I recently had the pleasure of joining Ekaterina Stoyanova on the Вам помочь podcast to discuss a critical AI distinction: the difference between a simple bot and a true co-pilot.
You can listen to our full discussion on this topic below.
Many companies rush to deploy basic chatbots that become frustrating barriers between customers and real solutions. This approach assumes AI's job is to replace human interaction.
I argued for a different philosophy. AI's real value isn't replacement, it's augmentation. The goal is to build systems that make your human experts even better at their jobs. We call this the co-pilot model.
An AI co-pilot handles the predictable, boring work. Think order status lookups and repetitive policy questions. It integrates with your backend systems to handle these instantly.
This frees your experienced agents from cognitive load. They can focus entirely on complex, high-empathy work that builds customer loyalty and solves problems no bot ever could.
The best technology doesn't replace your best people. It gives them leverage. It removes noise so they can focus on the signal.
