AI Hype Isn’t Paying the Bills
Salesforce just missed revenue expectations (again), and its stock took a hit.
The company is all-in on AI-driven automation and betting big on "AgentForce," but customers aren’t biting...yet.
Here’s the thing:
Replacing humans with bots doesn’t fix bad service.
High-touch industries win on relationships, not algorithms. This will ALWAYS be the case for the next 50+ years!
Customers don’t want “smarter” agents...they want better service.
AI doesn’t drive growth unless it enhances the experience, not replaces it.
Stop chasing hype. Start delivering results.
Is AI transforming business, or just making it more disconnected? Thoughts?
