xApp Use Cases

The xApps can be used in two different ways:

Multichannel

You can use an xApp in addition to the main communication channels, such as voice, Webchat Widget, Teams, WhatsApp, and others. The full list is provided in Supported Channels.

To learn how it works, follow Build an xApp with multiple channels.

Power up AI Agents

Enhance the capabilities of AI Agents by supporting use cases that go beyond the limitations of the current communication channel. This improvement helps AI Agents to handle more complex tasks and provide better assistance to users.

Power up human agents

Enable AI Copilot to suggest xApps to human agents. These xApps can be shared with users to simplify tasks like form completion or perform actions that the agent cannot handle alone, such as fingerprint authentication or collecting payments.

Standalone

You can use an xApp as a standalone application. The xApp can be built to address specific tasks or processes that don't require a conversation. These xApps can be accessed via a URL, allowing users to interact with them directly without the need for another communication channel.

To learn how it works, follow Create a Standalone xApp.
