Transitioning from Experimentation to Industrialization
The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) is undergoing a significant transformation, moving from experimental phases to a more structured and reasoned industrialization, particularly in customer relations. This shift is marked by the rise of augmented agents, which are increasingly preferred over traditional chatbots due to their ability to enhance personal productivity and improve work quality.
