Genesys says strong uptake of AI-powered products helped deliver a record fourth quarter, with the Genesys Cloud platform ending the period at nearly $2.6bn in annual recurring revenue. The result capped a fiscal year in which the company said total revenue approached $3bn, up 13% year-on-year.
The fourth quarter, covering 1 November 2025 to 31 January 2026, also showed how central AI has become to the company’s expansion story. As of 31 January, Genesys said more than 70% of Genesys Cloud customers were using Genesys Cloud AI, while 20% of new business annual contract value for the year came from Genesys Cloud AI products.
Large enterprise deals were a major part of that momentum. Genesys said it closed more than 50 seven-figure ACV deals during the quarter, up more than 35% year-on-year. More than 10 of those were AI-led, with AI capabilities accounting for more than half of the total ACV in each case. The company pointed to demand from large organisations seeking to modernise customer operations, automate routine work, and bring more intelligence into service environments.
Tony Bates, chairman and CEO of Genesys, said: “Our progress demonstrates that AI-powered orchestration is not a future aspiration — it’s happening now, and enterprises are realising significant value.”
That value proposition runs through the rest of the release. Genesys said AI-powered conversations on its cloud platform rose by more than 120% year-on-year during the period, while summaries generated by Genesys Cloud Agent Copilot more than tripled. Use of Supervisor AI capabilities also more than doubled year-on-year, as organisations looked for more automated coaching, quality assurance, and performance management tools.
The company used the results statement to reinforce a broader argument about the next phase of enterprise AI: moving from isolated automation towards what it calls agentic orchestration. During the year, Genesys introduced agentic virtual agents built with large action models for enterprise customer experience, alongside AI Studio and AI Guides designed to help organisations build those experiences with governance controls, permissions, and oversight.
Open standards also featured prominently. Genesys said it is advancing work around Agent-to-Agent and Model Context Protocol standards so AI agents can collaborate securely across systems while remaining under enterprise control. That matters for large organisations trying to connect customer service, CRM, workflow, and compliance environments without creating new operational silos.
The scale figures in the release help explain why the company is leaning hard into that message. Genesys said it has now surpassed 2 million users on the Genesys Cloud platform, with more than 7,000 organisations worldwide relying on it. Customer examples cited in the release ranged from Coventry Building Society and Virgin Atlantic to Banco Bradesco, StepChange Debt Charity, and Best Buy Canada.
For the wider market, the update is a reminder that AI spending in customer experience is increasingly being judged on measurable operating outcomes, not pilot activity. Genesys is using its fourth-quarter numbers to argue that orchestration, rather than standalone automation, is where that spending is now moving.
