Work with a program

AI-generated summary

Programs are created and managed through a dedicated interface supporting mandatory configuration including unique names (up to), descriptions (up to 10,), associated queues and flows (up to 500 each), and up to 20 tags per program, with organizational limits of 100 programs, 500 queues per program, and 500 flows per program. Key configurable capabilities within programs include topic detection via speech and text analytics to identify business-level intents, sentiment analysis to track emotional trends and experience risks, AI-powered summaries and insights for faster visibility into interactions, and automated agent scoring for scaled evaluations. Topic configuration supports a maximum of 500 topics per dialect with up to 15 selectable dialects, though programs with more than 500 topics experience performance considerations with certain filtering features becoming unavailable. The system supports multiple languages and dialects, with topics defined before program assignment and editable afterward, though programs use the topic version applied at publish time. Quality administrators manage programs through the Programs page with filtering by tags, queues, flows, and search functionality, while program details pages enable review and updates of configurations, transcription engines, dialect selection, and AI Insights enablement. Users can copy, draft, and publish programs to activate configurations, with up to 10 programs publishable simultaneously and automatic force publishing triggered by unpublished topic-level changes. Agent scoring supports up to five enabled rules per program with percentage values from 1–100%, automatically assigning the last participating agent as the evaluated agent and requiring selection of a published agent auto-evaluation form. Access is controlled through specific permissions including Speech and Text Analytics viewing, recording access, translation capabilities, and Quality Management permissions for the Agent Scoring tab, with all changes taking effect only after publication. A preconfigured default program with predefined topics is included automatically, and programs can be saved as drafts before final creation or deleted with automatic publication of the deletion

Quality administrators can manage queues, flows, and agent scoring. Quality administrators cannot change speech and text analytics settings. Speech and text analytics administrators have full access to all program settings.

Programs in Genesys Cloud CX define how interaction analysis, insights, and evaluations are applied across the contact center. A program combines topics, queues, flows, analytics settings, and evaluation rules into a single configuration. This structure enables organizations to analyze and evaluate customer interactions consistently at scale.

A program is a configuration framework that defines how Genesys Cloud speech and text analytics and quality management capabilities analyze, summarize, and evaluate interactions. Programs are assigned to specific queues or flows and apply a consistent set of rules to all interactions processed through those assignments.

Program capabilities

Within a program, you can configure the following capabilities:

Topic detection – Uses speech and text analytics to identify business-level intents in interaction transcripts based on configured topics and phrases.
Sentiment analysis – Analyzes customer sentiment throughout an interaction to help identify emotional trends and potential experience risks.
AI summary and insights – Generates AI-powered summaries and key insights for interactions, providing faster visibility into outcomes, issues, and customer intent.
Automated agent scoring – Generates auto-complete evaluations to score interactions at scale and support quality management and agent coaching.

Topics and languages

Programs can include topics in multiple dialects or languages. This capability is useful when different parts of the contact center focus on different business intents. You must define topics before you add them to a program. You can edit topic content after it is added; however, the program uses the topic version that is applied at publish time.

Notes:

Programs include one preconfigured program that contains a set of predefined topics. This program is set as the default program automatically, but you can change it at any time.
Genesys Cloud EX does not support flows. In this environment, you can assign programs only to queues. Although all flow types appear in the program editor, selecting them has no effect.
Topic limits:
- Standard limit: 500 topics per dialect
- Maximum number of dialects that you can select in the program editor: 15
- You cannot publish a program that contains more than 500 unpublished topics
Performance indicators for large programs: When you edit or delete a program that contains more than 500 topics, a spinner and status message indicate that the operation is in progress.
When a program contains more than 500 topics, the following features are unavailable:
- Filter by Tag (applies to both the topics grid page and the program editor)
- Show selected only option in the program editor
- Select all option in the program editor
Agent scoring limits: A program can include up to five (5) enabled agent scoring rules.
