We’re talking AI agents that can help customers do things like schedule appointments. What has vcita learned from rolling out this functionality?

Key Takeaways

• AI has the potential to transform SMB marketing because it could alleviate one of their biggest pain points: scarcity of time.
• Helping resource-constrained SMBs to automate certain functions through AI agents is one way that can be done.
• vcita is doing just that with Agentic AI integrations in its SMB marketing software platform.
• However, the company knows that AI still has some trust issues, so it’s built flexibility into its agentic AI integrations.
• This includes letting SMBs decide their sweet spot of automation and manual oversight.
• For example, appointment scheduling can be done through AI agents, with the requirement that a human approve appointment requests before they are finalized.
• The goal is for SMBs to get acclimated in this way and develop comfort levels before they opt for greater levels of automation.
• This eased-in approach is well-tuned for the realities of SMB personas, and provides optionality for a range of tech-adaptiveness.
