Five9 (Nasdaq: FIVN), provider of the Intelligent CX Platform, announced today that it was honored by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, with a spot on the 2025 AI 100 list in the AI for Software category.

Now in its second year, the AI 100 list recognizes vendors at the leading edge of the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence landscape across cloud, data center and edge, software, data and analytics, and cybersecurity. Their commitment to AI innovation empowers IT channel partners to build their own AI tech stacks, create AI-based solutions that improve customer outcomes, and access new opportunities for growth for 2025 and beyond.

Chosen by a panel of CRN editors, vendors on the AI 100 list are notable for the strength of their AI portfolios, commitment to innovation, and ability to support IT channel partners as they bring AI solutions to life.

Five9 has demonstrated a commitment to an AI-elevated customer experience (CX) since 2018 and doubled down on transforming CX with the Five9 Genius AI Suite, launched in August 2024. The Five9 Genius AI suite is a comprehensive set of AI-powered applications designed to redefine how organizations connect with customers, delivering experiences that anticipate and address their needs with the utmost relevance, accuracy, and speed. The orchestrated solutions create AI-powered CX journeys, enabling companies to offer more contextual and personalized interactions that align with business goals.

"AI is moving fast, and so are we. The future of CX belongs to those who invest in AI that provides real business benefits, and our partners are a key part of helping us redefine CX across the entire customer journey," said Jake Butterbaugh, Senior Vice President of Global Partner and International Sales at Five9. "You'll see us continue to invest heavily in our platform and partnerships to deliver an AI-elevated CX with innovation that's both practical and groundbreaking."

"We are proud to celebrate the technology vendors on the 2025 AI 100 list for their dedication to pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence solutions within the IT channel," said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN at The Channel Company. "As AI transformation progresses, there remains strong demand for new technologies that enable channel partners to meet customer needs and strengthen their competitive edge. Congratulations to all the honorees who have differentiated themselves in the dynamic arena of AI!"
