To solve the employee-support problem, “you actually have to solve the automation problem,” Serval co-founder and CEO Jake Stauch tells Bloomberg Intelligence senior technology analyst Anurag Rana on the Tech Disruptors podcast. In this episode, they discuss why Jake believes IT service-management (ITSM) providers such as ServiceNow are being disrupted by AI-native automation rather than better ticketing systems. They examine Serval’s approach to turning natural-language requests into deterministic workflows, why large enterprises are willing to replace entrenched ITSM platforms despite long migration cycles and how AI could reshape employee support, automation and the economics of internal service teams.
