In this episode, Shezan Kazi, Head of AI Transformation and AI Products at Dialpad, examines how autonomous agents should take the first pass on high‑volume deterministic requests, when they must hand off to humans, and why confidence scoring and oversight models are essential for safe deployment. He highlights the practical steps leaders can take — from starting with low‑risk, high‑impact tasks to redesigning processes around real interaction data — to expand automation responsibly and improve customer outcomes over time.
