How Artificial Intelligence is Enhancing Customer Experiences

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can no longer be ignored in the digital age. Businesses need to understand how AI works. AI programs and services can transform virtually every aspect of a business.

Automated processes and artificial intelligence are deemed the most significant technological advances of the century. Modern companies are now using artificial intelligence and machine learning to transform interactions, relationships, revenue, and services. 

Approximately 51% of companies now use artificial intelligence to improve customer experiences and hyper-personalize them. A good customer experience can be achieved with the use of customer service applications.

What is Customer Experience?

Making a purchase, using a product, or receiving a pop-up message all start the customer life cycle. It can also include contacting customer support or using the product. In general, the better the customer experience with a brand, the more likely they are to continue using and recommending it. Net promoter score is essentially a measure of customer satisfaction. 

Customers who have positive experiences with a brand tend to buy from that brand again. As companies strive for positive customer experiences, they are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence.

As a result, marketing departments are no longer required to manually segment audiences, write campaigns, or respond to communications from customers personally. These activities can now be assisted by AI.

AI’s impact on customer experience

1. Customer understanding is facilitated by AI

Brands can gain a much more accurate understanding of their customers by combining automatic learning and AI to gather social, historical, and behavioral data.

AI software is continuously learning and improving as it analyses data and can anticipate customer behavior, unlike traditional data analytics programs. The result is more relevant content, more sales opportunities, and a better customer journey.

2. Increasing sales and customer satisfaction

The use of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly prevalent as companies look to maximize sales and customer satisfaction. 

A customer may see ‘recommended’ products while shopping online, for instance. To increase conversion and sales, brands can utilize clustering algorithms to provide better recommendations.

The same goals are being sought by these AI systems: to maximize purchases, sales, and customer satisfaction. The store, however, should not recommend products the customer does not like, since the customer is likely to return or not buy them.

3. Making real-time decisions and predicting behavior

A real-time decision is one made with near-zero latency by using the most current data available, such as data from current interactions between a customer and a business. 

The decision-making process can be used to market to customers more effectively using real-time data. Customers who use ad blockers can be identified in real-time and offered alternative UI components that keep them engaged.

One aspect of personalized recommendations is presenting customers with more relevant content. AI and real-time decision-making can optimize the experience of brands by recognizing and understanding customer intent as they produce data, in real-time.

4. The age of the AI chatbot is here

Customer service (via chatbots) is the leading application of artificial intelligence deployed today, according to an MIT Technology Review of 1,004 business leaders. As many as 73% of respondents believe companies will use AI for sales and marketing by 2022, followed closely by other departments at 59%.
