Conversation: Ready or not, enterprises are betting on AI Crunch

A: Hey there! You won't believe the news about AI this week!
B: No, what's up?

A: Well, Zendesk unveiled new AI agents that can handle 80% of customer service issues. Anthropic and IBM also announced a partnership.

B: Wow, sounds like big organizations need to be more careful when using AI.

A: Exactly! They can't just feed information into a model and call it a day. They have to make sure the info is real and not AI-generated nonsense!

B: That's definitely important. By the way, did you catch the Sora app news last week?

A: Oh yeah! They might use it to make money in five years, but for now, these companies are focusing on enterprise deals to make immediate revenue.

B: Makes sense. I've been hearing about more and more customer service automation. Zendesk announced a tool that could handle almost all customer service issues. Have you experienced it?

B: True, automation can be great, but it has to work well to keep people coming back. Let's hope they get it right!
