This podcast is based on the presentation I delivered in Miami at the "CX Under the Sun Event" to more than 100 CX professionals who are just beginning their journey with CX AI transformation.
During the presentation, I share my views on what is considered "real" regarding AI in the current market, what to be cautious about, and how to initiate AI integration within your organizations.
You won't find any unnecessary content or theoretical discussions here. It's all about the essential tools you should start exploring now and the reasons these tools need further development, regardless of what you might hear from AI technology providers.
