AI assistant in the refreshed CommandIQ mobile app.
Already used by millions of subscribers and customizable to each service provider’s brand, CommandIQ gives providers a direct digital channel to deliver differentiated connected-home experiences. The refreshed app simplifies navigation for subscribers, while Subscriber Agent draws on decades of network intelligence and subscriber context to understand individual connected-home environments and help subscribers take action without navigating complex menus or settings.
Subscriber Agent goes far beyond the capabilities of generic AI assistants. It builds on proven SmartHome™ experiences that have helped service providers achieve Net Promoter Scores℠ (NPS®) in the 80s and 90s and year-over-year revenue growth. Extending intelligent workflows introduced last month, Subscriber Agent makes capabilities like ExperienceIQ® for managing family internet experiences, ProtectIQ® for securing home networks, and ScamWatchIQ™ for navigating online threats easier to access through natural conversations. Together with contextual alerts and billing integration, these capabilities in CommandIQ improve the connected-home experience for subscribers while keeping the service provider’s brand front and center.
With Subscriber Agent in CommandIQ, subscribers can:
- Better understand and optimize home networks to reduce support calls. Through natural voice or text conversations, subscribers can identify connected devices, investigate unfamiliar activity, and diagnose connectivity problems. They can also use personalized recommendations to improve Wi-Fi performance and resolve issues faster.
- Simplify household management to deepen engagement. Subscribers can ask the assistant to create guest networks with secure QR-code access, set expiration times, and establish recurring parental controls through natural conversations—reviewing changes before they take effect. By simplifying home network tasks, CommandIQ becomes a more useful experience subscribers return to regularly.
- Navigate security concerns to strengthen subscriber trust. Subscribers can better understand security alerts and get personalized guidance. They can then take informed action with SmartHome protections such as ProtectIQ and ExperienceIQ to make connected-home security easier to manage.
To help service providers drive adoption of Subscriber Agent-powered AI assistance in CommandIQ and advance residential market success, Calix Success™ is releasing launch resources, customizable campaigns, and expert guidance. Through Calix University, Success events, and the Calix Community, service providers can access proven playbooks, ready-to-use campaign assets, and personalized support.
Katie Luckett, director of marketing, communications and education at Choptank Electric Cooperative, said: “I grew up as a Choptank member, so I know how important it is that the technology we offer feels useful, convenient, and worthy of the trust our community places in us. Subscriber Agent gives members a secure and more natural way to get help and manage their connected homes 24/7 simply by asking in their own words. For Choptank Fiber, that means empowering members to resolve everyday issues on their own—reducing routine support calls while keeping our team focused on those who need more assistance. Leveraging the Calix One platform gives us a trusted foundation to bring AI into our business in a way that feels practical, secure, and true to how we serve our members.”
Juergen Lindner, chief marketing officer at Calix, said: “In the past, digital experiences required people to figure out what to do next. Subscriber Agent changes that. A new conversational AI experience in CommandIQ makes it easy for subscribers to address their everyday issues around their connected homes, simply by asking for help. We are infusing decades of network experience into our AI-native Calix One platform, so we can move beyond smart answers into taking relevant action. For service providers, every subscriber interaction is an opportunity to deliver exceptional value, strengthen loyalty and brand differentiation with experiences subscribers actually crave.”
