Embodiments provide a system and method for integrating a cognitive system into a call center. The system and method include ingesting, in real-time through an instant messaging application, one or more questions from one or more call center agents; ingesting, in real-time through the instant messaging application, one or more answers associated with the one or more questions; storing one or more question and answer pairs in a corpus; analyzing, through a cognitive system, the corpus of the one or more question and answer pairs; receiving, through the instant messaging system, one or more additional questions; determining a proposed answer to each additional question based on the analysis of the corpus; analyzing, through the cognitive system, the proposed answer; and incorporating the analysis of the proposed answer into the analysis of the one or more question and answer pairs. The answers can be provided by subject matter experts or call center managers. The cognitive system can interface with the instant messaging system through the use of a plug-in module, which can use one or more registration commands to facilitate the interface.
