With businesses rapidly embracing generative AI, the applications of the technology are widening in scope and impact. In an article on Dynamic Business, several industry leaders—including Sandie Overtveld, senior VP for APJ and MEA at Freshworks—weighed in on the use cases of generative AI in the workspace.

He added that tapping into gen AI tools such as Freshworks’ Freddy AI can enable customer experience professionals to get to the heart of a customer issue effectively and drive greater satisfaction through personalization.
