The Impact of AI on Customer Service
AI has shown up everywhere in recent months, even taking fast food orders in drive-thrus. And with it come many ethical gray areas and calls to slow down the speed of its development. One of the biggest opportunities and fastest adoption rates is in customer service.
But AI‘s growth in customer service brings a big question: Will AI replace human customer service jobs?
By automating mundane tasks, AI could provide a better experience for customers with more self-service options and help fix some of the industry’s biggest problems, especially employee burnout and inefficiency.
The overall impact of AI on Customer Service
To conclude, the swift integration of AI in customer service has revolutionised how companies interact with their customers. It’s crucial as it allows personalization, real-time information, 24/7 availability, predictive analysis, continuous improvement, omnichannel experience, and profitability.
How will AI replace customer service?
The way I view AI is as the ultimate assistant for agents. For example, we know that 81% of customers are happy for companies to use their data to offer better, personalized recommendations. AI can look at a customer’s entire purchase history and proactively recommend suggestions to the agent to give to the customer.

What is the impact of AI on CRM?
By leveraging AI algorithms, salespeople can identify potential customers with higher accuracy and prioritize their efforts accordingly. AI-powered CRM systems can analyze large volumes of data to provide valuable insights, enabling sales teams to make data-driven decisions and close deals more effectively.
