AI is reshaping the business world, and nowhere is its impact more transformative than in technical support. But as Grant Gross highlights in his recent article for CIO, many IT leaders feel under pressure to deliver AI solutions without fully grasping the technology's nuances. At Ascendo AI, we see this gap not as a challenge but as an opportunity—an invitation to rethink how organizations deploy AI in ways that are intuitive, scalable, and transformative.
Gross’s article underscores a central truth: the fast-paced evolution of AI means today’s expertise might not fully prepare organizations for tomorrow’s needs. This dynamic can feel daunting, but it also opens the door to innovation. The secret lies in collaboration—not just between people but also between humans and AI. That’s where AI Agents and AI teammates come in.
Empowering Support Teams with AI Teammates
Gross’s article sheds light on the pressing need for CIOs to close the AI knowledge gap. The solution isn’t just about learning more—it’s about leveraging the right tools and partnerships. At Ascendo AI, our AI teammates are designed to make this transition seamless. These agents aren’t just tools; they’re collaborators, streamlining repetitive tasks and helping human agents focus on complex, relationship-driven work.
Imagine an AI teammate that can instantly analyze data, predict customer needs, and recommend solutions—all in real time. This not only accelerates issue resolution but also improves the overall customer experience. By offloading routine inquiries to AI teammates, support teams can focus on what matters most: empathy, creativity, and problem-solving.
Learning Through Partnership and Experimentation
Grant Gross emphasizes the importance of partnerships, quoting Salesforce CIO Juan Perez, who recommends working with trusted AI vendors to mitigate risks and build expertise. This aligns perfectly with Ascendo AI’s collaborative approach. Partnering with an experienced AI provider means your team doesn’t have to reinvent the wheel. Instead, they can focus on learning how to work alongside AI teammates to maximize impact.
Seth Blank, CTO at Valimail, highlights the value of experimentation. Starting with small, targeted AI projects allows teams to build confidence while identifying where AI adds the most value. This is why we often recommend pilot programs where AI Agents handle repetitive, low-risk tasks, giving teams room to adapt and scale gradually.
Addressing the AI Learning Curve
The learning curve is a natural part of adopting any transformative technology. Gross cites Pavlo Tkhir’s call for investing in training—not just for IT leaders but for entire teams. At Ascendo AI, we couldn’t agree more. AI teammates are only as effective as the teams they support, and understanding their capabilities fosters trust and collaboration.
Our AI platforms are designed to adapt and learn alongside your team, becoming smarter and more efficient with use. This iterative approach ensures that your organization doesn’t just adopt AI but grows with it, unlocking new possibilities along the way.
Building for Long-Term Success
As Gross points out, successful AI adoption isn’t just about deploying technology today—it’s about building a foundation for tomorrow. In technical support, that means using AI to enhance efficiency, improve customer experiences, and free human agents to focus on strategic, high-value tasks.
At Ascendo AI, we’re here to guide organizations through this journey. With AI teammates that adapt to your workflows and the expertise to help you integrate them seamlessly, we make the transition to AI-driven support a collaborative, empowering process.
