The AI your stack deployed is losing customers.
You shipped it. It works. Tickets are resolving. So why are customers leaving?
Gladly's 2026 Customer Expectations Report uncovered a gap that most CIOs don't see until it's too late: 88% of customers get their issues resolved through AI — but only 22% prefer that company afterward. Resolution without loyalty is just churn on a delay.
The difference isn't the model. It's the architecture. How AI is integrated into the customer journey, what it hands off and when, and whether the system is designed to build relationships or just close tickets.
Download the report to see what consumers actually expect from AI-powered service — and what the data says about the platforms getting it right.
If you're responsible for the infrastructure, you're responsible for the outcome.

🆕 Insights & News
Study: ChatGPT Citations Favor a Small Elite Group of Domains
A massive analysis of 1.2 million responses reveals that just 30 dominant domains capture 67% of all AI citations, making deep topic coverage more vital than simple keyword rankings.
Only 40% of ChatGPT Sources Match Google and Bing Rankings
Research into "fan-out" queries shows a significant disconnect between traditional search leaders and AI citations, suggesting that winning at legacy SEO doesn't guarantee visibility in the agentic era.
How AI-Generated Content Performs in Google Search

⭐ Story of The Week
Automation is Marketing’s Fastest Path to AI Returns
Jeanne Jennings | MarTech | 7 minute read
Marketing organizations are discovering that measurable AI ROI is achieved much faster through operational automation than through experimental generative content.
By embedding AI into "unseen" tasks like data normalization and lead routing, teams are reclaiming hundreds of hours of high-value human time every month.
The true competitive advantage for 2026 is shifting toward "System Orchestration," where marketers manage automated loops that execute strategies with machine precision.
- Operational automation provides immediate, quantifiable returns compared to speculative creative gains.
- Building momentum requires focusing on high-frequency, low-complexity tasks that connect fragmented data across the stack.
- Success in the agentic era relies on moving from "task-based" AI thinking to fully integrated "workflow-based" systems.

Build a B2B Marketing Plan That Actually Works (with AI Prompts)
Pam Didner | 61 minutes
B2B marketing consultant Pam Didner provides a comprehensive roadmap for resetting go-to-market strategies by focusing on strict alignment between product, sales, and marketing functions.
The session includes practical demonstrations on how to use AI prompts to automate the creation of buyer personas and high-level content frameworks while maintaining a human-led strategic vision.
Marketers are encouraged to leverage AI as a collaborative partner for identifying planning gaps rather than delegating the entire critical thinking process to automated tools.
- A successful GTM strategy hinges more on product solidity and internal team chemistry than the specific AI tools deployed in the stack.
- The most critical phase of planning is resolving internal debates over customer definitions to ensure marketing efforts target both end-users and decision-makers effectively.
- Treating the marketing plan as a living document with a structured "T-minus/T-plus" timeline helps teams manage accountability and maintain momentum during multi-month enterprise execution.
