Pega Includes Customer Engagement Studio in Infinity 26 at No Extra Cost for Existing Clients

Pegasystems has removed an added-cost hurdle for existing clients seeking more controlled AI-assisted campaign work. Pega Customer Engagement Studio is now generally available in Pega Infinity 26, combining customer-engagement development with responsible-AI, governance and automation capabilities.

Customer Engagement Studio is designed for AI-driven customer engagement and campaign development. Pegasystems is directing the release toward financial, regulatory and other large enterprises that need AI systems to be transparent and auditable in customer-facing work.

The release places the studio within the broader Infinity 26 update and adds responsible AI, governance and automation capabilities to Pega Customer Decision Hub. That ties campaign work to Pega’s existing customer-engagement product rather than presenting the new controls as a separate offering.

The campaign controls

• Advanced conversational design for customer-engagement work and campaign development.
• Built-in compliance and governance controls, including approvals for marketers in compliance-sensitive environments.
• Fairness safeguards for AI-driven campaigns.

Pegasystems is offering the new tools at no extra cost to existing clients. Simply Wall St separately characterizes Infinity 26 as including flat-fee AI pricing and agentic workflows, placing the company’s included-access decision alongside a wider pricing and workflow update. The materials describe those two commercial elements, but do not define how flat-fee pricing applies across every customer deployment.

The studio’s stated combination of conversational design, approvals, governance controls and fairness safeguards addresses several stages of an AI-driven campaign process. Marketers can use conversational design in developing engagement, while compliance and governance controls are intended to govern that work and fairness safeguards apply to the campaign use case.

Pega showcased the capabilities at PegaInnovate Melbourne. General availability and included access establish the product’s route to current customers; they do not establish how extensively those customers will use it in day-to-day engagement operations.

The consequential next signal is whether customers deploy the tools more broadly, particularly across Pega Cloud. Simply Wall St identifies adoption across those deployments and management commentary on AI-related deal timing as indicators to watch, making actual enterprise use—not the availability announcement—the next test for the release.
