What is 3CX?

3CX is retiring its own cloud transcription and pushing customers to bring their own AI.

3CX is closing its bundled AI services and moving customers to AI they run or connect themselves. ENT+ licences convert to AI Edition in January 2027 and the legacy cloud transcription service retires then too. V20 Update 10 is at Release Candidate 2 with simpler audio conferencing, a new AI Server migration guide covers the self-hosted path, and a November 9 sizing guide tells admins how much hardware that server needs for their transcription load.

What is Wildix?

Wildix pairs security certifications with Wilma AI handling front-line partner support.

The feed remains press-led. The two substantive items are ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 certification and the rollout of Wilma AI as mandatory first-line support for the partner network, with nearly half of requests resolved without a human, according to the company. The rest covers a Gartner Magic Quadrant Niche Player placement, a Frost Radar Innovator listing, an industry award and a UK channel partnership.

3CX is retiring its own cloud transcription and pushing customers to bring their own AI.

◆ Current state

3CX is closing its bundled AI services and moving customers to AI they run or connect themselves. ENT+ licences convert to AI Edition in January 2027 and the legacy cloud transcription service retires then too. V20 Update 10 is at Release Candidate 2 with simpler audio conferencing, a new AI Server migration guide covers the self-hosted path, and a November 9 sizing guide tells admins how much hardware that server needs for their transcription load.

◆ Where it's heading

The model is shifting from 3CX selling AI minutes to 3CX being the phone system that connects to OpenAI, Google, xAI or its own self-hosted AI Server. That fits its long-standing self-hosted identity, and it hands usage cost and setup work to the customer. Marketing now serves the same move, with partner content on selling AI and call analytics posts around AI Edition.

◆ Prediction

Update 10 looks close to general availability; expect a GA post plus more feature explainers like the conferencing and pop-out dialer pieces.

2.5

Wildix pairs security certifications with Wilma AI handling front-line partner support.

◆ Current state

The feed remains press-led. The two substantive items are ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018 certification and the rollout of Wilma AI as mandatory first-line support for the partner network, with nearly half of requests resolved without a human, according to the company. The rest covers a Gartner Magic Quadrant Niche Player placement, a Frost Radar Innovator listing, an industry award and a UK channel partnership.

◆ Where it's heading

Wildix is building a trust case around European enterprise buying, with certifications and analyst placements doing the work. Making Wilma AI mandatory for its own partner support is a stronger proof point than a demo, since it puts the agent in Wildix's own operations. Actual product releases remain out of view in this feed.

◆ Prediction

Expect more analyst and channel announcements, plus Wilma AI usage figures as sales evidence. The feed does not show the next product release.
