International AI awards program names Orvera AI across agentic AI, governance, and platform categories

SAN FRANCISCO: #AIAutomation--Orvera AI has been named on the shortlist at The 2026 A.I. Awards in six categories:

The A.I. Awards is operated by The Cloud Awards, which has run international cloud computing awards since 2011. The AI program launched in 2024 and recognizes AI-driven solutions, platforms and infrastructure, with agentic solutions and AI assistants added as new categories this year. Nominations came from organizations worldwide, from established technology companies to early-stage startups.

Orvera AI is an agentic AI platform for enterprise customer experience. Orvera builds, deploys and runs the operation for the customer rather than handing over software to be assembled. Its omnichannel AI agents resolve conversations across voice, chat and digital channels, with deep specialization in Voice AI, while Agent Assist and AI Auto QA support the human agents who handle the rest. Auto QA audits every conversation on every channel, rather than the 1 to 3 percent sample most quality programs review.

"Enterprises in regulated industries do not ask us first whether an AI agent can hold a conversation," said Ali Merchant, CEO of Orvera AI. "They ask whether we can show what it did, on every conversation, when a regulator asks. We built for that. Being shortlisted for agentic AI and for governance in the same program says we got the order right."

CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: "We're very proud to reveal the shortlist in The 2026 A.I. Awards.

"Orvera AI are well deserving of their shortlist place, and we wish them luck in the next round of judging."

The Cloud Awards judges have completed their initial review of all nominations received, resulting in today's shortlist. The program now moves to a second round of judging, where category judges select finalists. Finalists are announced in September and winners in October.
