Forbes–Your Enterprise Isn’t Ready to Talk Back: The Real Challenge Behind Voice-First Software
Resolved after 86 days 3 hours, on April 7, 2026.
In a new Forbes Technology Council byline, CTO Chris Monberg explores the deeper challenge behind voice-first enterprise software, and why most organizations aren’t yet equipped to support it. Rather than focusing on the interface itself, the piece makes clear that voice is only the top layer. The real complexity lies in the underlying infrastructure: identity resolution, APIs, semantic definitions, governance, and coordinated agent systems that ensure responses are accurate, secure, and actionable. Chris outlines a shift from traditional navigation-based software to outcome-driven systems, where users can simply ask questions and have AI agents execute multi-step workflows. The takeaway centers on the theory that successful AI adoption will depend less on the interface and more on the strength of the data and systems beneath it.
