For instance, Cisco Webex AI assists with note-taking and action item identification during virtual meetings
- The seamless incorporation of UC platforms with digital assistants and broader smart office ecosystems allows for centralized control of meetings, calendars, messaging, and even smart office devices, creating a more connected and efficient work environment
- Companies such as RingCentral and 8x8, Inc. are increasingly rolling out AI-powered UC features with voice command capabilities, empowering businesses with more intuitive, flexible, and accessible communication tools
- The demand for unified communication systems with advanced AI and voice integration is surging across enterprises of all sizes, as organizations prioritize productivity, seamless collaboration, and remote work readiness in a digitally driven business landscape
