Google Conversational Agents review

Google Conversational Agents, the successor to Dialogflow CX, is a build-it-yourself platform rather than a banking product. CX Agent Studio, powered by Gemini, gives teams prebuilt agent templates, evaluation tools and a visual builder, and agents can serve web, mobile, voice, email and social channels with voice in over 40 languages. For a bank, the work is in the integrations: balance, card and loan answers need your own APIs behind the agent, plus your own authentication and compliance review. In return the price is low and published, starting at $0.007 per chat request on Flows, and new Google Cloud users get trial credits. It suits a bank with an engineering team already on Google Cloud; a credit union without developers will get further, faster with a specialist that ships core integrations.
