Genesys Launches First Agentic Virtual Agent Powered by LAMs for Enterprise CX — Genesys Cloud Services, Inc.

Event summary

Genesys introduced the industry’s first agentic virtual agent powered by large action models (LAMs) for enterprise customer experience (CX).
The new Genesys Cloud Agentic Virtual Agent enables autonomous, end-to-end resolution of customer requests across front and back-office systems.
The solution combines LAMs with enterprise-grade orchestration and governance to ensure safe, autonomous resolution at scale.
Genesys Cloud Agentic Virtual Agent is expected to be generally available globally in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 (February 1, 2026–April 30, 2026).
The launch follows a partnership with Scaled Cognition, integrating the APT-1 LAM for deterministic, action-grounded execution.

The big picture

Genesys’ launch addresses a critical gap in current self-service automation, where LLM-based virtual agents struggle with multistep workflows and complex customer needs. The shift to agentic virtual agents powered by LAMs reflects broader industry trends toward autonomous, outcome-driven customer engagement, aiming to reduce operational effort and improve reliability. This move positions Genesys as a leader in AI-powered experience orchestration, particularly for enterprises requiring scalable, compliant automation solutions.

What we're watching
