Frequently Asked Questions
How does Watson Assistant compare to Dialogflow CX?
Watson offers better voice and IVR integration, is native to IBM Cloud and provides on-premise deployment options. Dialogflow is stronger for Google Cloud-first organisations.

Yes. Pre-built integrations are available with Genesys, Five9, NICE inContact and Twilio for seamless AI-to-agent handoff.
What about on-premise deployment?
Watson Assistant is available via IBM Cloud Pak for Data for on-premise installations, meeting strict data residency and compliance requirements.
How long to deploy Watson Assistant?
A simple web-only chatbot takes six to eight weeks. A complex solution with voice integration and multiple channels takes twelve to sixteen weeks including testing and refinement.
Can we migrate from another platform to Watson?
Yes. We migrate from Dialogflow, Rasa and legacy systems, mapping existing intents and conversation flows to Watson Assistant.
