Customer Experience Automation (CXA) is the interdisciplinary intersection of artificial intelligence, process automation, and conversational interfaces blended to optimize customer experience. CXA is designed to facilitate completing every task, no matter how minute, with the least cognitive load possible. Each interaction, task, or inquiry to an enterprise is a micro-engagement™️ and together the micro-engagements form a wave of customer experience.
Learn MoreThe focus of CXA is to use key technological capabilities to hold conversations with customers directly and help usher them to a final resolution in their self-service journey while letting them speak in their own words and automating the back-office processes that historically forced them to wait for a final confirmation. AI lets customers converse naturally, automation completes the resultant procedural steps, and customer experience opens the door to customers to let them speak in the channels and to the pain points they care about.
Removing procedural barriers that prevent expedient resolution
Using historical data to understand and predict future behaviors
Two-way conversations where action matches intent
Use Intelligent Automation, Customer Experience, and AI to build automations for each and every micro-engagement™. Each micro-engagement may be an atomic unit on its own, but all of them together form a wave of customer experience.
Learn how the embodiment of Customer Experience Automation (CXA) principles enables consumers and businesses to build more meaningful, satisfactory and less transitory relationships.

Artificial intelligence + intelligent automation together can help any enterprise scale.
The customers may change by industry but many of the pain points remain the same--high volume and manual processes break customer experiences.

However, enterprise silos, IT choke points, and rip and replace projects have made good customer experience difficult to achieve, in addition to driving up operational costs. When modernizing with an outside-in approach, enterprises can streamline operational efficiency while delivering a better experience to their customers in tandem.
Yes! CXA is usually viewed as an additive set of capabilities rather than an automation suite you have to rip and replace to find room for. Cloud-native capabilities and API-centric design are useful for integrating easily into existing technology investments.
No and yes. The customer in customer experience automation isn’t just consumers, but also could be internal stakeholders and business partners you need to build automation capabilities for in order to ease the stress of doing business. If your stakeholders are patients, build automation experiences that are patient-centric. If your customers are doctors, customer experience automation helps automate provider-centric experiences. Your customers are your business. Digital agility and expedited digital transformation is ours.
Customers, internal and external alike, have built up expectations of how easy your business should be to work with. They choose to keep working with you if it’s painless, and they reconsider whether to if it’s friction-filled. Automation alleviates customer experience pains by speeding up labor-driven processes and by bridging the gap between internal silos that hamper customer experience query resolution times.
