What is generative AI & Why it matters in customer experience

Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence that can create original content such as text, images, code, and more by learning from large datasets. In customer experience, it’s unlocking breakthrough capabilities by:

  • Simulating natural, human-like conversations through chatbots and virtual assistants
  • Automatically generating personalized content: emails, messages, recommendations
  • Streamlining service by automating routine interactions and workflows

As digital expectations rise, generative AI is emerging as the engine behind smarter, faster, more personalized customer journeys. According to Deloitte, brands using AI to personalize customer journeys can see up to a 20% increase in customer satisfaction rates and a 40% reduction in customer service costs.

How generative AI improves customer experience 

Looking for real-world AI customer experience examples? This section explores how generative AI for customer experience is driving smarter service, deeper personalization, and more proactive engagement. From multilingual chatbots to predictive analytics, here’s how businesses are using AI to improve customer experience today:

1. Innovations to empower smarter CX

Generative AI isn’t just for content creation (text, images, code) - something about transforming customer-facing interactions - it’s also revolutionizing how teams design, test, and optimize experiences behind the scenes.  

Tools like Niteco’s Sample Size Genie help solve one of the most significant challenges in experimentation: planning. Through simple prompts, experiment experts can now plan experiments in minutes, as the tool automatically calculates sample size, baseline metrics, and timelines. By streamlining internal processes, teams can iterate faster and make more informed decisions that ultimately improve customer experiences. 

That’s how Generative AI drives innovation behind the scenes to empower better CX. This tool was named the Grand Winner of Optimizely’s Opal Tool Hackathon, with judges calling it “a true game-changer for data-driven decision-making and a shining example of how AI can directly benefit our developer community.”

2. Smart support systems

Generative AI powers 24/7 intelligent chatbots that can understand complex queries, provide accurate information, and even resolve issues without human intervention. These chatbots offer instant support, significantly reducing wait times and improving customer satisfaction. Furthermore, multilingual assistants break down language barriers, allowing businesses to provide consistent and high-quality support to a global customer base. 

Niteco enhanced Electrolux APAC’s customer support by implementing a Google Dialogflow-powered chatbot capable of handling multilingual queries across multiple markets. As a result, Electrolux saw significant improvements in average handling time and first-contact resolution, boosting efficiency and customer satisfaction. See full case study.

3. Conversational interfaces

Beyond text, generative AI is transforming conversational interfaces like Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems and voice assistants. Instead of rigid, menu-driven IVRs, businesses can now deploy dynamic IVRs that understand natural speech and guide customers more intuitively. Voice assistants offer a hands-free, convenient way for customers to interact, improving accessibility and overall experience. 

4. AI-driven CX analytics

CX analytics powered by generative AI enable businesses to process vast amounts of real-time feedback, from social media comments to call transcripts. This allows for immediate identification of customer sentiment and emerging issues. Additionally, generative AI can analyze past interactions and behaviors to provide accurate behavior prediction, allowing businesses to proactively address potential problems or offer relevant solutions before a customer even asks.

5. Personalized content at scale

One of the most impactful applications of using AI to improve customer experience is content personalization. Generative AI can create tailored product messaging for individual customers based on their Browse history, purchase patterns, and preferences. It also revolutionizes email automation, generating personalized email content that resonates with each recipient, leading to higher engagement and conversion rates. 

At Niteco, we're dedicated to delivering tailored content through AI-driven personalization. To deliver more relevant digital experiences, we've integrated Optimizely CMS with Azure Databricks' large language models (LLMs). This setup enables dynamic content personalization based on user behavior and preferences. Leveraging advanced platforms like Optimizely AI and specifically Optimizely Opal, we help businesses unlock the full potential of generative content for improved customer experience. 

In addition, Niteco has leveraged NitecoGPT to power SEO content and automate email marketing campaigns, helping brands connect with customers in ways that truly resonate. Discover

Best practices for adopting generative AI in CX 

We’ve delivered many successful AI implementations across industries - see our AI success stories. With that hands-on experience, we’ve identified what actually works when using AI in customer experience. Here are 5 best practices to ensure success: 

  • Choose the right platform: The foundation of every successful AI initiative is the platform it runs on. A qualified, enterprise-grade AI solution ensures scalability, reliability, and strong performance. That’s why platforms like Optimizely’s Opal AI stand out - they’re robust enough to handle complex use cases, yet flexible enough for innovations like our Sample Size Genie. By building on a strong AI backbone, businesses can confidently take their experimentation and personalization strategies further. 
  • Start with structured data: Clean, organized customer data is foundational for successful AI-driven personalization. Without high-quality data, even the most advanced Gen AI models will struggle to deliver accurate and relevant results.
  • Pilot before scaling: Launch targeted pilot projects to validate effectiveness and refine your approach before expanding across your organization. This allows you to identify potential challenges and optimize your strategy with minimal risk.
  • Ensure governance and human oversight: While Gen AI offers incredible automation capabilities, maintaining brand voice and ethical standards requires combining AI automation with human review, especially in complex service scenarios. Human oversight ensures quality control and handles nuanced situations that AI might miss.
  • Think cross-functionally: Successful AI in customer experience adoption involves IT, Marketing, and CX leaders working in alignment to deliver cohesive customer experiences. Breaking down departmental silos is crucial for seamless integration and maximum impact.
  • Stay privacy-compliant: AI solutions must be developed with full consideration of global data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA). Prioritize data security and transparency in all your Gen AI initiatives to build customer trust.
