What does customer experience look like when AI starts acting on behalf of the customer?
As AI agents increasingly understand customer context, remember past behavior, and reduce friction, they begin to insert themselves between companies and customers.
That shift has major implications for CX, branding, differentiation, and how organizations stay relevant when customers stop visiting websites, apps, and even stores.
This conversation focuses entirely on the customer’s perspective, not internal AI efficiency. It’s about what happens when customers trust AI agents to search, filter, recommend — and sometimes even buy for them.

Why You Should Listen
If you’re responsible for customer experience, strategy, marketing, or growth, this episode challenges some deeply held assumptions about how customers discover, evaluate, and choose brands.
Rather than focusing on internal AI use cases, this conversation looks outward — at how customer behavior is shifting and what that means for organizations that want to remain visible, relevant, and chosen in an AI-first world.
This episode doesn’t give you a checklist. It gives you something more valuable:
a new way of thinking about where CX is heading — and why waiting is risky.
