< back Your customer and you AI: going above and beyond the hype More detailed information This keynote touches upon the impact of AI on the customer experience, and how it intersects with the importance of building ecosystems. We will step into the world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't just a tool but the artist crafting customer journeys as unforgettable and unique as Spotify's iconic playlists. This keynote simplifies the vast potential of AI, breaking down how it’s the key to becoming as relevant in your industry as Spotify is in music. AI isn't just about algorithms or technology; it's about connections & people. It's the secret ingredient for businesses aiming to resonate deeply with their customers' needs and preferences. We’ll uncover the simple truths behind the sophisticated tech and beyond the hype — showing you how AI curates experiences with the precision and care of a personal concierge. We will explore together how being relevant today means knowing your customer better than they know themselves. With AI, you can anticipate what your customers will love next, just as Spotify suggests the perfect song for a Monday morning or a Friday night. But it’s not just about the one-on-one moments; it’s about crafting entire ecosystems that keep customers returning. Like Spotify, explore how your business can become a hub where every service, product, and interaction fits perfectly into the customer’s daily rhythm. Let’s journey through the basics of building these ecosystems — environments where every touchpoint is an opportunity, and every service is a note in a greater symphony of user experience. By the end of our time together, you'll have the blueprint to not just reach for relevance but to grasp it. You'll see how to create a space in your industry where customers feel at home, engaged, and understood — a place they’ll keep coming back to, just like their favorite playlist.
