New AI-based features include real-time speech analytics, real-time inventory checks, and next-best-offer recommendations for contact center agents. While NICE continues to innovate by leveraging the latest AI breakthroughs, it is also serious about AI ethics.”

The Forrester Research report notes, “NICE Automation Finder collects and analyzes employee desktop data, suggests automations, and helps generate automations using Click to Automate.”

Once Automation Finder collects and analyses employee desktop data and suggests automations, Click to Automate transforms recommended process sequences into live operational automations, rapidly expanding the organization’s RPA footprint.
