Overview

About this session

In this short, Orvera AI Founder and CEO Ali Merchant speaks directly to contact center leaders about a life he knows firsthand. Many contact centers run 365 days a year, 24/7, and leaders carry that pressure everywhere, working late on the floor and missing date nights and children’s events.

Ali believes AI can change that. With 70% to 80% of conversations now managed by AI, he sees a dramatic improvement in leaders’ lives, starting right away. The clip is designed for contact center leaders who want to understand what AI could mean for their teams and for themselves, from someone who has run the floor.
