Zoom used Zoomtopia 2026 to launch a Unified Context Layer, new customer service tools, and wider access for third party AI agents. Together, they show how the company wants conversations to trigger action, and what teams must control before AI takes on more work.
As event season fills calendars and research reports start landing in inboxes, Five9, Arkose Labs, and ContactBabel point to the same contact center AI reality: adoption is accelerating, but trust, escalation, accuracy, and workforce readiness now decide what works.

Salesforce has agreed to acquire Braze for $5.66B, adding real-time customer engagement to its CRM, data, AI, and content stack. But Constellation Research’s Liz Miller argues the deal is really about one missing piece: the execution engine that turns customer insight into action.

Zoom has unveiled a Unified Context Layer at Zoomtopia 2026, giving virtual and human agents a shared, real-time view of customer history. The move could reduce repeated explanations, while pushing Zoom further into the race to make AI agents genuinely useful.
