The Growing Importance of Customer Experience
As customer experience (CX) becomes a key differentiator and source of competitive advantage
enterprises are facing increasing pressure to move faster, personalize at scale, and continuously
improve performance—while managing complexity and mitigating risk. The rapid advancements
in artificial intelligence (AI) have lowered the cost and time required to develop software, reshaping
the way businesses approach customer service Tactful AI addresses this challenge with a unique
CX platform that helps enterprises turn customer data into actionable insights. The platform enables
teams to quickly adapt, transitioning from traditional automation to Agentic AI-driven execution
where AI can independently manage customer requests from start to finish, within defined
operational guidelines
