The Shift AI Voice Is Creating In Customer Success
Vida just raised $4 million after its AI phone agents passed 100 million customer calls.

If you follow my AI Customer Success Implementation Guide, you know this is part of a bigger move where AI becomes core to how customers get help, not just a side tool for support.
Impact On Teams, NRR, And Customer Expectations
When AI can answer routine calls in seconds, the bar moves for everyone:
Customers start to expect instant voice help.
Teams spend less time on basic tasks and more time on value.
Leaders must rethink cost to serve and how to protect NRR.
The real question is not if AI phone agents will shape Customer Success, but how quickly CS leaders turn this shift into an advantage for their team and career.
If the part above explained the signal, the next part gives you the full playbook.
Premium members get the exact steps, scripts, and metrics to use AI phone agents inside their own CS org.
Use AI Phone Agents Without Hurting Experience
This section is your practical guide to using AI phone agents in a way that improves experience instead of breaking it.
In my piece on Traditional CS vs AI CS in 2025, I show how teams with AI specialists see faster product adoption because they redesign journeys, not just swap tools.
The same rule applies here: you win when AI is part of a clear system that respects the moments where a human still needs to lead.
