AI is fundamentally reshaping how we communicate and work. We’re seeing it everywhere – from our daily workflows to the way we interact with customers.
What’s emerging is a clear shift in the market: from conversations to outcomes. Communication has evolved beyond multichannel engagement – Voice, Video and Messaging – into a new era where AI-driven platforms are expected to:
- Boost productivity
- Optimise efficiency
- Accelerate decision-making
At the heart of this transformation is Agentic AI
So, what makes Agentic AI so powerful in communications? At RingCentral, they believe it starts with voice intelligence – the richest and most nuanced form of communication data. Voice captures much more than words; it conveys emotion, urgency, intent, confidence and subtle cues that drive deeper understanding.
Think about how work actually gets done in your organisation. Strategic decisions are born from in-depth conversations. Customer relationships are built on trust through voice. Problems are solved through real-time feedback and collaboration thrives through synchronised communication – not just through structured workflows or data entry.
RingCentral brings over 20 years of voice expertise into an AI-first context – delivering meaningful outcomes across every industry and every worker type.
But RingCentral is more than just a communications platform. They’re building the AI foundation for modern work – from empowering contact centres and enabling team collaboration to streamlining workflows. The RingCentral AI platform is engineered to create meaningful experiences – for your customers and your team.
RingCentral define these experiences through 3 key pillars:
- Intelligent – Real-time AI that enables smarter, faster work with better outcomes.
- Connected – A unified platform for Voice, Video, Messaging and Contact Centre, all integrated with your existing tools.
- Effortless – Seamless, intuitive solutions that reduce complexity – not add to it.
Their goal? Helping you do more with less – at scale.
Introducing AIR – the AI Receptionist
Later this year, RingCentral will be launching AIR (AI Receptionist), their first fully integrated AI phone agent, built right into the RingCentral business phone system. No bolt-ons. No extra tools. Just out-of-the-box intelligence at the frontline of your business.
What makes AIR exceptional is its ease of use – no IT teams required, no complex setup. With a simple onboarding process, anyone can deploy AIR while freeing up your technical teams for more strategic initiatives.
Think of AIR as your always-on, never-off-duty digital front desk. It handles routine questions with natural, human-like responses, understands context and routes calls accurately – helping customers get what they need quickly, without the wait or frustration. No more peak-time delays or missed after-hours calls.
And while AIR is transforming the front desk, RingCX is redefining the Contact Centre. Built natively with AI, RingCX delivers customer experiences that are not only intelligent – but effortless.
RingCentral are already seeing real ROI:
- 29% increase in customer sentiment
- Real-time insights
- Smart routing
- Guided agent assistance
And like AIR, RingCX is easy to deploy and manage – with embedded AI elevating every interaction.
Time to Rethink the Front Desk
Ask yourself:
- How many potential customers are lost due to missed calls?
- What happens to calls after hours?
- How do you manage overflow?
- What’s your average response time to voicemail messages?
- Are you capturing every opportunity?
AIR is already available in the U.S. and Canada—and purpose-built for compliance-heavy industries like healthcare. It supports HIPAA compliance with encryption, access controls and audit logging for safe, secure patient communication.
AIR is your 24/7 front desk—answering every call, every time, handling common queries, routing complex requests and even sending follow-up messages.
AI is also transforming RingCentral Contact Centres with tools like:
- AI Agent Assist
- AI Interaction Analytics (customer insight)
- AI Quality Management (agent performance)
Together, they provide a comprehensive view of your customer and employee experience.
At RingCentral, their AI solutions are not just about building smarter tech – they’re about creating tools that connect, empower and elevate your business.
