Hey CX Nation,

In this week's CXWeekly Update we walk through some ideas, goals & CTAs to begin leveraging AI in your business to improve your customer experiences.

AI has been arguably the most discussed topic in not only business but across the world over these last several years, this year specifically it became the "Forrest Gump" of Business & Global Economies.

The truth is, it's been around for decades but just working behind the scenes for a handful of global companies who were all competing to understand exactly how to leverage its gains & more importantly decide whether or not everyone else should know about its powers.

Don't worry we're still several years out from the "Terminator Wars", well hopefully.

Use this CXWeekly update as a starting point for building out your company's goals around leveraging AI to improve your customer & employee experience.

Most of the tools you are already using already have some form of AI/ML tied into their usage, you simply need to understand how to begin to leverage them.

Don't worry we have a ton of amazing guest interviews coming down the pipeline over the next couple of weeks as we start to wind down 2024.

Part of our goal for this year at CXC is to create more customer focused business leader content, including more short episodes like these ones that are digestible, actionable & most importantly entertaining & valuable for all of you.
