The Top 5 AI Solutions For Customer Experience

As Your Customer Experience Consultant, one of the most common questions I hear from businesses is:

"How can we use AI to improve our customer journey without losing that human touch?"

That's a great question, and I'm excited to explore it with you today.

AI has completely transformed how we deliver support, collect feedback, and personalise the customer experience. But with so many tools, knowing which solutions are right for your business can be overwhelming.

So, I've compiled a short, strategic list of the top 5 AI solutions for customer experience—tools I've seen in action, recommended in consultations, and watched transform how companies serve their customers.

Let's dive in.

1. Zendesk AI – Seamless Support, Smarter Conversations

Zendesk has long been a leader in customer support, but its AI tools take things to the next level. These features include automated ticket routing, suggested answers, and intent detection, helping support teams focus on high-value interactions.

💡 Why I recommend it: Zendesk AI is perfect for businesses already using Zendesk who want to add automation without rebuilding their entire support system.

2. Intercom Fin – Conversational AI That Feels Human

Intercom's "Fin" is a Generative AI chatbot designed to resolve customer questions instantly. Its power lies in its natural response, which improves both speed and satisfaction.

💬 "Fin feels like you're chatting with a knowledgeable team member—not just a bot."

Intercom offers deep integrations and behavioural insights, making tracking the customer journey across channels easier.

3. Salesforce Einstein – Predictive AI Power Meets Personalisation

Salesforce Einstein brings the magic of AI right into your CRM. It helps teams predict customer needs, automate tasks, and personalise communication at scale.

If you're already using Salesforce, this is a no-brainer. But even if you're not, the technology here gives us valuable inspiration on structuring an intelligent customer experience strategy.

4. Ada – No-Code AI for Instant Support

Ada offers an easy-to-deploy AI chatbot that doesn't require technical expertise to set up. Companies like Zoom and Shopify use it to deflect tickets and streamline support.

🛠️ During a consultation with a SaaS client, implementing Ada cut their first-response time by over 50% in just two weeks.

It's an excellent choice for scaling teams who want to provide 24/7 support without increasing headcount.

5. HubSpot AI Tools – AI Meets Marketing, Sales & Service

HubSpot's AI tools span the entire customer journey—from marketing automation to service chatbots and CRM data enrichment. This makes it an excellent all-in-one platform for small—to mid-sized teams focused on growth.

✅ HubSpot's strength is in unifying customer data and automating communication, which creates a smoother experience for your team and customers.

So, Which AI Tool is Right For You?

Each platform offers a different angle on how AI can support your customer experience goals. The best solution depends on your systems, team size, and customer needs.

That's where consultation comes in.

As Your Customer Experience Consultant, I work closely with businesses to map their customer journeys, identify friction points, and recommend AI tools that align with their short—and long-term goals.

Whether you're just starting to explore automation or looking to refine a current CX strategy, an AI solution can help you work smarter—not harder.
