What is the difference between Pega GenAI Coach and Knowledgebuddy exactly?

Pega GenAI Coach is a workflow-embedded assistant that continuously analyzes case data, business rules, and best practices to proactively recommend the next best action — functioning like a virtual mentor guiding users through each step of a case.

Pega Coach is a run-time feature in Pega Platform that acts as an intelligent assistant, offering personalized guidance and support. Users interact with Coach to receive context-aware recommendations and step-by-step assistance for navigating complex workflows and tasks. They can ask predefined questions about the case summary and its processes and get intuitive answers without needing deep technical expertise.

Pega Coach is ideal when users tend to ask the same kinds of questions—such as those about a Case summary—or when tighter control over questions and answers is required.

Knowledge Buddy, by contrast, is a RAG-powered Q&A assistant that retrieves and synthesizes information from knowledge articles and documents, serving as an enterprise knowledge companion for on-demand information retrieval.
