As customers get flooded with AI-generated content and ads, there is an underutilized tool that can help your business rise to the top.

Join Natalie Ruiz, CEO of AnswerConnect, for an insightful discussion on why the human voice remains one of the most powerful ways to build trust, loyalty, and meaningful customer relationships. Drawing on AnswerConnect’s “Team Human” philosophy, Natalie will explore how businesses can embrace AI as a tool to enhance customer service, without losing the empathy, intuition, and authenticity that only people can provide.

This live virtual event will cover:

- What being “Team Human” can mean for your business
- How AI can enhance customer service without replacing human connection
- What the data reveals about evolving customer expectations
- Real-world examples of situations where human interaction succeeds where AI falls short

Attendees will walk away with practical insights on balancing AI-driven innovation with authentic human engagement to build stronger customer relationships, brand loyalty and ultimately increased sales.

When calling a business, 82% of people have asked to speak to a real person instead of AI. And of those people, 68% say they’ve asked multiple times.

That’s not a great customer experience. When someone calls your business, they deserve to speak to a real person who cares.

While technology continues to evolve, one thing hasn't changed: people still value speaking to people.

Every day, we see the impact that a real conversation can have on trust, customer loyalty, and business growth. That's why we've always believed technology should support people, not replace them.

The future of customer service isn't people or AI. It's using technology to help people deliver even better experiences. That's a future we're proud to be building.

Long before AnswerConnect existed, our founder was inspired by his high school biology teacher and Sequoia National Park ranger, Vaughn Folkman.

Vaughn's passion for protecting the giant sequoias left a lasting impression and helped shape our founder's belief that business can - and should - be a force for good.

Decades later, that inspiration lives on through our partnership with Sequoia Parks Conservancy.
