WE ARE BACK with another Women in Customer Success limited edition episode, where we bring you an exclusive PowerUp Masterclass in partnership with our friends at Gainsight.
In today’s conversation, we’ll explore how Agentic AI is reshaping CS roles and workflows, why it will not replace humans but instead change how we scale, and the practical steps you can take today to prepare your team.
We discuss:
- How AI agents disrupt the old “growth = more headcount” model
- Where AI delivers meaningful value in CS, and where it still falls short
- Practical, low-lift steps to prepare: cleaning your data, setting guardrails, and upskilling your team
You’ll walk away with actionable insights to future-proof your CS strategy and confidently embrace the age of AI and agents.
