Stop me if you\u2019ve heard this one before: the latest CX tech phenomenon is struggling to live up to the hype.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, in the year 2025, when we\u2019re discussing the latest tech phenomenon, we can only really be referring to AI.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, like the long list of tech advancements that have come before it, AI isn\u2019t delivering as advertised.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, for many contact centers, the reality has been a tangle of tools, dashboards, and alerts that leave agents feeling more burdened than empowered.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, despite these shortcomings, much of the customer service and experience sector appears to be doubling down on AI.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This leaves an opening for companies that are brave and creative enough with their AI strategies to differentiate themselves in a crowded marketplace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One such company is <\/span>Graia<\/span><\/a>, which focuses not on replacing agents but on helping them do their best work.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re redesigning the customer experience, it\u2019s about how humans and technology coexist,\u201d says <\/span>Sahil Rekhi<\/span><\/b>, <\/span>CRO of Graia<\/span><\/b>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur vision has always been to give agents ownership of the customer relationship, while providing the right technology to help them solve problems faster and more effectively.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a philosophy that may strike a chord with many contact center leaders today.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With agent turnover at record highs and tool fatigue spreading, organizations are beginning to realize that true efficiency comes not from automating people out of the process, but from augmenting human capability.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Problem with Current AI Tools<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The contact center industry has no shortage of AI solutions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

From call transcription to performance analytics, the technology stack has grown dense. Yet many leaders are finding that more technology doesn\u2019t always mean better outcomes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rekhi notes that this \u201cAI overload\u201d often creates more friction than it removes.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCompanies need to take a holistic view of what they\u2019re trying to achieve. Too often, AI is rolled out as a quick fix \u2013 something the board wants to see in action \u2013 without a broader change management wrapper around it,\u201d he explains.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s how you end up with tool fatigue and disengaged agents.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, Rekhi argues for a phased, empathetic approach, stating that \u201cAI isn\u2019t a binary switch; it\u2019s a journey over 12, 24, or 36 months. And that journey has to include people.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Graia man believes that this people-first mindset must start with communication. He emphasizes the need for leaders to be transparent about why AI is being adopted and how it benefits employees.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of fear out there, agents wondering, \u2018Is AI coming for my job?\u2019 The reality is, it\u2019s there to make their roles more valuable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Agent Empowerment Through Empathic AI<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Graia\u2019s platform is built on what Rekhi calls \u201cempathic AI,\u201d tools that simplify the agent\u2019s job rather than complicate it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first thing we ensure is that the agent owns the interaction,\u201d he says. \u201cTechnology should empower them to deliver faster resolutions, with the right context, tone, and empathy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That context awareness is a cornerstone of Graia\u2019s design. Through real-time voice and chat analysis, the platform tracks over 50 different emotional states, offering live guidance to agents on how best to engage.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If compliance risks arise, it can flag them instantly. If sentiment dips, it nudges the agent toward a more constructive tone.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like having a co-pilot that understands both the customer and the conversation,\u201d Rekhi explains.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAgents come out of those interactions with a genuine sense of achievement, feeling like they delivered on what they were hired to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In multilingual environments, that support becomes even more powerful.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, Rekhi details an example of Graia\u2019s BPO customers, where agents serve ten or more markets.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By deploying the vendor\u2019s real-time voice and chat translation, which covers more than 100 languages, agents can deliver seamless service without actually speaking all those languages.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where the idea came from: they\u2019re not superhuman, just using Graia,\u201d Rekhi says, referring to one of the company\u2019s tag lines.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Transforming Retention, Training, and Performance<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another side effect of the influx of AI tools for agents has been a greater emphasis being placed upon the agent experience, which has emerged as a top driver of customer satisfaction.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rekhi believes that AI can actually play a pivotal role in helping to improve the agent experience, particularly when it comes to retention and training.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHappier agents mean happier customers, better revenue, and less churn. That\u2019s proven in this industry,\u201d he says.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By using AI to automatically surface relevant knowledge, suggest next steps, and summarize calls, Graia helps reduce onboarding time and training overhead, as Rekhi explains:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo agent needs to be a subject matter expert anymore.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThey just need to know how to use the platform. AI takes care of the rest \u2013 tone, brand guidance, compliance prompts \u2013 all in real time.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For new hires, that means faster confidence and fewer early dropouts. For managers, it means consistent service quality without micromanagement.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rekhi adds: \u201cIt saves them precious time they can use to focus on high-value engagements, which ultimately drives better results for the business.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond onboarding, Graia\u2019s analytics feeds continuous improvement. By analyzing past interactions, both human and automated, the system identifies where agents typically need help, then refines training materials accordingly.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rekhi gives the example of a major automotive client using Graia to analyze dealership and roadside assistance calls, automatically generating training content and knowledge articles based on real customer interactions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Human Potential, AI-Assisted<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

As AI becomes a fixture of the modern contact center, Rekhi believes the winning formula lies in alignment, transparency, and consolidation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTry to bring everything behind a single agent desktop,\u201d he advises. \u201cThat one-time pain of integration is worth it. The ongoing pain of swivel-chair setups and attrition isn\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For Rekhi, the goal isn\u2019t to create superhuman agents; it\u2019s to make ordinary agents feel capable, confident, and supported:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about supercharging the employee, not replacing them. Companies that take that view will see AI adoption that truly sticks.\u201d <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
