All license types
Live screen monitoring for agent supervision (June 29)
*The GA delivery has been rolled back due to a regression issue discovered, unfortunately. The product team now understands the root cause and is working hard to resolve the issue.
Supervisors can now watch an agent's desktop in real time while the agent handles an ACD interaction. Screen monitoring runs alongside voice and digital monitoring. It supports multi-monitor setups. Requires Genesys Cloud Background Assistance version 1.7.468 or later.
Why it matters: Supervisors get the full picture of an interaction, not just the audio. That is a meaningful upgrade for QA, onboarding, and compliance monitoring.
CX 2 or higher
Supervisor takeover for active messaging conversations (June 22)
Supervisors can take full ownership of an active messaging conversation while monitoring it. They can remove the agent and talk with the customer directly. A dedicated permission controls who can use this.
Why it matters: No more waiting for a conversation to end before intervening. Supervisors can step into sensitive or time-critical escalations the moment they see one.
CX 3
Volume and AHT forecasts inside capacity plans (June 1)
Planners can view offered volume and average handle time forecasts directly inside capacity plans and export that data.
Why it matters: Keeps the key demand inputs in one place. Less screen navigation, faster staffing decisions.
Workforce management updates (June 8)
Manual schedule edits now sync automatically with Activity Plan occurrences, closing the gap between what is scheduled and what the plan expects. Agents can bid on full schedule sets rather than individual shifts, so they can see their entire week before committing. The maximum time a work plan activity can sit relative to a shift's end has increased, giving planners more room to configure extended or overnight shifts.
Why it matters: Fewer scheduling discrepancies, simpler bidding for large groups, and more flexibility for planners running non-standard shift patterns.
Semantic topic spotting for topic configuration (June 15)
Admins can configure speech analytics topics using semantic matching. This detects varied phrasing automatically rather than requiring a manually compiled list of phrases. English only for now.
Why it matters: Configuration effort drops, and topic detection accuracy improves. The system detects different ways a customer says the same thing without an admin having to enumerate every variation.
Native transcription dictionary limit doubled (June 29)
The maximum number of terms in the native transcription dictionary has doubled, from 500 to 1,000.
Why it matters: Especially useful for healthcare, legal, and financial services organizations, where accurate transcription of domain-specific vocabulary directly affects the quality of everything downstream.
Genesys AI
Expanded answer options for AI scoring questions (June 1)
Admins can now configure up to 5 answer options for AI-scoring-enabled questions in quality management evaluation forms, up from the previous limit.
Why it matters: More nuanced scoring that reflects the full range of agent behavior, without splitting a single question into several.
Exact match in Agent Copilot checklists (June 15)
Admins can require an exact phrase match for Agent Copilot checklist items. The item only checks off when the agent says or types the precisely configured phrase.
Multiple Agent Copilot checklists per interaction (June 15)
Agents can now view and complete multiple checklists in Agent Copilot during a single interaction. Additional checklists can surface at the start of a conversation or when specific intents are detected.
Why it matters: Gives agents a structured path through complex, multi-step interactions instead of relying on memory.
Agents can create interaction summaries on demand (June 22)
Agents can generate a summary of an active interaction at any point with a single button in Agent Copilot. The summary lands in an editable text box for review before the interaction ends, and it persists afterward.
Why it matters: Agents can prepare and refine the summary while the conversation is still fresh, cutting down on after-call work by reconstructing it from memory later.
