An AI humanoid could have potentially delivered a state-of-the-art product pitch, customized to the user and set up the test drive, an interaction that could be in the consumer language or consider a scenario where an insurance or mutual fund brand needs to service existing customers, pitch new customers the potential of a host of products, drive a personalized product narrative, across child plans, NPS, term and other products, and drive that information handoff to a human. At the very least it’s a massive saving in call center hours, training, hiring etc.
