How AI Agents Are Redefining Customer Experience with Adrian McDermott, CTO at Zendesk

When will customer service be run entirely by bots?

Today, we're talking to Adrian McDermott, CTO at Zendesk, about how AI agents are transforming customer experience. We discuss why automation drives escalation instead of elimination, how Zendesk is moving from seat-based to outcome-based pricing with their resolution platform, and why the future of leadership requires being more like a slot machine than a vending machine.
