Back to the future: Building an AI support system for simplicity, speed, and empathy
For years, the promise of AI in customer support has been stuck in the wrong decade — flashy chatbots, confusing setup flows, and tools that seem designed for engineers, not support teams. The result? More complexity than clarity. It’s time to hit 88 miles per hour and fast-forward to what AI in support should look like. Simple to set up, lightning-fast to respond, and deeply human at its core. In this session, we’ll unpack what went wrong with today’s “AI-powered” tools and what it really takes to build an intelligent, empathetic support system that teams actually want to use. You’ll see how modern AI can power every stage of the customer journey — from routing and resolution to coaching and insight — without ever losing the human touch. We’ll explore: - Why most AI initiatives fail to deliver real value (and how to fix that) - How to design AI that amplifies your team instead of replacing them - What a truly modern, plug-and-play AI support stack looks like in practice Join us as we travel back to the future, not to chase hype, but to rediscover what customer support was always meant to be: simple, fast, and human.
