Designing conversational AI that sounds like your brand

Where Voice AI deployments break down - and how to overcome it

Many organizations have deployed Voice AI but are struggling with performance, adoption, and ROI. The challenge is rarely the technology; it’s the operational system surrounding it. In this session, boost.ai [http://boost.ai] and Metric Sherpa examine why Voice AI underperforms when layered onto fragmented routing, unclear ownership, and weak feedback loops. We will discuss why traditional IVR and early voice models are failing and how modern architectures require tighter alignment between design and execution. Key discussion points: * How prioritizing quick wins creates friction for both customers and frontline staff. * Moving beyond automation to redefine roles and establish governance that connects CX, product and operations. * How to build a scalable system where automation and human agents work together through continuous feedback and operational discipline. Speakers: * Justin Robbins, Founder & Principal Analyst, Metric Sherpa * Samuel Danby, Solutions Engineer – Voice Lead, boost.ai [http://boost.ai] * Host: Kristian Anders Wilhelmsen, Employee Enablement Manager, boost.ai [http://boost.ai]

Voice AI: What everyone gets wrong, and how to get it right

In this episode, Samantha Rosendorff (VP of Global Pre-Sales, boost.ai [http://boost.ai]) joins Kane Simms (CEO, VUX World) to dismantle the most common misconceptions about Voice AI. They provide a blueprint for how to design, deploy, and scale Voice AI that actually works, moving beyond the hype to deliver enterprise-grade efficiency. Key Takeaways: * The Voice Value Gap: Why most organizations miss the mark with voice automation and the specific ways it impacts your bottom-line efficiency. * Dismantling Misconceptions: Debunking the biggest myths about Voice AI implementation that lead to costly deployment failures. * Designing for Dialect & Intent: How to build voice experiences that handle the complexity of natural speech without forcing customers back to human agents. * Scaling the Right Way: The technical and strategic requirements for moving from a voice pilot to a secure, global-scale deployment.

What "good" looks like for AI Agents in customer service

Accuracy is only the beginning. To build truly effective AI Agents, organizations must establish a clear standard for what quality looks like in practice and how to maintain it as they scale. In this episode, boost.ai's Simeon Kristofferson (Customer Education Manager) and Shiv Chibber (Customer Engagement Manager) sit down to provide a practical mental model for assessing AI agent behavior. They move beyond basic metrics to help you identify issues early and prioritize the improvements that result in reliable, high-performing automation. Key Takeaways: * Defining Quality: Why AI agent quality is notoriously difficult to pin down and what it actually means in a real-world service environment. * Practical Assessment: A grounded approach to evaluating your agent’s performance to ensure it meets operational standards. * Issue Prioritization: How to recognize performance gaps early and decide which optimizations will have the greatest impact on your results. * Building for Reliability: Whether you are tuning an existing agent or launching your first, learn how to strengthen your evaluation process and move forward with confidence.

Designing conversational AI that sounds like your brand

In this episode, Shiv Chibber (Customer Engagement Manager, boost.ai) sits down with Kane Simms (Founder & CEO, VUX World) to discuss the strategic importance of Designing Conversational AI That Sounds Like Your Brand. They move past surface-level "personality" to explore how technical guardrails and consistent identity drive customer trust and ROI. Key Takeaways: * The Identity Crisis: Why generic LLM outputs dilute brand equity and how to implement architectural guardrails to prevent "personality drift." * Trust as a Metric: The direct correlation between brand-consistent CX and self-service adoption. If your bot doesn't sound like you, your customers won't trust it with their data. * Operationalizing Voice: Moving from static scripts to dynamic, brand-aligned generation. How to maintain a consistent "voice" across millions of unique, unscripted interactions. * The Governance Shift: Why brand voice is now a risk mitigation tool, ensuring that AI agents reflect corporate values while operating within highly regulated environments.
