Acquired — still operating
acquired by NICE Sep 2025
About
Cognigy is a Düsseldorf-born conversational AI platform for enterprise contact centers, now part of NICE after a September 2025 acquisition. Its Cognigy.AI suite covers Voice AI Agents, Digital Chat AI Agents, and an Agent Copilot that transcribes calls and suggests responses in real time, with a low-code builder aimed at non-engineers. Over 1,000 brands use it, including Bosch, Lufthansa, and Mercedes-Benz, and it was the sole Customers' Choice in Gartner Peer Insights for enterprise conversational AI in 2025. Enterprise contracts run into six figures annually, so it is priced for large operations.
