About Decagon

Decagon is an AI customer service platform aimed at high-volume consumer and B2B brands, focused on conversational automation, analytics, and natural-language workflow control that appeals particularly to tech companies with engineering resources to back configuration. It tripled its valuation to $4.5 billion in under six months by January 2026, and Vendr-observed contract data puts median deal size around $433,000. In spring 2026 Decagon launched Voice 2.0, adding interruption handling, custom tone controls, branded caller IDs, and proactive outbound voice, integrating through Amazon Connect, RingCentral, and SIP trunking, though G2 reviewers note voice capability is still evolving relative to its more mature chat and email backbone.
