The transformative impact of gen AI and agentic AI in the automotive industry

Customer service in automotive is becoming much more than a support function. Soon, it will be a driver of loyalty, insight, and brand perception, according to automotive executives who participated in a recent multi-industry study by the Capgemini Research Institute.

So how can automotive companies ensure they are ready to make the most of this transformation, and use AI in customer service for competitive advantage?

Our new infographic brings to life automotive industry findings and recommendations from the CRI study. It explores:

  • Challenges with current customer service functions inefficiency, agent job satisfaction and retention, and failure to meet rising customer expectations.
  • Expected benefits of gen AI and agentic AI, such as improved agent productivity, reduced costs, and more personalized and satisfying customer interactions.
  • Steps that companies must take to close gaps in their current AI capabilities: adjusting the customer service model, deploying the right technology architecture, and setting continuous improvement in motion.
