Here are findings from the State of Service: AI Agents Edition. The report is based on a survey of 3,075 customer service professionals globally, including 150 respondents from Canada.
A year ago, service organizations were debating how AI agents might deliver, especially in Canada where the market has historically lagged in adoption. This year’s findings show adoption is up, with Customer Satisfaction and Average Handle Time tied for the #1 improved metric, ahead of traditional operational metrics like service rep productivity, customer retention, and first response time.
