The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming industries, and customer success is no exception. Current trends show a rapid increase in AI adoption. This is driven by the potential to personalise interactions, automate routine tasks, and gain valuable insights from customer data among other solutions.
However, the transition requires careful consideration of how AI can blend with existing customer success practices. The goal is to ultimately develop a combination of AI capabilities and human empathy, leading to more satisfying and effective customer experiences.
This is where natural language processing (NLP) comes in. The power of NLP can be leveraged to understand customer queries and sentiment analysis to determine their emotional state.
In this episode, Kevin Petrie, VP of Research at BARC, speaks to Kate Neal, Senior Director of Customer Success at Gainsight, about the evolving role of AI in customer success.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
