Five9 is making a major investment in the future of AI-powered customer experience with its announced $325 million acquisition of Level AI, an AI-native customer experience platform. The acquisition will expand Five9’s Genius CX platform with advanced AI capabilities, including agent assistance, automated customer interactions, conversation intelligence, and analytics that turn customer conversations into actionable business insights. Five9 and Level AI have worked together since 2022, and the acquisition will allow Five9 to bring these capabilities to its more than 4,000 customers while expanding its reach into organizations looking to adopt AI without necessarily replacing their existing contact center platforms.
This acquisition highlights a growing trend in the CCaaS market: AI is becoming an increasingly important part of the customer experience, extending well beyond traditional call routing and workforce management. Businesses are looking for ways to improve agent performance, automate routine interactions, support digital customer engagement, and gain better visibility into customer sentiment and service quality. As providers continue to invest in these capabilities, organizations will have more options for modernizing their contact centers. The challenge is determining which AI tools and platforms deliver the greatest value for their specific business needs.
