Smarter SaaS Support Driven by AI Agents

Introduction: Generic Is No Longer Good Enough

‍

The first generation of AI support tools promised everything and delivered averages. In 2026, the winners are the companies that moved beyond general-purpose chatbots and deployed specialized AI agents — models fine-tuned on their specific product data, customer language, and resolution workflows. The performance gap is striking.
