In this panel discussion, seasoned professionals from Intercom and Front explore how automation can revolutionize both customer support and sales outreach (BDR/SDR) functions. They argue that while leading SaaS companies already embed automation into their customer‑facing workflows, a substantial opportunity remains to offload routine, foundational questions from highly skilled agents. By leveraging emerging AI‑driven tools, organizations can free up expensive talent to focus on complex, high‑value interactions, improve response times, and scale support and prospecting operations. The speakers highlight existing technologies, acknowledge current gaps, and call for broader adoption of intelligent automation across the customer‑experience stack.

But having come from Intercom and Front, which are both technologies that include automation as part of your strategy on how you talk to customers, I believe there's still big opportunity on whether it's customer support teams or BDR and SDR teams to automate some of the places where we have intelligent, expensive people answering very foundational, fundamental questions. I think there's some really good technologies out there tackling this, but still room to run. Erica?
