These real applications of AI and automation have accelerated contact center transformations, supercharged agent productivity, and delivered more personalized experiences for millions of customers.

"At Frost, we're passionate about using technology to strengthen human connection. That's why we're partnering with LivePerson to integrate AI that empowers our team to demonstrate our culture at scale. AI allows us to take our humans and turn them into super humans," said Laura Miller, EVP of Consumer Strategy and Digital at Frost Bank, in the June 2024 case study.
