ServiceNow has launched Autonomous CRM Engine, an AI-native tool that maps CRM processes, redesigns workflows and helps deploy ServiceNow CRM in weeks.

Talkdesk announced Talkdesk Voyager, a long-horizon orchestration product on its Customer Experience Automation platform.

The company has not given a general availability date. Customers will judge whether those journeys reach the goals Talkdesk sets.
Microsoft added a historical dashboard for the Quality Evaluation Agent in Dynamics 365 Contact Center to its roadmap. It pulls completed evaluations into one view, tracking quality scores and trends across chosen date ranges with up to two years of history. General availability is slated for March 2027.

Microsoft has been named a Leader in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant for CRM Customer Engagement Center, making it the only vendor in both that report and the CCaaS Magic Quadrant.

Salesforce Catalog is a self-updating index of how an org is built, covering objects, fields, flows, Apex, permission sets and Data 360 insights. Agents and assistants, including Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor via an MCP server, query it before answering, running as the signed-in user. It needs a Data 360 edition. Overdue: confident agents guessing field names are expensive.
Optimove has introduced an AI-led onboarding hub for new CRM marketing clients, allowing them to upload and validate customer data, configure marketing channels, and track implementation tasks themselves. Early customer Stadiobet loaded and validated its full customer dataset within two days of kickoff and launched its first campaigns on day 27.
