Headquartered in Los Altos, California, United States, Tenyx was founded in 2020, making it a relatively young company in the AI-powered voice agent space.
This acquisition aims to enhance Salesforce's AI-driven customer service offerings by integrating Tenyx's innovative voice AI solutions into Salesforce's Service Cloud.
The deal is expected to close in the third quarter of Salesforce's fiscal year 2025, ending October 31, 2024.
Post acquisition, Tenyx will extend Salesforce’s existing autonomous agent capabilities for Agentforce Service Agent by integrating Tenyx’s innovative voice AI solutions, specifically tailored for service use cases.
Tenyx’s co-founders, Itamar Arel, CEO, and Adam Earle, CTO and team will join Salesforce, helping to build the future of Salesforce’s Agent offerings, upon the close of the acquisition. The integration of Tenyx’s deep knowledge of voice AI with Salesforce Service Cloud positions Salesforce to set new standards in customer experience.
This move underscores Salesforce's commitment to revolutionizing customer service through advanced AI technologies.
Tenyx stands out in the voice AI industry due to several key factors. The startup leverages cutting-edge NLP techniques to create highly accurate and context-aware voice agents.
Unlike many voice AI startups that target a broad range of applications, Tenyx specializes in enhancing customer service interactions, making their solutions particularly effective in this domain.
Tenyx's voice agents not only ęthandle customer interactions but also provide valuable insights and analytics to help businesses improve their service strategies.
In addition to the recent acquisition of Tenyx, Salesforce has made several notable acquisitions recently. Last month, Salesforce acquired PredictSpring, which provides store associate apps for offline businesses.
Besides, in December 2020 Salesforce acquired slack for $27.7 billion, Slack is a collaboration hub that integrates with Salesforce to enhance productivity.
