Which AI Customer Support Platforms Let You Choose Your Own LLM

Enterprise customer-support AI platforms increasingly offer LLM provider choice, but the text argues that buyers should evaluate this alongside data ownership, integration dependence, switching costs, and pricing. Voiceflow, Cognigy and Kore.ai are described as supporting models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and AWS, while Fin, formerly Intercom and now part of Salesforce, uses proprietary models and does not allow customers to select the underlying LLM. Cognigy and Kore.ai provide model flexibility within broader contact-center or enterprise software environments, whereas Voiceflow is presented as allowing greater control by supporting customer-managed stacks, existing helpdesk integrations, transcript and audit-trail ownership, and, at its Enterprise tier, customer-supplied open-source or fine-tuned models. The discussion identifies model, data, suite, and pricing lock-in as separate risks, noting that provider choice alone does not ensure portability or lower switching costs. It recommends that organizations verify supported models, self-service switching, data export rights, helpdesk compatibility, and the cost implications of rising support volume before signing a contract.
