Introducing the Crescendo platform
The Crescendo platform
The Crescendo platform powers both voice and messaging assistants, enabling them to engage in meaningful customer conversations. It also drives our CX Insights application, which provides Voice of Customer analysis and business insights for all conversations handled by Crescendo.
LLM Manager
The Crescendo platform features an LLM Manager, allowing our architecture to leverage the most suitable AI technology available. To date, we’ve integrated LLM services from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic to optimize price-performance across various use cases. We’ll continue to integrate additional models as we further enhance the platform’s capabilities.
Domains
We carefully combine the potential of foundational AI services with three distinct knowledge domains, to ensure our platform delivers exceptional customer experiences:
- Client Domain
- CX Domain
- Vertical Domain
Client Domain
The Crescendo platform directs foundational AI models to conduct sales or customer support conversations within the client domain. This is the heart of your business – your products, services, and the specific information customers need. Think of it as the essential training manual for a new CX representative. A common source for this information is an in-house knowledge base, but it could be sourced from a more loosely organized set of materials such as product manuals or website content.
CX Domain
This domain shapes the personality and goals of your customer interactions. Generative AI models are remarkably adaptable, and we configure them to reflect your brand’s unique voice and values. The CX domain sets the business objective for the experience, such as lead qualification or technical support, and describes the desired style of interaction. Whether you want a focus on friendly problem-solving or a more lighthearted approach, the CX domain ensures a consistent and satisfying experience for every customer.
Vertical Domain
Lastly, our deep industry experience provides invaluable context for your customer interactions. If you operate in the retail sector, the Crescendo platform draws insights from proven retail customer service techniques. If your focus is technical support, we’ll incorporate field-tested strategies to make troubleshooting efficient and clear. Consider it the equivalent of hiring CX professionals who already have a solid understanding of your industry’s needs and expectations, boosting customer satisfaction right from the start.
CX professionals: A full-service solution
Crescendo offers a comprehensive CX solution that seamlessly blends our platform with our in-house CX professionals, ensuring your customers receive exceptional support. For many clients, we implement fully automated Tier 1 interactions using our platform, providing instant, multilingual support around the clock. When needed, we offer smooth escalation to our trained CX professionals for Tier 2 assistance. To maintain a consistent experience, our team members access the same knowledge base that powers the AI.
Continuous improvement
This innovative tech-human partnership gives us unprecedented insight into every customer interaction. We view all Tier 2 interactions as opportunities to enhance and refine the Crescendo platform. And our CX professionals have a dual role. They deliver excellent customer experiences, and they actively contribute to our platform’s development. This approach creates career growth opportunities for our team, and ensures our entire organization remains focused on continuously improving customer experiences.
Business insights
The final piece of the Crescendo platform is our Business Insights dashboard.
We believe in complete transparency. We provide 100% transcription and customer satisfaction analysis, supporting our quality guarantee. If we fall short of your service expectations, we offer account credits. Beyond individual interactions, we see your CX conversations as a trove of valuable business intelligence. The Crescendo platform analyzes them to inform your strategic decisions. For example, it can summarize the most common reasons for product returns, or highlight frequent product issues that lead to customer complaints. This analysis empowers our clients to make data-driven decisions focused on customer satisfaction and business growth.
Some final thoughts
We all know that the integration of generative AI into CX heralds big changes in technology and the workforce. Crescendo is dedicated to bringing forward the best of these changes, finding the balance between AI-driven solutions and the irreplaceable value of human expertise. At our core, our mission is to:
- Elevate customer experiences worldwide: Deliver consistently high-quality service everywhere.
- Reduce the cost and expand access to excellent CX: Make exceptional customer support accessible to businesses of all sizes.

This is what makes Crescendo special. We look forward to sharing more with you as we grow, and extend our heartfelt gratitude to our early customers for their collaborative efforts in refining our offering.
