Crescendo, recognized as the first AI-native contact center, has introduced Multimodal AI, a groundbreaking innovation that seamlessly combines voice, text, and visual interactions into one intelligent conversation. This marks a major milestone in customer experience (CX), allowing users to communicate with brands in multiple ways typing, speaking, sharing images, or even connecting devices all at once within the same session.
This revolutionary capability redefines how customers engage with businesses. Imagine a homeowner fixing a sprinkler issue by chatting, talking, and sharing a lawn photo all within a single exchange. Or an online shopper uploading a selfie for instant AI-driven makeup recommendations. Even a driver can describe a dashboard alert via chat and have the AI connect directly to their vehicle system, guiding them to the nearest service center in real time.
Nick McKay, CEO of Veer, shared his excitement about the innovation, saying, “We see huge potential in Crescendo’s Multimodal AI to change how our customers interact with Veer… It’s the next step in making every experience feel as effortless as our products and a glimpse of how shopping and support are evolving together.”
Built from the ground up by CX experts, Crescendo’s AI-native foundation moves beyond traditional scripted systems toward fluid, multimodal intelligence. This advancement signals the arrival of a new era in customer engagement where outcomes, not just automation, define success.
Unlike conventional AI tools that rely on rigid, pre-programmed workflows, Crescendo’s AI Assistants operate without them. Instead of being restricted by predefined logic, they learn directly from company data, policies, and product content. This allows them to deliver highly accurate and context-aware responses boasting an impressive 99.8% accuracy rate while eliminating hallucinations.
Traditional customer service platforms often struggle with disconnected, hard-to-scale workflows. Crescendo’s AI-first architecture overcomes this by orchestrating intelligence holistically, powered by large language models (LLMs), role-specific prompting, and direct data access via Model Context Protocol (MCP). This approach accelerates deployment, reduces maintenance, and ensures consistency between human and AI agents.
The new Multimodal AI builds upon Crescendo’s earlier Voice AI and broader AI Suite, offering powerful enterprise-ready solutions such as:
Adaptive AI Voice Assistants with brand-specific voice models using cutting-edge speech technologies like Amazon Nova Sonic and OpenAI RealTime.
Crescendo Insights, delivering proactive AI analytics that provide actionable recommendations beyond CX performance.
Automated ticket management, enabling faster updates through complete contextual awareness.
MCP integrations with platforms like Shopify, allowing real-time reasoning from live data.
Matt Price, Crescendo’s co-founder and CEO, emphasized, “The first wave of bolt-on bots for CX has delivered automation that is now table stakes. The next wave will be all about using AI for CX innovation. Multimodal AI is an example of this but it can only be unleashed with a next-generation AI architecture.”
For existing users of the Crescendo AI Suite, integrating Multimodal AI can be completed in as little as two weeks using existing data and integrations demonstrating Crescendo’s commitment to fast, measurable results.
