PwC and OpenAI have launched agentic customer service solutions that move beyond rule-based IVR systems to deploy AI agents capable of understanding intent, taking action, and resolving issues without escalation. PwC has established a joint Center of Excellence with OpenAI to accelerate enterprise deployment and close the gap between proof-of-concept and production.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents and Enterprise Software.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you're selling contact centre software, your deflection-focused playbook is now obsolete. PwC and OpenAI have just proven resolution-capable agents work at scale, and every enterprise customer will now demand they do the same—or your product becomes a feature inside theirs.
