Beyond Chatbots: Building Customer Experiences for the Agent Economy

Abstract

As AI evolves from chatbots to autonomous agents, enterprises face a fundamental question: how do we redesign customer experiences for a world where AI doesn't just respond, but understands, remembers, and acts?

The discussion will focus on what enterprises are deploying today, the challenges of scaling AI agents in production, and the strategic priorities shaping the next generation of AI-powered customer engagement.
