Customer experience is no longer just a competitive advantage—it’s the backbone of successful companies. In fact, 86% of buyers are willing to pay more for a great experience, yet only 1 in 3 companies actually deliver on customer expectations. The gap?

However, it can be difficult to measure these types of factors and produce usable data.

Organizations generate vast amounts of data that is proprietary to them, and it’s critical to get insights out of the data for better business outcomes. Generative AI and foundation models (FMs) play an important role in creating applications using an organization’s data that improve customer experiences and employee productivity. The FMs are typically pretrained on a large corpus of data that’s openly available on the internet.
