers alike.
Other key capabilities include multilingual support across voice and chat; sentiment-aware escalation to route complex or emotional cases to humans; native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, WhatsApp and Make.com; omnichannel deployment, including browser, mobile, headsets and embeddable widgets; persistent memory across agents, channels and sessions; and General Data Protection Regulation-aligned architecture with transcription engines separated from large language models to protect personally identifiable information.

Early deployment has seen the Valencian Community Football Federation in Spain use Wildix AI to absorb seasonal surges in fan inquiries, including ticketing, schedules and matchday updates. The system handles tens of thousands of contacts during peak events, without requiring year-round staffing.
“We saw the demand was going to grow before it became a problem,” said the federation’s IT manager, Jaime Mestre. “With Wildix and the support of our Wildix Leader Network Gold Partner, we’ve created a system that understands our members, responds instantly and gives our staff time to focus on what really matters.”
