Episode Highlights:
- Why Your AI CX Strategy Might Be Failing
Many companies approach AI in customer service as a cost-cutting tool rather than a strategic enabler. The result? Frustrated customers, limited adoption, and minimal ROI. The companies winning with AI focus on customer effort, proactive support, and AI-human collaboration.
- The New AI-Powered Roles in Customer Service
AI isn't just changing customer interaction; it's reshaping entire roles within CX teams. Ensure AI has structured, machine-readable information. Oversee bot behavior, monitor costs, and refine AI-generated responses. Design seamless AI-human customer journeys across multiple channels. Companies that fail to evolve their workforce will struggle to see lasting AI impact.
- How AI Is Fixing a Decades-Old CX Problem
For years, companies forced human agents to act like robots: reading from scripts, following rigid workflows, and optimizing for speed over experience. AI is flipping this model. AI-powered assistants help agents make better and faster decisions. Bots handle routine requests, freeing humans for complex, high-value interactions. Organizations embed CX across their entire operations.
