What is the Production-Grade AI in Customer Service course about?
Many organizations launch AI initiatives in customer service with high expectations, only to see them stall when scaling beyond proof-of-concept. Inconsistent outputs, lack of auditability, poor handoffs between AI and human agents, and unclear ownership in hybrid teams erode trust and ROI. The gap isn’t ambition, it’s implementation rigor.
