Most AI chatbots are built to answer FAQs—but that only solves a fraction of the problem.

According to Deon Nicholas, founder of Forethought, just 23% of support inquiries are informational. The other 77% require action—like account lookups, password resets, and policy decisions.

That’s where most GenAI tools fall short—and where agentic AI steps in.

On the latest episode of The Modern Customer Podcast, recorded live at the Qualtrics X4 Summit, Deon and I go rapid-fire on the future of AI in CX and EX.

We cover: ✅ Why most chatbots can't handle the majority of real-world support needs ✅ What agentic AI is—and why it's reshaping customer experience ✅ How to personalize at scale without compromising trust ✅ What proactive AI looks like—and why it's the next evolution

If you're serious about using AI to drive real CX results, this episode is packed with insight you can’t afford to miss.
