LivePerson Launches Syntrix As The First AI Agent Evaluation And Live Agent Training Platform For Enterprise CX LivePerson announced the launch of Syntrix, a simulation and evaluation platform designed to help enterprises deploy customer-facing AI with confidence and unlock AI value across customer interactions with AI agents and live agents. Syntrix launches as an AI agent evaluation and live agent training platform built for enterprise CX. It provides the critical assurance brands need to safely deploy customer-facing AI, giving them visibility, control, and the confidence to scale. By moving from reactive, production-only learning to proactive simulation and continuous evaluation and improvement, brands are able to deploy AI in line with strong governance practices and deliver meaningful business outcomes. Syntrix addresses these barriers by providing an evaluation environment where brands can rigorously test AI agents and train live agents against sophisticated synthetic customer personas and scenarios and measure adherence to brand policies before they ever interact with a real customer. Syntrix is the first platform of its kind to unify the evaluation of both digital and human workforces. AI agent evaluation: Brands can continuously stress-test AI agents and guardrails against diverse customer personas and edge-case scenarios. This vendor-neutral approach ensures that whether an AI agent is built on proprietary or third-party models, its performance is observable and more predictable. Live agent training for contact center and sales: Syntrix replaces slow, manual role-playing with scalable AI-powered synthetic customers and simulations. New hires can practice high-stakes, complex, or edge-case conversations with out-of-the-box or custom synthetic customers, receiving instant, automated feedback on empathy, accuracy, and brand compliance. Early estimates of Syntrix outcomes have demonstrated significant operational impact for enterprise brands. Accelerated AI readiness and deployment confidence: The ability to validate AI agent and live agent readiness to reduce risks and improve brand compliance continuously. Reduced operational costs: Reduce contact center agent new hire ramp time by up to 30% and save an average of $3,500 in onboarding costs per agent. Mitigated risk: Proactively identify and fix issues in a simulated environment, reducing the potential for drift and noncompliance. The launch of Syntrix marks the first phase of the new platform, with planned expansion that will add additional AI assurance and governance capabilities. Syntrix focuses on simulation and evaluation, and LivePerson plans to incorporate further capabilities, including advanced intelligence to automate analysis and prevention of CX failures.

LivePerson Launches Conversation Simulator to De- Risk Generative AI and Accelerate AI Adoption LivePerson announced the launch of Conversation Simulator, a risk-free testing and analysis environment that addresses the top barriers to GenAI adoption: accuracy, compliance and risk. As global brands rush to integrate GenAI into customer experiences, many face mounting challenges that stem from GenAI's unpredictability. LivePerson's new platform, Conversation Simulator, directly addresses the issue. Conversation Simulator is a vendor-agnostic solution that serves as the testing and governance tool for a brand's entire conversational ecosystem. It uses synthetic customers -- AI-powered personas that mimic real customer behaviors -- to surface risks, test performance, continuously monitor for LLM drift and ensure AI meets brand standards and compliance before launch. Conversation Simulator will address two of the biggest challenges in customer-facing AI uses: Making GenAI More Predictable and Safe: Stress-test AI agents, bots and knowledge sources against realistic, multi-turn conversations to detect hallucinations, policy risks or brand tone issues before going live. This will help brands to verify their GenAI systems are more compliant and prevent errors before they impact customers. Training Human Agents More Efficiently: Automate "on-the-job" role-plays using real-world scenarios to onboard and upskill human agents faster in their live workspace or agent system, which can continuously assess and cut training time from weeks to hours. Many enterprises stall their AI programs at pilot stage due to uncertainty about accuracy and compliance. LivePerson's platform replaces reactive monitoring with proactive assurance allowing organizations to: Validate GenAI models for correctness, safety and adherence to policy before launch. Accelerate AI onboarding and training by using synthetic data to model edge cases and high-risk scenarios. Continuously monitor AI and agent performance, ensuring compliance with evolving frameworks such as the EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF. Document audit-ready evidence of AI testing, performance and governance for internal and external stakeholders. The bottom line: Conversation Simulator gives enterprises a way to test, tune, and analyze AI before it ever reaches a customer. It turns AI deployment from a leap of faith into a repeatable, proven process. Ankündigung • Oct 28

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 69% This is considered a major risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (17% average weekly change). Negative equity (-US$82m). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (69% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$73m net loss next year). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (₪101k sold).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₪347.6m (US$97.2m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (19% average weekly change). Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 34% per year for the foreseeable future.

Enhanced analytics measure the ROI of generative AI-powered and omnichannel conversations.

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: ₪152k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (US$70m net loss next year). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (16% increase in shares outstanding). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (₪152k sold). Market cap is less than US$100m (₪207.2m market cap, or US$55.9m). Ankündigung • Jun 05

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: ₪359.1m (US$99.6m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (US$82m net loss in 2 years).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 25% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 25% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.1% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Nov 09

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 10% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 61% per year, which means it is performing significantly worse than earnings.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.9% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (16% average weekly change).
