Today’s episode of the Punk CX podcast features a chat that I had with Tom Eggemeier, the Chief Executive Officer of Zendesk, following the conclusion of Zendesk’s recent AI Summit. We talk about the highlights from the event, what’s different from what they announced at Relate back in March, how they now have 20,000 customers using their AI and where they are seeing the fastest and most effective adoption, their recent acquisition of HyperArc and what it will bring to their platform in terms of advanced reporting, analytics and insights, the launch of their voice AI agents and a whole bunch of other things, including an intriguing idea of how for some innovative brands the application of AI is creating a ‘service dividend.’

This interview follows on from my recent interview – The terms deflection and containment should be banned – Interviews from Cisco’s WebexOne – and is number 559 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.
