What is the Production-Grade AI in Customer Service course about?
Many organizations launch AI pilots with high expectations, only to stall when models fail under real load, lack auditability, or create friction in hybrid agent environments. Without production-grade design, AI initiatives degrade into maintenance burdens rather than force multipliers.
