Sierra review

Sierra is one of the most capable platforms for large enterprises that want a branded AI agent to handle hard tasks. It deploys one agent across voice, chat, email and WhatsApp in 59 languages, and connects to systems of record such as order management and CRM so the agent can process an insurance claim, return an order or originate a mortgage, in Sierra's own examples. Ghostwriter builds or changes an agent from SOPs, transcripts or a plain-English description, while Explorer, Monitors and Experiments help teams study and tune performance. Sierra says 40% of the Fortune 50 partner with it, and each customer works with an agent development team. Pricing is outcome-based, so you pay when the software achieves agreed results. There is no public price list, setup takes weeks rather than hours, and the platform is built for large volumes rather than small support teams.

Who it is for

Large consumer brands with complex, regulated tasks such as claims, returns or mortgages.
