Nobody's going home earlier.
But the work is finally worth doing.
Slack's CMO, Ryan Gavin, watched his engineering team build an entire product category in two days using AI agents. They worked 60-70 hour weeks, but their energy was off the charts.
The soul-crushing "work of work" is shrinking. What's left is the stuff that actually matters.

BPO was a revolution, outsource the drudgery, cut costs, scale fast.
But it created a system where call center agents don't know the company they're answering for.
Now AI is resolving 80-90% of issues autonomously.
So do we still need the big call centers? Or does it all come back in-house - a small, skilled team handling only what AI can't?
Nobody wakes up excited to have a service experience. Something is broken. AI might finally fix it.

#Zendesk analyzed a billion customer service tickets.
The finding: 70% is low-value work AI can handle. 30% is high-value work that needs a human.
Right now? Humans are doing all of it. And the 30% suffers.

So why are we only 5% through adoption?
Shashi Upadhyay, head of product, engineering, and AI at #Zendesk has a clear answer: the pace of technology is far exceeding the pace of adoption.
And adoption is gated by how companies run processes, how purchasing cycles work, how implementation happens.
Those are like laws of physics. They don't improve by a factor of 10.
Five percent. A really long way to go.
