For example, you can ask questions in the flow of work, just like you speak with a co-worker. Unlike chatbots and copilots, agents\u2019 ability to plan and reason enables them to take action on the data, making recommendations and even doing things like build digital storefronts, draft custom code, and create data visualisations. And when needed, the agent can seamlessly hand off to human employees with a summary of the interaction, an overview of the customer\u2019s details, and recommendations for what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"segmentation\">2.&nbsp;Increase engagement and conversions with agent-driven audience segmentation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/blog\/moment-makers-customer-data-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noopener\">analysing the customer data<\/a>, your AI agent can then segment audiences based on demographics, behaviour, preferences, purchase history, and other important attributes.
