The discussions at our Customer Advisory Board made it clear that AI is a powerful tool for delivering outstanding customer experiences across industries.' The meeting explored challenges and opportunities in digital customer engagement across industries such as finance, insurance, retail, and aviation. Key concerns included data privacy, campaign ROI attribution, and the limitations of basic personalization, especially as regulatory requirements become stricter. Participants addressed the growing need for advanced tools like predictive analytics, enriched customer data, and seamless end-to-end journeys within single communication channels to minimize drop-offs and maintain trust. New monetization models, including 'ad-now, pay-later,' and the rising use of Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) mechanisms were also seen as drivers for more secure, compliant data-sharing strategies.

Attendees underscored the need to balance automation with human empathy, especially in emotionally sensitive use cases. Discussions also covered platform differentiation in emerging markets, the importance of segmenting customer needs (digital-first, hybrid, traditional), and tracking sentiment with tools like Net Promoter Score (NPS). Finally, the session reinforced a strong interest in industry-specific, domain-led AI solutions. Voice AI, churn prediction, and fraud detection were identified as high-potential use cases, especially in aviation and banking. Localization, including intuitive Arabic code names, and balancing user experience with security in BNPL authentication journeys were seen as crucial to adoption. The event witnessed strong enthusiasm for industry-specific solutions supported and developed by domain expertise. The event ultimately laid the foundation for a customer-led innovation community, with attendees eager to experiment, provide feedback, and help shape future solutions.
