How your customers perceive this type of use
Sourced studiesLes consommateurs n'acceptent pas les chatbots par defaut : 64% prefereraient que les entreprises n'utilisent pas d'IA dans leur service client (Gartner, 2024) et pres d'un utilisateur sur cinq du service client par IA n'en retire aucun benefice (Qualtrics, 2025). L'acceptation se construit sur trois conditions mesurees par Salesforce : savoir qu'on parle a une IA, pouvoir escalader vers un humain, comprendre la logique de l'agent.

- Un chemin d'escalade clair vers un agent humain (45% plus enclins a utiliser l'agent IA, Salesforce 2024)
- Une logique de l'agent clairement expliquee (44% plus enclins, Salesforce 2024)
