AI support agents finally cleared the bar for tier-1 deflection in 2026. Here is what we found testing the leading vendors head to head.
Methodology
We fed each agent the same 200 anonymized tickets, then had human agents score responses on accuracy, tone, and resolution.
Results
Fin led on complex reasoning. Ada led on omnichannel deployment. Decagon led on customization for enterprise workflows.
