TaskUs Accelerates Agentic AI-Powered Customer Experience with Strategic Partnerships with Decagon and Regal
NEW BRAUNFELS, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TaskUs, Inc. (Nasdaq: TASK), a leading provider of outsourced digital services and next-generation customer experience to the world's most innovative companies, today announced strategic partnerships with Decagon and Regal. Together with these two elite agentic AI platform companies, TaskUs will aim to further transform customer support through intelligent automation.
The partnerships with Decagon and Regal augments TaskUs' recently announced agentic AI consulting practice, a set of business services and expertise that help companies seamlessly integrate advanced AI technologies into their customer experience operations.
Agentic AI builds on the rapid progress of generative AI to allow the technology to autonomously complete tasks, particularly in customer support and business processes. In the rush to apply agentic AI, many companies must now rethink how they typically operate. Expertise around where to use the new technology and how to start, scale, secure, and blend it with human interaction is as important as selecting the right platform.
'Agentic AI from Decagon and Regal should enable us to reduce the cost of customer support by 25-50% while significantly improving quality,' says Bryce Maddock, CEO, TaskUs. 'Our AI deployment specialists will apply agentic AI upfront to automate many simple, repetitive customer service functions. We'll then provide human support from our talented experts. This hybrid model is the future of customer support.'
Comprehensive AI Transformation
TaskUs will tap the Decagon and Regal platforms to apply agentic AI across digital and voice channels, using its deep knowledge of a client's workflows, training materials, and business processes to train agentic AI models and integrate them into a company's operations — all in service of the ultimate customer experience.
'This isn't just about implementing technology,' says Joe Anderson, leader of TaskUs' Agentic AI Consulting practice. 'We're guiding our clients through a comprehensive AI transformation. We understand our clients' values, ecosystems, operations, nuances — even their quirks. When you've been working with a client for years, you get to know them extremely well. And that's critical for applying agentic AI successfully.'
'We see lots of fancy chatbot demos riding the AI hype,' says Jesse Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Decagon. 'We've built something different: AI agents that give customers a human-like customer support experience across all channels. By teaming up with TaskUs, we're able to offer fast, AI-powered support up front, and smooth handoffs to their expert teams when a human touch is needed.'
'We believe one of the main ways consumers will interact with brands is through calls by human-like AI voice agents. We have built an enterprise-ready platform needed to help brands seamlessly integrate AI Agents that perform as well as human agents at a fraction of the cost for everything from customer support to operations calls,' says Alex Levin, CEO and co-founder of Regal.io. 'Partnering with TaskUs will help us scale the impact of our voice capabilities.'
TaskUs also plans to apply these new agentic AI solutions to its own internal operations. This approach will deepen its ability to integrate the technology into workflows and customer interactions, while maintaining human oversight as it keeps building teams of savvy AI users.

3 Resilient Retail Stocks That Are Still Growing Amid Tariffs
These companies have generated positive growth in their recent results despite macroeconomic headwinds. These retailers are large and may be better positioned for long-term growth than other companies. 10 stocks we like better than Walmart › The tariff risk is a big one for retailers. It can spike costs significantly for businesses, forcing them to either pass on those increases to consumers, or absorb them, resulting in leaner profits. It's not a great situation, regardless of which way you want to look at it. Some retailers, however, have been demonstrating strong resilience in the face of these threats, in a great sign of their sheer strength. Walmart (NYSE: WMT), Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), and Dick's Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) all posted strong quarterly numbers recently. Does that make them good buys today? Let's take a closer look and find out. On May 15, big-box retailer Walmart released its latest quarterly results, for the period ending April 30. Sales for the quarter totaled $165.6 billion, which were up by 4% when excluding the impact of foreign exchange. And its operating income also rose by more than 4% to $7.1 billion. Around 60% of the company's sales come from its grocery operations, which is why the business may be better suited to handle the effects of tariffs than other retailers. Groceries are necessities that consumers simply can't forgo the way they can with more discretionary purchases when prices rise. And with Walmart offering a vast array of products, it's also a convenient one-stop shop for customers in the event they do want to buy more than just groceries. The retail stock has done well this year, rising by more than 7% in value entering trading this week. At more than 41 times its trailing earnings, it isn't a cheap buy. But if you want stability and are willing to hang on for the long haul, Walmart can be one of the safer and more resilient retail stocks to put in your portfolio right now. Another top retailer that has been doing well of late is Costco. It posted its latest numbers on May 29, and it posted comparable revenue growth of 8% for the period ending May 11. Total revenue of $63.2 billion was up by a similar percentage, while net income of $1.9 billion rose by 13%. The company did say that tariffs have increased its costs and forced it to raise prices in some situations. But consumers can often save money on a per-item basis when shopping at Costco by buying in bulk, and a solid growth rate in the past quarter seems to indicate that's still very much the case. Costco's stock is up 9% this year, but at 57 times its trailing earnings, its valuation has gotten a bit out of hand. And my concern is that if economic conditions worsen, consumers may not be able to afford to buy in bulk, even if it means saving money in the longer term. Cutting out a trip to Costco is an easy way for shoppers to reduce their overall expenditures, and that may end up happening if economic conditions don't improve. When you combine that with an extremely high-priced valuation, you end up with a stock that could be due for a steep correction. As much as I like Costco's business, this isn't a stock I'd buy today, as there's simply too much optimism and bullishness priced into its current valuation. The retail stock that has surprised me the most is Dick's Sporting Goods. The sporting goods retailer is not only doing well and growing, but it's in acquisition mode as well. Recently, it announced plans to buy Foot Locker for $2.4 billion as it looks to reach a broader customer base. And Dick's is already doing well as it is. In its most recent quarter, which ended on May 3, its same-store sales growth was 4.5%, marking the fifth straight quarter where its comparable growth rate was more than 4%. That's a remarkable achievement at a time when consumers are supposedly cutting back on discretionary purchases. The bad news is that the company did experience an 11% decline in its bottom line, with net income falling to $264 million for the period (on net sales of $3.2 billion). The stock has been struggling this year, and it is down more than 20% thus far in 2025 amid macroeconomic concerns. But it trades at just 13 times its trailing earnings and could be a good value buy, especially with it still producing solid growth and looking to enhance its prospects with the acquisition of Foot Locker. While there is some risk here in the short term, given Dick's modest valuation, I think the stock can make a lot of sense as a long-term hold, as it gives investors a good margin of safety at its reduced price.

London's Incredible Shrinking Stock Market
Back in 2016, Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the owner of the New York Stock Exchange, revealed that it was considering an offer for the London Stock Exchange Group Plc. After a couple of months of due diligence, it walked away, citing 'insufficient engagement' by the LSE. A decade earlier, Nasdaq was given the cold shoulder from management that saw London as 'the natural center of the world's equity flows.' As it turns out, the American exchanges didn't need to buy LSE to win London's market – they just needed patience. US markets are steadily picking off London's prized listings one by one, exemplified by fintech pioneer Wise Plc's recent decision to shift its primary listing to New York. Wise, worth about $15 billion, adds to a growing list of departures. Construction-equipment firm Ashtead Group Plc announced its move in December, while former FTSE 100 constituents CRH Plc, Ferguson Enterprises Inc and Flutter Entertainment Plc have already relocated.
