The Problem

Marketing and customer experience teams are introducing AI into product discovery, recommendations, and support while lacking a reliable process for evaluating how each use affects customer trust. Internal confidence can exceed customer confidence, especially when data collection, consent, and downstream use are unclear. The appropriate use of AI also varies by brand, customer segment, and product category.

Potential Solution

Offer a consulting package that maps one customer-facing AI workflow, inventories the customer data it uses, reviews consent and disclosure language, and tests the experience with representative customers. Deliver a risk register, revised customer messaging, workflow changes, and launch criteria. Begin with expert-led audits and later productize the recurring assessment templates, testing protocol, and monitoring process.

Why Now?

Brands are adopting agentic AI faster than customers are becoming comfortable with its use of their data. That trust gap creates an immediate pre-launch and remediation need for teams adding AI to customer acquisition and shopping experiences.

Because they're not sure about where their data is being used. How is the AI going to use their data? Where else will it land up? We're still talking about customer trust. So as long as your products, you can leverage AI, but you need to keep the customer voice intact, right? So the customer doesn't care whether you're using Agentic AI in your platform. To them, is it helping them find the product that they need or they did not know they need it, but finally they do want it, right? So is it helping them find that? That's all they care about. As long as we can do it in a way where it doesn't feel intrusive, where we are respecting their privacy and take their consent and do it in a thoughtful manner and an authentic manner.
