Meeting Agenda

Theme: Customer Care in the Age of Agentic Consumer AI

  1. How customers find support is changing

    Discuss the shift from traditional search and company help centers toward answers inside ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, or Muse.

  2. Preparing your knowledge base for AI

    Explore how internal retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and generative engine optimization (GEO) differ—and where their requirements overlap.

  3. Making support content discoverable and useful

    Discuss answer-first formatting, structured markup, consistent product names, content freshness, and credible information that AI systems can cite.

  4. Delivering support directly through AI platforms

    Explore Claude Connectors, ChatGPT integrations, and MCP-based support, including visibility into customer inquiries and knowledge-base performance.

  5. Practitioner discussion and examples

    Share implementation experiences, challenges, and practical next steps. Include companies providing support through AI platforms if available.
