Whatever sector of business your company is operating, your customers’ expectations for seamless user experience is growing driven by their experiences with contemporary global web services, where AI is setting the bar higher and higher. What should be your next steps to meet and exceed this growing demand in Saudi Arabia?

The future of customer support is intrinsically linked to the advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and the strategic deployment of AI-driven tools like ChatGPT. As businesses strive for differentiation in a competitive market, the focus has shifted towards creating seamless user experiences that not only resolve queries efficiently but also anticipate customer needs. The integration of AI into customer support systems has been transformative, offering personalized, 24/7 assistance while freeing human agents to handle more complex issues.

In the realm of B2C businesses, the role of IT managers has evolved to not only oversee the implementation of these technologies but also to ensure they align with the company's vision and customer service ethos. AI-powered chatbots have become the frontline of customer interactions, providing instant responses to common inquiries and facilitating transactions. This shift towards AI-driven support is not just about efficiency; it's about enhancing the customer journey at every touchpoint.

Saudi Arabia presents a compelling case study on the impact of AI in customer support. The Kingdom's Vision 2030 has catalyzed the adoption of AI across various sectors, with customer support being a prime beneficiary. For instance, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) has been pivotal in driving the nation's AI agenda, fostering an environment where businesses can leverage AI to revolutionize customer interactions. Additionally, Al Rajhi Bank's implementation of an AI-powered chatbot named "Rajhi" exemplifies the potential of AI to streamline customer service in the banking sector, enhancing the user experience while optimizing operational efficiency.

Another notable example is the partnership between SCAI, STC, and DataRobot, which aims to establish a regional AI development hub in Saudi Arabia. This initiative underscores the commitment to not only adopt AI solutions but also to develop local expertise and innovation in the field. These cases illustrate the tangible benefits of AI in customer support, from improved response times to more personalized service, ultimately contributing to customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Another region-specific case study where Deggex was directly involved was centered on a well-established retail chain that wanted to improve its customer service and operational efficiency by using an AI assistant to handle common queries and tasks. The Software Engineering team was already fully engaged with core projects, so the company decided to go with Deggex-powered solution of AI-based assistant platform coupled with a dedicated integration team of professionals and support from the developer. In less than 2 months the new AI assistant was successfully integrated with the company's existing systems and channels, such as a mobile app, website, phone, and email.

The AI assistant was able to provide personalized and relevant information, tailored answers beyond FAQs, complaints and info on many other topics. At the same time, customer satisfaction increased by 25% (the main reason to quoted by "ability to get the response quickly and accurately to my needs"), operational cost decreased by 15% (driven by the reduction of the workload and errors of the human staff), revenue increased by 10% (driven by cross-sales of products and services based on the customer's profile and preferences). In short, the company was able to implement an AI assistant to handle a large volume of requests and interactions without compromising the quality or speed of service while staying within the budget and zero overhead for the Software Engineering team.

Needless to say that in all the cases above the successful integration of AI into customer support is contingent upon a culture-centric approach to hiring. AI solutions are only as effective as the people who deploy and manage them. Therefore, it is imperative for organizations to prioritize culture-centric hiring practices that align with their core values and customer-centric vision. This approach ensures that the workforce is not only technically proficient but also embodies the company's ethos, working synergistically with AI to deliver exceptional customer support.

Summary

In conclusion, the future of customer support is undeniably intertwined with AI and tools like ChatGPT. The examples from Saudi Arabia demonstrate the transformative power of AI in enhancing customer experiences. Yet, the full benefits of AI can only be realized through a culture-centric hiring strategy that ensures the integrity of the organization and its unwavering focus on the customer's best interests. IT managers must champion this synergy between technology and human talent to navigate the evolving landscape of customer support. By doing so, we can unlock the full potential of AI to create user experiences that are not just seamless but also deeply resonant with our customers' expectations and needs.
