The Ubiquity of AI in Daily Tasks
AI is instrumental in managing daily tasks, including social media posts, email communications, and customer call transcriptions. For example, all social media posts are initially drafted using AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, reflecting a reliance on AI for content creation. Customer calls are recorded and transcribed via Zoom, then synced with GraphQL for deeper analysis, showcasing a commitment to leveraging AI for efficiency. Even interactions in support channels, while less focused on AI, still integrate insights from these exchanges into later AI processes.
