Machines are customers too!

Redesigning CX for the AI-First World

The Wake-Up Call

Your next customer won't have a face, feelings, or patience for poor performance. Right now, Walmart's AI is autonomously closing nearly 70% of vendor contracts. HP printers are ordering their own ink. Perplexity AI and Chat-GPT Agent are buying products on behalf of humans. The machine customer evolution isn't coming. It's already here.

The Stakes

This is the most important question facing professionals today: How do you capture, convert and serve a customer when your customers are no longer human?

Why This Matters Now

  • 50% will have one within 2 years

  • Machine customers are making billion-dollar purchasing decisions without human intervention

  • Your traditional CX tools—journey maps, personas, emotional touchpoints—are breaking
