We expect companies will push to be more efficient in customer communication. Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were originally developed for call center optimization, and this space remains a major area of growth. For example, Zurich Insurance Group acquired conversational AI startup AlphaChat in late 2021 with the aim of improving customer service through virtual agents and chatbots.
