Conversation Design Institute

Conversation Design Institute (CDI) is the world's leading training, certification, and consulting group for people building Conversational AI (CAI) agents at scale. We pioneered Agentic Experience Design (AXD): the discipline of deciding when an agent acts, how much agency it holds, and when control returns to a human.
As agents take initiative on an organization's behalf, trust is everything. Conversational Capital is the trust companies want to build with every customer, and CDI helps them build it, through evidence-based workflows, shared standards, and 15,000+ certified practitioners.
With offices in Austin (USA) and Amsterdam (NL), CDI serves 200+ enterprise clients worldwide. Microsoft, Salesforce, Verint, Rasa, and others support our mission of human-centric AI through the CDI Foundation, a non-profit that funds research, sets industry standards, awards scholarships, and runs the Conversation Design Festival and Beyond Boundaries Global Festival.
