What's the difference between Appi and the AI features other vendors offer?
Other vendors offer agents — a search bot, a writing assistant, a chat widget, an analytics tool. Each one is locally smart but doesn't know what the others know. Appi is one intelligence with one memory across the whole platform. It uses what it learns from a colleague's question to inform a customer's experience, and what it sees in your sentiment data to shape your next campaign. The architectural difference is the difference between a federation and a mind.
We don't have a CEP today. Where do we start?
That's most customers. Engage replaces a fragmented stack — intranet, comms tools, customer portal, knowledge base, and the AI bolt-ons that have appeared on top. We migrate what's worth keeping, retire what isn't, and have you on the platform within weeks. Appi runs across it from day one. You don't need to be on a CEP to move to the AI CEP — that's the point.
How fast can we actually see this working?
The platform is live in weeks. Appi is reading your real content and answering colleague and customer questions inside 90 days, with the first measurable drop in inbound queries arriving in the same window. Lifecycle automation and broader agentic action follow shortly after. We don't ask you to commit to a long horizon — you'll see numbers move inside the first quarter.
What ROI should we expect?
The numbers most customers see in the first twelve months: 29% drop in avoidable inbound queries, 35% faster new-starter ramp-up, 31% lift in repeat purchase, and a +12 NPS shift. The biggest financial impact tends to come from team capacity recovered (HR, CS, comms) rather than headline customer metrics — though both move. We'll model your specific case on the demo call against your existing P&L lines.
How is it priced?
As a modest uplift on existing CEP spend in phase one — early intelligence is priced lightly because it has to prove value first. Pricing steps up as Appi's impact compounds across agentic and analytics work. We'll walk you through specifics for your size and shape on the demo. There's no multi-year lock-in to access Appi.
Do we need to use both colleague and customer communities?
No. You can run colleague and customer communities in one branded app with strict audience controls, or start with one and add the other later. Appi runs across both whenever you turn the second one on — and that's typically when the strongest compounding kicks in, because Appi's memory now spans both sides of the business.
What security and compliance standards do you meet?
ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, GDPR compliant, with full data encryption at rest and in transit. SSO, SCIM provisioning, role-based permissions, audit logs, and data residency options give IT and security teams complete visibility and control. Appi's memory is scoped to your tenant — your data isn't used to train models for anyone else.
