Mobily's vision is to be ahead of time and to unlock possibilities as challenges approach. Mobily's contact centers were handling high volumes of repetitive, high-frequency requests — billing questions, balance and data-usage checks, subscription changes, payments and recharges — where customers waited up to 20 minutes for a first response. Recognizing the potential of agentic AI and automation to create positive customer experiences, Mobily set out to reduce waiting times and streamline the entire journey for customers and service teams alike. The plan was to resolve these requests instantly and autonomously across every channel customers already used, freeing service teams to focus on the conversations where they add the most value. Using NiCE Cognigy as our customer service platform has helped us build one unified agentic orchestration layer that is linked directly to eight channels. This has shortened development times, improved time to market, and it helps us gain higher customer satisfaction rates overall. ### Mubarak Alharbi Digital Experience General Manager @ Mobily ## The solution Mobily chose NiCE Cognigy for its scalable, modern architecture and the ease with which it integrates into existing systems. Its low-code capabilities and prebuilt connectors let Mobily's CX team design and adapt conversations themselves, without heavy IT involvement. This means a shorter time to market and the freedom to release more services, faster. On this foundation, Mobily deployed customer-facing AI agents across eight channels, all connected into its internal systems. Instead of simply answering questions, the agents resolve requests autonomously and end to end, including automated self-service and payments across social channels. When a request benefits from a human touch, the agent performs a warm handover with all context to a specialist, who can pick up the conversation seamlessly and hand it back at any time. The same platform reaches beyond customer service: Mobily also rolled out employee-facing AI agents on Microsoft Teams, integrated into its service desk and HR systems. ## The impact Today, Mobily delivers automated self-service to its 1.2 million customers across social channels such as Twitter, WhatsApp and Apple Business Chat. An AI agent picks up any inquiry in around 6 seconds, reducing first response times significantly from the previous 20 minutes: a 99,5% improvement. The AI takes over various services for customers, such as billing, balance information and data-usage inquiries. Customers can also subscribe, change subscriptions, buy add-ons, make payments and even recharge their credit using Apple Pay and credit card. The agents also handle feedback, complaints and FAQs. Mobily has elevated its customer experience and gained valuable insight into customer behavior while reducing costs and overload in its contact centers — and at the same time has increased the quality of the conversations still conducted by human agents. #### Multimodal journeys #### Integrated payment systems #### Self-Service functionalities ## Mobily also enables the customer service reps to take over the conversation, if they feel they could add value, as they can follow along with any conversation. This AI assistance changes the professional landscape of contact centers completely, as they can focus on increasing the quality of the conversations rather than juggle the masses. ### Mubarak Alharbi Digital Experience General Manager ## Want the same success with NiCE Cognigy?
