Andrei brings a refreshing dose of grounded perspective as the buzz around ‘agentic AI’ and generative everything reaches fever pitch. Instead of chasing trends or slapping AI onto every process, NLX is laser-focused on practical outcomes: real problems, solved efficiently, and with the right tech. We explore the challenges enterprise leaders face when navigating a market bloated with hype: internal pressures to ‘do AI,’ tech stacks that aren’t ready, and misunderstandings about what LLMs can and can’t do. Andrei shares where generative AI genuinely shines and where it is still too risky, especially for heavily regulated industries. This episode is brought to you by NLX. NLX is a conversational AI platform enabling brands to build and manage chat, voice and multimodal applications. NLX’s patented Voice+ technology synchronizes voice with digital channels, making it possible to automate complex use cases typically handled by a human agent. When a customer calls, the voice AI guides them to resolve their inquiry through self-service using the brand’s digital asset, resulting in automation and CSAT scores well above industry average.

Autodesk is leveraging AI to analyse calls, generate follow-up emails and improve CRM data. AI is being used to make sales teams more efficient and effective. Chafik explains how AI is automating low-value tasks so sales reps can focus on what really matters: building relationships and closing deals. From extracting insights from conversations to drafting personalised emails and proposals, Autodesk’s approach is about enhancing and not replacing human expertise. But AI adoption isn’t always easy. We discuss the challenges of implementing AI in sales teams, including agent adoption, structured processes and data quality.
