This is one of the few levers businesses can use against the labor shortage, because at its core, the shortage is a supply-and-demand problem.

With managed automation, a partner builds the workflows around your FSM and keeps them working as your business changes. Your team still approves anything critical before the AI systems execute it."},{question:"Does this replace our office staff?",answer:"No. The goal is to take busywork like status updates and follow-up reminders off their plate so they have more time for customers.
