If you are Talkdesk and something here is wrong or missing, the correction will be made and dated, and you can claim the card to add evidence. ## The agentic solutions One card per solution. Each level is computed from the evidence by a [published rule](../../spectrum/evidence-map/index.md); a dimension with nothing public reads "not yet evidenced", which is not a no. A card rates a product as documented, not anyone's deployment of it. ### Talkdesk Autopilot (AI Agents for voice, digital and email) Customer-facing AI agent that resolves requests and completes tasks across voice, digital and email channels, handing over to a human agent when needed.

Autopilot is the customer-facing agent of Talkdesk's contact-centre platform: it resolves requests and completes tasks across voice, digital and email channels, and passes complex cases to a human agent. The product page shows it changing an order's delivery address itself through an integrated order system, and Talkdesk documents refunds and appointment changes through CRM and ERP integrations. **Autonomy 4, with an option on.** Acts holds as shipped. In email, an orchestrator agent identifies the customer's intent and passes the work to specialised sub-agents, which meets the cross-system half of level 4. The other half, people monitoring while the agent works on its own, rests on CXA Operations Center, a separate product in which people watch live interactions, inspect session-level execution traces and set guardrails. Level 4 is therefore marked available. **Where the evidence is strongest.** Talkdesk names the data Autopilot draws on (Talkdesk Data Cloud interaction history and Knowledge Management content), publishes a vulnerability disclosure channel and an llms.txt, and gives limits to the agent as plain-language instructions, such as when to escalate to a live agent. Reach rests on MCP, which Talkdesk says its agents use to call external tools and services. **What would move it.** Reach 3: a published agent interface, such as an agent card, with documented authorisation narrower than the whole account. Control 2: a page saying which of Autopilot's actions need a person's approval, with a list of the scopes and tools it can reach. Openness 2: a page on Autopilot's limits and known failure cases; the data is already described, so that one page would meet the rule. Autonomy is at the top of its ladder with the option on. **Seen, and not counted.** The challenger lowered seven credits a reader may meet on Talkdesk's pages. The Novobanco story names Autopilot for redistributing calls, and its figure that AI agents handle 3% of calls is not tied to Autopilot acting, so the card names no customer for the capability that acts. The UiPath integration over MCP is a Talkdesk agent calling UiPath, not others building on Autopilot or agents working across organisations. The ISO/IEC 42001 certification is announced in a press release; no certificate or scope statement was found. A blog's data-protection boundary does not cover actions such as refunds. ## What would move it The one piece of public evidence that would lift each card next: - **Talkdesk Autopilot (AI Agents for voice, digital and email)**: Openness 2 (Documented). Public evidence that its limits and known failure cases are documented for those who use it. ## The agent at work Examples from public pages that name a customer or give figures.

How this report was made A researcher-assessor gathered and captured the sources and mapped the evidence to indicators, without assigning a level. A challenger argued against every level three and four and every doubtful credit. The [deterministic scorer](../../spectrum/pipeline/index.md) computed the levels and the gate checked the rules. A card appears here only after two rounds of review and a sign-off by agents that did not write it (the team's workflow); Talkdesk Autopilot (AI Agents for voice, digital and email): reviewed in 3 rounds, signed off by gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis on 2026-11-10. A person's sign-off of the series is still to come. | Role | Who | |---|---| | researcher-assessor | a sub-agent of gamma.studio@web-summit.dinis | | challenger | a sub-agent | | scorer | build/spectrum.mjs | | analyst, designer, writer | gamma.studio@web-summit.dinis | | review | gamma.review@web-summit.dinis, 3 rounds | | sign-off | gamma.approve@web-summit.dinis, 2026-11-10 | ## The vault Every capture, the dossier, both assessors' mappings, the challenger's notes and this report's data are in a public sgit vault (`2y7brc8i`).

The key reads; it cannot write. ## Corrections None yet.
