  • The best and most impactful experiences I’ve seen across the board are those that enable natural, seamless conversations. There’s no “Press 1 for billing” or “You can say things like…”—just open-ended conversations that allow customers to express themselves as they would with a human, and guide the conversation to quickly and easily achieve their goal.

  • My top piece of advice for businesses looking to further invest in conversational AI systems is to understand the customer journey—from a person’s first engagement with the brand to continued support post-transaction. Businesses need to understand how customers like to communicate and what pain points exist in the process today, and develop a cohesive strategy accordingly with personalization and contextual information woven in throughout. Taking this step will help you deliver on the experiences customers crave today.
