Outcomes > Outputs

Today, we're used to receiving outputs when it comes to SaaS products. We provide an input and it gives us a consistent output. An employee likely needs to use many different SaaS products + outputs to complete a specific task and deliver the ultimate outcome.
 
AI gives us a paradigm shift. Because the next generation of AI-first SaaS products will deliver the entire outcome. Like a micro-employee on auto-pilot.
 

Consider Customer Support

To solve a support ticket, an agent needs:
 
  • Public help docs
  • Internal help docs
  • Support messaging/email platform
  • CRM for customer plan info, etc.
 
An agent will need to look at these different information sources, consider the customer's unique situation/background, and use their intuition and intelligence to write a response. Hopefully the response solves the customer's issues, which is the desired outcome for the agent.
 
But with an AI-first customer support platform, the entire thing runs on auto-pilot. Working to resolve the customers questions and issues, without involving any support agents. Agents are only brought into the loop for the small minority of cases that need a human touch.
