Transforming Customer Support with AI
Konstantina Samara describes how Synthesia has implemented an AI-first customer support strategy to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction. As the head of support, she highlights the shift from traditional support methods to a system where customers can create videos quickly using AI avatars, eliminating the need for extensive production teams. This innovation allows customers with little technical knowledge to engage with content effectively, addressing the common issue of overwhelming information typically found in presentations. The increase in customer interactions demonstrates the platform's growth, with a dramatic rise from around 40,000 to over 300,000 inquiries within a few months, all managed without needing to scale the support team significantly.
