ReportUse of automation, AI, and chatbots to improve customer engagements
A study from Forrester Consulting looks at how business decision makers around the globe are using automation and AI customer experiences.
As customers increasingly turn to Conversational Commerce (the ability to use messaging apps to ask questions, make purchases, and get help), their expectations are also changing. According to the study, customers expect their interactions to be “personalized,” “effective,” and “easy.” Forrester shares examples and recommendations for brands’ AI customer experience strategies in the full report.

AI-powered messaging
Only about a third of businesses feel they can react to customer wants and needs in real time. Companies are shifting away from phone and in-person interactions towards chat and messaging to serve customers. Usage of chatbots and automation is also expected to increase.
Human + AI customer experience
The study “found that companies must use automation, AI, and human resources together to deliver interactions that are in line with customer expectations. This combination drives loyalty, satisfaction, and revenue, while giving companies invaluable access to additional data on interactions.”
Increasing revenue
Increasing revenue to the company is the top driver for using AI/automation, with 76% of AI users reporting that they achieved higher revenue growth over the last 12 months versus the previous 12 months.
