The CX Gap Is Real — AI Can Help Close It
78% of companies think they’ve improved CX. Only 31% of customers agree. This report shows what to do about it.
Your CX dashboards say things are working. Your customers disagree.
A global MIT Technology Review survey of 1,000+ CX leaders reveals a big disconnect — and a big opportunity. While most companies say they’ve improved service, customers aren’t feeling it. The fix? Smarter, human-centered AI.

This NiCE-sponsored report explores how brands like Shell and Lufthansa are closing that gap — using AI to route smarter, surface knowledge faster and actually make agents’ lives easier. It’s not about replacing people. It’s about supporting them with the tools to deliver what customers actually want.
If your team’s stuck with disconnected systems and reactive service, this is your reset.
