Transform CX with AI at the Core of Every Interaction: The Future of Customer Engagement

By 2025, nearly 95% of all customer interactions will involve artificial intelligence (AI) in some form. This marks a profound shift in how businesses design and deliver customer experience (CX). The era of generic, one-size-fits-all interactions is ending as organisations embrace AI to create personalised, data-driven, and emotionally intelligent experiences.

In this article, we explore how AI is transforming CX through automation, personalisation, and omnichannel engagement—and how Maxicus is helping global brands lead this transformation.

1. The AI Revolution in Customer Experience

AI has become the operational foundation of modern CX. According to Servion, 95% of all customer interactions will be AI-powered by 2025, encompassing tools such as chatbots, virtual assistants, and predictive analytics.

This evolution represents more than automation—it signifies a commitment to smarter, faster, and more personalised interactions that scale efficiently. Research shows that 90% of CX leaders report positive ROI from AI initiatives, while 79% of customer service agents say AI helps them deliver better service (Zendesk, 2025).

Rather than replacing human employees, AI augments their capabilities. By automating repetitive tasks, businesses can enable teams to focus on complex, high-value interactions.

According to McKinsey, companies using AI-driven personalisation can achieve up to a 15% increase in revenue. Netflix’s recommendation engine alone generates over $1 billion annually, while Starbucks leverages predictive personalisation to deliver tailored offers—demonstrating the measurable business impact of AI in CX.

2. How Generative AI is Redefining CX

Generative AI represents the next evolution of customer experience. It is projected to manage up to 70% of customer interactions without human input by 2025, while improving satisfaction rates by 30% (NiCE, 2025).

Unlike traditional AI, generative AI is context-aware, adaptive, and capable of understanding human intent and emotion. It enables real-time, dynamic experiences—such as marketing messages that adjust to individual preferences or conversational bots that interpret sentiment.

At Maxicus, we integrate generative AI to deliver seamless omnichannel support through chat, voice, and video commerce. This ensures every customer receives a consistent and personalised experience, regardless of the communication platform.

3. The Rise of Omnichannel Engagement and Phygital Touchpoints

Modern consumers expect seamless engagement across multiple touchpoints. According to Gartner, 80% of companies are now using AI to enhance customer service, while 74% are increasing CX investments to meet growing expectations (Gartner, 2025; Capterra, 2025).

Maxicus leads in omnichannel transformation by combining AI-driven chatbots, intelligent virtual assistants, and automated workflows. This cohesive approach allows customers to move effortlessly between channels while maintaining context and continuity.

The concept of phygital experiences—a blend of physical and digital interactions—is gaining momentum. Video commerce, for example, enables real-time human interaction online, offering brands a powerful tool to increase engagement and conversion. Maxicus empowers businesses to implement these innovations effectively, improving customer satisfaction and overall experience.

4. The Human Touch in an AI-Driven World

While AI has redefined operational efficiency, the human element remains essential to building trust and emotional connection. Research from Zendesk indicates that 64% of consumers are more likely to trust AI-powered service when it demonstrates empathy and human-like characteristics.

Maxicus takes a hybrid approach where AI complements human expertise. Our intelligent AI “copilot” tools assist agents with real-time insights, enabling them to resolve queries more effectively and empathetically. This balance ensures that while automation handles routine tasks, human agents address complex or emotionally sensitive issues.

Industry leaders predict that 80% of customer interactions will soon be automated, yet they continue to emphasise the importance of preserving empathy in service delivery. Maxicus aligns with this philosophy—using automation to enhance human performance, not replace it.

5. Maxicus: Leading the CX Transformation

6. The Future of Customer Engagement

The future of CX lies in hyper-personalisation, predictive engagement, and emotion-aware AI systems. As AI technologies evolve, businesses will gain access to advanced tools capable of understanding tone, emotion, and intent in real time.

Emerging trends include:

Emotion recognition for deeper understanding of customer sentiment
Predictive analytics for proactive customer service
Integration of AI and human collaboration for consistent, authentic experiences

Maxicus continues to pioneer these innovations, empowering brands to deliver meaningful, personalised engagement that drives loyalty and long-term growth.
