Which of the following experiences does your company prioritize for customer service?

84% of business leaders say they are currently using AI to engage with customers — and we're at a tipping point: just over half say they're now prioritizing messaging with AI over channels like phone, email, and ticketing systems.

Business leaders feel confident about using AI to engage with customers — 88% say if their customers could communicate with an automated system to get issues resolved quicker, it would increase their brand loyalty. But to close the AI gap, they have to make their automated processes as intuitive as possible. This starts by automating the most common intents: the things customers come back for over and over again.

With messaging and automation, you can safely talk to your clients in their channel of choice and in the language of their heart. That's how you gain true client intimacy.
