While AVA is a powerful AI virtual assistant to help employees stay focused, connected, and productive.

Meet AVA, RingCentral’s New Virtual Assistant

Many SaaS tools are packing an AI assistant now, and RingCentral’s AVA adds many useful features for contact centre users.

Features help them by understanding and summarising calls in real time, as AVA listens across meetings. It automatically captures key points, open questions, and follow-up actions. AVA also generates polished summaries and highlight reels of team calls, so workers can stay focused on the conversation rather than note-taking.

It also drives the move from insight to action, creating ideal messages and surfacing next-step prompts, guiding users toward relevant workflows or settings. It can also support self-serve learning and productivity throughonboarding, advice and helping discover the AI tools and features that traditional users might miss out on.

RingWEM Suite Boosts Contact Management Skills

The RingWEM Suite comes loaded with the following capabilities:

  • AI Quality Management – Uses AI to automatically score calls and coach contact center agents.
  • AI Workforce Management – Provides AI-based predictive forecasting, scheduling, and real-time intraday adherence to align staffing with demand—reducing contact center costs and improving service levels.
  • AI Interaction Analytics – Delivers AI-driven customer satisfaction (CSAT) insights across voice and digital channels, exposing call drivers, customer intents, and sentiment trends to uncover opportunities for improvement and growth.
  • Screen Recording – Enables supervisors to evaluate agent interactions holistically with synchronized call and screen recordings, providing comprehensive visibility into both conversation quality and workflow efficiency.

The new product should hit general availability for users in early 2026. One early example of success comes from Novatech, achieving a 43% reduction in after-call work time, 70% faster call review speeds and agents now handling up to 20% more calls per day.
