The Right Mix: How Human + AI Drives Real CX Transformation


In the race towards CX automation, the truly forward-thinking teams understand that replacing humans isn't the goal. Instead, they're building powerful "superteams" where AI and human agents collaborate seamlessly, each leveraging their unique strengths. At Level AI, we are built on this very principle and have empowered leading brands to achieve this optimal blend without sacrificing what matters most—empathy, trust, and quality.
Why 'AI vs. Agents' Is the Wrong Debate
The temptation to view CX transformation as a simple equation—more bots for fewer humans to cut costs—is understandable, but it's fundamentally flawed. This 'AI vs. Agents' mindset often leads to critical missteps:
- Missed nuances and context in critical customer interactions
- Increased customer frustration due to impersonal experiences
- Long-term brand erosion as trust diminishes
Customers crave genuine connection and empathy – qualities that are indispensable in both human and AI agents.

The most successful CX organizations, powered by platforms like Level AI, don't just automate; they strategically amplify their CX teams. They leverage AI to:
- Automate where it matters: Create seamless journeys and deliver intelligent responses at scale.
- Provide real-time agent assistance: Equip agents with the right information and guidance instantly.
- Ensure consistent quality: Automatically analyze 100% of both AI and human agent conversations to identify coaching opportunities and best practices in real-time.

- Uncover deep insights: Identify critical trends and patterns across millions of customer interactions to inform strategy.
The most successful teams focus on integrating automation, quality, and intelligence into a unified CX stack.
Instead of a blanket approach to automation, these teams thoughtfully determine:
➡️ What tasks are best handled by AI for efficiency?
➡️ Where is the human touch essential for best customer experience?
