Key Quotes

Agents won't necessarily be replacing humans, they will be making every employee a super employee. It's like, look, will you have somebody come to work today and say, hey, I don't want to use computers. I'll just do everything on pen and paper. They will just not be very effective as an employee, even if they are very smart, compared to other employees.

Because why do you want to multiply two large numbers with pen and paper when a calculator can do it? It's the same thing. Why do you want to spend much of your walk time on things that you don't like to do? These are the soul-crushing part of your job. You are actually better off that.

An AI employee colleague of yours does it under your supervision, under your instruction. So I think of this more like humans working with AI hand in hand rather than AI replacing humans.

We have AI employees today working in customer support, helping resolve 80% or over, sometimes 90% tickets for our customers at a proficiency level better than humans.

Key Takeaways

  1. AI agents can significantly enhance customer support by resolving 80-90% of tickets, demonstrating their potential to handle repetitive tasks across various business functions such as HR and marketing.

  2. To effectively integrate AI agents, businesses must document and update their processes, as AI agents require clear guidelines to mimic human roles and adapt to company-specific workflows.

  3. Data privacy is crucial when deploying AI agents; ensure that all personally identifiable information is redacted and consider using private cloud solutions to prevent data exposure to public LLMs.

Richie Cotton: Hi Surojit, welcome to the show.

Surojit Chatterjee: Thank you. Very excited to be here.

Richie Cotton: Excellent. So people have been talking about AI agents being the next big thing for a few months now. Can you tell me what's the coolest example of an AI agent you've seen so far?

Surojit Chatterjee: There are a lot of cool AI agents out there, a lot of claims. I'll give an example from maybe our own customer base. We have AI employees which are actually slightly more complicated than AI agents. They are a collection of agents. But we have AI employees today working in customer support. helping resolve 80 percent or over, sometimes 90 percent tickets for our customers at a proficiency level better than humans.

So to me, that's, pretty amazing and shows what's the, potential here. We are seeing a lot of applications in customer support, HR, employee experience, sales and marketing automation. And across the board, horizontally, in lots of different interesting use cases. 

Richie Cotton: So that's pretty cool. Sort of 80 to 90 percent of customer support tickets being resolved by an agent. And you mentioned that it's also sort of HR, marketing. Are there any other areas of business or any of the particular types of AI agents that you think are common?

Surojit Chatterjee: Look, at this point, it's kind of proven that customer support is, actually works, companies are using it. We are addressing a lot of that. demand ourselves and there are ot
