Agentic AI takes center stage in the next phase of automation
Agentic AI marks a pivotal evolution in enterprise automation, enabling systems to autonomously make decisions and take meaningful action. As organizations navigate economic pressures and rising customer expectations, implementing agentic AI offers a scalable way to enhance service delivery, improve operational efficiency, and reduce costs.
Gerent has developed a range of AI-enhanced agents that function internally to support employees and externally to enhance customer support. These include sales representative agents that independently engage with leads by sending emails, scheduling meetings, and recommending products, and CX agents that interact with customers to answer questions, resolve issues, and provide personalized recommendations without human support. These capabilities and expertise are well aligned with Fuel iX™, TELUS Digital’s proprietary AI platform and suite of products.
