How AI Agents Help Improve Your Customer Experience

Paul Meinshausen, co-founder of Aampe and head of agentic at MoEngage, joins Conversations with MarTech to discuss the evolving role of AI agents in marketing and customer experience (CX). This conversation unpacks where the industry truly stands on the AI adoption curve and how AI-driven orchestration is revolutionizing the modern customer journey. Key topics covered: The AI agent adoption curve: Are we in an AI hype cycle? Discover why marketing teams feel both high expectations and satisfaction gaps with early agent deployments. Reframing customer experience: Why CX hasn't stagnated, but rather how consumer expectations and touchpoints have evolved beyond simple "top-of-funnel" click metrics to full shopping-process interactions. Strategic governance and organizational friction: How AI agents help navigate complex internal trade-offs, solve corporate cross-departmental messaging conflicts, and reduce operational failure points. The "biggest lie" in marketing: Why the answers aren't simply trapped inside static data stores, and how dynamic, iterative feedback loops and reinforcement learning hold the key to driving real results.
