How Leaders Should Adopt AI in Customer Support?
How Leaders Should Adopt AI in Customer Support?
How leaders should (or should not) adopt AI right now? Intentionally. AI adoption isn't a marketing problem. It's a human one.Leaders keep shipping AI and wondering why adoption stalls. The gap isn't the technology - it's trust, time, and the humans (who are overwhelmed, skeptical, or just trying to get through their day) expected to use it.You don't overcome hesitation with features. You overcome it by showing up, proving it works, and giving people permission to start small. One prompt. One task. Thirty minutes back in your day.The leaders who win won't be the ones with the flashiest AI strategy. They'll be the ones who got their people to actually use it.

Great support design isn’t decoration. It’s the system that decides whether customers trust you, or leave.
Chad Horenfeldt
VP of Customer Success
Siena AI
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.
Jessica-Rose Garcia
Senior Manager, Customer Experience and Support
OneSkin
AI doesn’t fail because the tech isn’t ready. It fails when leaders don’t define ownership, guardrails, and accountability before deploying it.
