Dialogflow CX is production-grade. Your governance should be too. ECP is the control plane that closes the gap between what Dialogflow CX can build and what enterprise compliance actually requires — without replacing GCP's infrastructure security.
Dialogflow CX gives your team visual flow builders, generative AI agents powered by Gemini 2.5, CI/CD pipeline hooks, environment versioning, and webhooks into your CRM and backend systems. What it doesn't give you: cross-flow prompt governance at runtime, behavioral drift detection across 20+ deployed flows, immutable agent-decision audit trails, and policy enforcement that survives a model upgrade from Gemini 1.5 → 2.5. When Google auto-upgraded agents in 2025, enterprise teams found out in production. ECP would have caught it in policy review.

Live Customer ConversationsDialogflow CX runs on Gemini. Google upgrades models. Your agents change behavior. In 2025 Google deprecated gemini-1.0-pro, gemini-1.5-pro, and gemini-1.5-flash — auto-upgrading active agents to successor models. For enterprise teams running 20+ flows across healthcare, financial services, or insurance, generative fallback behavior shifted without a deployment event. ECP snapshots the behavioral baseline of every agent before model transitions and surfaces drift in real time.
Every Playbook goal, generative fallback prompt, and data store instruction tracked and versioned in ECP's prompt registry. Full diff history. One-click rollback. Works alongside Dialogflow CX's native change history — not instead of it.
Dialogflow CX supports up to 20 independent flows per agent and 40,000 intents. ECP applies a unified policy layer across all of them — enforcing what agents can offer, escalate, or decline at runtime, regardless of which flow is active.
Dialogflow CX webhooks fire into CRMs, payment systems, scheduling tools. ECP applies granular access control — which agents can call which tools, under what conditions — with a complete invocation log for compliance review.
Running parallel Dialogflow CX environments (dev/staging/prod)? ECP monitors behavioral variance between them and across your production fleet. Know before your compliance auditor does.
GCP Cloud Logging handles infrastructure events. ECP handles agent decision events — which policy was applied, which prompt was active, which tool was invoked, and why. Exportable, timestamped, immutable.
When Google deprecates a model or auto-upgrades to a successor, ECP runs a behavioral baseline comparison and flags agents likely to exhibit changed behavior — before traffic exposes it.
Regulated industries running Dialogflow CX — healthcare contact centers, financial services IVR, insurance claims, telecom support — where 'the model was upgraded' is not an acceptable compliance explanation.
Teams owning the Dialogflow CX deployment who are fielding pressure from legal, infosec, or compliance to produce agent-behavior audit records that GCP Cloud Logging doesn't capture.
Architects managing 10+ flows who need a governance signal before a prompt change or model upgrade ships to production.
CX CI/CD is excellent for testing intended behavior before deployment. ECP monitors actual behavior at runtime — after deployment, after model upgrades, after webhook logic changes, at the moment a customer asks something your test suite didn't anticipate. They are complementary. ECP doesn't replace your Dialogflow test pipeline. It watches what happens after it passes.
Connect ECP to your Dialogflow CX project via GCP service account.
Snapshot current agent configurations and generative prompts.
Define baseline policies and RBAC rules.
Enable drift monitoring across flows and environments.
Estimated setup: 1–2 days for a standard CX deployment
Ellavox AI runs Elacity ECP across ~1,000 active agents in production. Not a reference architecture. The same control plane shipping to Dialogflow CX customers now.
Flat governance capability pricing. Not per agent. Not per call. Not per token.
Scale your Dialogflow CX deployment however your business demands — ECP cost stays predictable.
Designed for teams who know that GCP compliance means more than checking the infrastructure box.
