Pegasystems Unveils Self-Service Agent to Transform Enterprise Customer Service Workflows

Pegasystems Introduces Industry-First Customer Self-Service with Pega Self-Service Agent

Pegasystems is launching its new Pega Self-Service Agent, promising customer self-service capabilities unlike anything currently available. This solution links together three core components of Pega’s portfolio—Pega Blueprint, Pega Predictable AI, and Center-Out agentic architecture—to transform complex enterprise workflows into interactive self-service experiences.

With this approach, customer requests that once required human agents can now be automated efficiently, all while maintaining full visibility, control, and compliance. Pegasystems positions this as a response to the many basic chatbot solutions that handle only simple queries but often create unpredictability and risk.

What Makes Pega Self-Service Agent Stand Out?

Traditional self-service tools often fall short because they operate separately from the workflows used by live agents, leading to fragmented customer journeys and unresolved cases. Pega’s Self-Service Agent integrates directly with the workflows that customer service teams rely on, ensuring consistent logic, decision-making, and data access across all channels.

This integration means customers can interact through apps, messaging, email, or other channels with the same quality and accuracy as if speaking to a live agent. It allows organizations to scale automation without rebuilding processes for each channel.

The Three Pillars Powering Pega Self-Service Agent

• Pega Blueprint: A no-code tool enabling quick design and deployment of customer service workflows. It provides secure access to customer data and enterprise content without needing specialized developers.
• Pega Predictable AI: Automates complex service interactions by following enterprise rules and accessing relevant data. Unlike opaque AI models, it delivers consistent, explainable results across all channels, reducing risk and freeing human agents for higher-value work.
• Center-Out Agentic Architecture: Orchestrates workflows and decisions from the enterprise core, ensuring uniform service across chat platforms, email, SMS, and other communication tools through a shared semantic layer.

Additional Features to Improve Customer Support

• Frictionless Resolution: Enables natural, back-and-forth conversations on any self-service channel. If a handoff to a human agent is needed, the transition is seamless, as both AI and customer service reps use the same workflows.
• Multichannel Consistency: Whether customers use IVR, messaging apps, mobile, or third-party chat platforms, the experience remains consistent thanks to Pega’s semantic integration and open APIs.
• Rapid Deployment: Existing Pega workflows can be launched instantly, and new ones built within minutes—cutting rollout times drastically.
• Built-In Compliance: Designed for regulated industries, every interaction is logged, secure, and fully auditable, supporting responsible AI use without slowing down operations.

Why This Matters for Customer Support Teams

Many enterprises have invested heavily in chatbots and IVR systems, but often these tools fail to meet customer expectations or reduce support costs. According to recent data, 70% of Americans find automated phone systems frustrating compared to live support. Pega’s new offering directly addresses this by aligning self-service capabilities with the complex workflows that power live support.

This means customer support teams can offload routine and complex tasks to self-service channels without sacrificing quality or control. It also helps ensure compliance and provides a smoother experience for customers, reducing frustration and improving resolution times.

For customer support professionals looking to adopt AI-driven automation responsibly and effectively, keeping an eye on solutions like Pega Self-Service Agent is worthwhile. They illustrate how automation can work hand-in-hand with existing enterprise processes to deliver real, scalable benefits.
