What are some processes and opportunities for businesses to take advantage of what AI offers. But keep the the people part, keep it, keep it still human centric.
Elvira Ciambella
Absolutely. Well number one we have to start by demystifying it because you need that understanding in order to get the buy in and the the inclusivity. So perhaps the repetitive, redundant, more transactional tasks, perhaps that's a great use case for AI. But guess what's going to happen as those tasks go away, you might have the opportunity to work on more value added and have more time to speak to a client. Let me let me give you a really easy example: call summarization. So when a client calls rather than the worker logging, capturing the information, they are focused on what they're hearing. They're truly listening. They're not worried about a spelling mistake that they made in a case, or they're totally focused on the request and they're able to start solutioning with the caller. So the skill set required, you don't necessarily need how to summarize that call. You don't necessarily need to worry about all of the technicalities of your CRM system. Focus on the client. So perhaps we will need some upskilling when it comes to truly understanding the right questions to get to the bottom of of of a customer request, or if you're taking away those transactional, repetitive tasks, you want to grow the mindset to become that strategic partner for your client. So it really will require a, a reskill. But first and foremost, we have to demystify it. We have to make it real. On some use cases. I've never met somebody who said no. I actually love to transcribe a client conversation.

No?

So that's a perfect example of when we use AI the right way. And then could you imagine with all that information, all those calls, what we can do and how we can better suit our solutions to, to our clients?
