AI in customer service sounds like a no-brainer. Until it isn't.

A recent ruling involving Google's AI tools revealed something most vendors won't tell you: even a 9% error rate sounds small until you multiply it by thousands of customer interactions. That's not a minor glitch. That's a customer service problem.

You've probably been there already. You bought the tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly disappeared while the vendor stopped returning calls.

Here's what that experience was actually telling you: the problem wasn't you. It was the wrong tool, applied without a realistic picture of how it performs under real conditions.

AI isn't failing businesses because the technology doesn't work. It's failing because no one showed you how to measure it honestly before you bought it.

Before you evaluate any AI tool for customer-facing work, ask the vendor one simple question: "What is your error rate, and what happens to my customers when it gets it wrong?" Their answer will tell you everything you need to know about whether they're a partner or just a salesperson.

That single question costs nothing and could save you tens of thousands.

What's the one AI purchase you wish you'd asked harder questions before signing?
