Parloa and Thoughtworks join forces to power the agentic enterprise

Berlin, October 6, 2026. Parloa, the leading agentic AI company for enterprise customer experience (CX), and Thoughtworks, a global technology consultancy that integrates design, engineering, and AI, today announced a strategic partnership. Together, they will help enterprises put AI agents into production with confidence and turn early CX wins into lasting, enterprise-wide change.

Most enterprises want AI agents to improve CX, but few have a reliable path from first test to production. Gartner¹ research shows that at least 50% of enterprise AI projects are abandoned, leaving companies with no real business value.

Thoughtworks and Parloa close that gap. Parloa's AI agent management platform (AMP) runs customer interactions across voice and digital channels. Thoughtworks adds engineering, data strategy, and enterprise modernization expertise. Together, they help clients start AI adoption faster and build solutions that fit their existing systems.

The partnership opens up three high-impact paths to business change:

• Automated customer intake and routing: Resolve common inquiries faster, raise customer satisfaction, and free up human agents for higher-value work.

• AI-assisted sales and engagement: Turn service interactions into growth with tailored recommendations and proactive support.

• Streamlined back-office operations: Connect front-line interactions directly to core operational systems and automate complex workflows like claims, billing, and account updates.

One approach, from design to deployment

This isn't a traditional vendor relationship. Parloa and Thoughtworks offer one strategy from first design to full deployment, connecting new AI capabilities to the systems enterprises already run on.

Thoughtworks prepares data foundations, designs customer experiences, and integrates AI agents directly into core operations. Thoughtworks engineers have also helped build Parloa's platform, so the two teams are closely aligned technically and clients reach value sooner.

From first use case to enterprise-wide impact

Parloa's end-to-end approach to designing, deploying, and managing AI agents handles even the most complex CX use cases. For clients, that means the first deployment doesn't have to stay a point solution.

With Thoughtworks' data and cloud modernization capabilities behind it, a Parloa implementation becomes the starting point for broader operational change. Joint clients can securely extend AI agents into other parts of their business and modernize the backend systems that power them. The result is an enterprise that runs on agentic AI, not one that adds a chatbot on top.
