8×8 Reports Strong Q4 FY26 Demand for AI-Powered CX and Communication API Solutions<\/b><\/p>\n

AI Self-Service Interactions More Than Doubled Year-Over-Year; 8×8 Engage Customer Adoption Grew More Than 300% Year over Year; Messaging API Interactions Surged 218% as Organizations Expand Digital Engagement Channels<\/i><\/p>\n

CAMPBELL, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nCustomer experience leaders are under pressure to handle more interactions, with fewer agents, without compromising service. The internal data from 8×8\u2019s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 shows organizations are responding by deploying AI where it can deflect volume, extend reach across digital messaging channels, and consolidate onto platforms built for that kind of scale. Usage-based revenue, which includes communication APIs, AI solutions, digital channels, and telecom, grew more than 70% year-over-year in Q4 and now represents 23% of service revenue, up from 14% one year ago.<\/p>\n

8×8, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading global business communications platform provider, releases Q4 FY26 momentum metrics across its AI-powered customer experience and communications API solutions.<\/p>\n

\nAcross the fiscal year, 8×8 Intelligent Customer Assistant<\/a> interactions more than doubled from FY25. Voice AI usage grew more than 3.3X, and 8×8 Engage<\/a> \u2013 8×8\u2019s purpose-built solution for frontline and non-desk workers \u2013 expanded its customer base more than 300% in Q4. These are signals of adoption, not just interest.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe adoption numbers across 8×8 Intelligent Customer Assistant and 8×8 Engage reflect something we’ve been deliberate about: building AI into the platform designing it to be usable on day one, not a separate implementation project,\u201d said Hunter Middleton<\/a>, Chief Product Officer at 8×8, Inc. \u201cThese numbers tell you something important \u2013 customers are using this technology because it\u2019s actually working for them, not just because it\u2019s available. And when messaging API interactions grow 218% year-over-year, that means organizations are reaching customers on the channels their customers actually use.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nDemand for AI-driven customer experience tools continued to accelerate in Q4 FY26, with significant growth in both adoption and usage across 8×8 Intelligent Customer Assistant and 8×8 Engage solutions:<\/p>\n
