AI Won’t Save Your Customer Experience—But This Might...
Episode 401
Monday, 12 May, 2025
Episode Summary: Everyone’s talking about AI like it’s some kind of CX fairy godmother—“Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Your NPS just went up 50 points!” Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work like that. In this episode, Colin and Ryan are joined by Frederic Durand, CEO of Diabolocom, and Collin D. Ehret, Senior Enterprise Sales Director (yes, another Collin… brace yourself), for a no-fluff, practical, and slightly irreverent discussion about what it really takes to implement AI in your customer experience. Diabolocom Website: https://www.diabolocom.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/diabolocom/ Frederic Durand LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fpdurand/ Collin D. Ehret LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/collinehret/ This is a must-listen if you're wondering: Why most AI deployments stall before takeoff How to avoid drowning in customer data Why your silos are killing your CX And how AI can actually make your human interactions better You’ll hear real-world examples, hard-earned insights, and maybe even a laugh or two (two Colins on one podcast—what could go wrong?). 🔥 Best Quote from the Episode: “AI isn’t a magic wand. If your process is a mess, AI will just make it a faster, more expensive mess.” — Frederic Durand, Diabolocom 🎯 Key Takeaways: Start small, think big: The best AI implementations begin with narrow, clearly defined use cases—not a 3-year transformation plan with 47 KPIs. Data is your foundation: If your data isn’t clean, your AI won’t be either. Garbage in = garbage out, just faster and more confidently wrong. Break the silos: AI can’t fix your customer experience if Marketing, IT, and Customer Service are all playing in separate sandboxes. Empathy still wins: When AI takes care of the boring stuff, your humans can focus on being... well, human. And that’s what customers remember. Vendors should act like partners: Don’t buy tools. Build relationships with people who’ve seen the battlefield—and won.
