How Leaders Should Adopt AI in Customer Support?

Leaders shouldn't adopt AI right now unless they're ready to confront its full complexity head-on. Far too many rush in thinking it's a simple "plug-and-play" efficiency boost, only to create bigger problems down the line.

Great support design isn’t decoration. It’s the system that decides whether customers trust you, or leave.

Chad Horenfeldt

VP of Customer Success

AI shouldn’t be used to deflect customers. It should be used to reveal what’s broken in the business.

Zack Hamilton

Strategic CX Advisor

Higher Oak

AI works best when it removes friction from work, not when it replaces judgment or accountability.

Rakesh Nath B.

Director of Customer Support

Phenom

AI adoption fails when teams fear it. It succeeds when leaders make learning and trust explicit.

Rohit Tripathi

Application Support Engineer

Last Yard

AI should remove friction from work, not distance people from customers. When judgment stays human and AI handles repetition, both trust and empathy scale.

Senior Manager, Customer Experience and Support

AI doesn’t fail because the tech isn’t ready. It fails when leaders don’t define ownership, guardrails, and accountability before deploying it.
