What is the Production-Grade AI in Customer Service course about?
Teams invest in AI tools that promise efficiency but collapse under real-world load, compliance scrutiny, or agent resistance. Without production-grade design, initiatives stall at pilot stage, wasting resources and eroding stakeholder trust.
