- Evaluate AI support platforms and calculate ROI for your organization
- Apply lessons from real-world AI support failures to avoid common pitfalls
Course Syllabus
Customer support is where AI delivers the clearest, most measurable ROI in business. The numbers are hard to argue with: AI chatbots cost $0.50 per interaction versus $6.00 for a human agent. Response times drop from hours to minutes. And the best implementations do this while keeping customer satisfaction high.
But the worst implementations — like Klarna’s high-profile reversal after replacing 700 agents with AI — prove that speed and cost savings mean nothing if customers are unhappy.
This course teaches you to build AI support systems that actually work.
