The Future of Low-Touch B2B SaaS: Will AI Replace Customer Success?
As we approach 2025, a question keeps surfacing:
What's the future of low-touch, high-volume customer segments in B2B SaaS?
With specialized LLMs and AI tools becoming more sophisticated by the day, and companies pushing harder for profitability, it's a topic you cannot ignore.
So here's my take:
High-touch CS roles focusing on enterprise customers are likely here to stay (human relationships are irreplaceable at this level).
But the landscape for low-touch segments is heading for a significant transformation.
Why?
These segments are primarily driven by data and signals, making them prime candidates for AI automation.
We've already seen organizations attempting to automate these processes through marketing and product-led growth initiatives.
Many early attempts failed. But the latest AI advancements might finally make this feasible.
Think about it: B2C companies made this transition years ago.
Remember the last time you needed help with your Netflix subscription or Spotify account?
Chances are you never spoke to a human.
However, this doesn't mean CS professionals in the low-touch space should start updating their resumes.
Instead, we're likely moving toward hybrid models where AI handles routine interactions while humans focus on strategic touchpoints and complex problem-solving.
The key will be finding the sweet spot between automation and human intervention.
