Counter-intuitive Learning from Deploying AI Models in Production for Customer Support at Large SaaS Companies

Despite the human-like intelligence of the very latest AI models, people's expectations arestillfar higher than what the models can offer.

Companies Expect:

  1. Near-perfect answers, even to vague questions.
  1. Responses to be less than 3 seconds.
  1. Responses to use a specific tone of voice.
Thankfully, most of this is possible — for us and a small handful of competitors 😅 — and improving every day.
But I still find it surprising at how quickly we've gotten used to the intelligence of these AI models and expect them to operate like our top employees.
