AI Maturity for CX

Make AI work in CX with maturity, governance, and action

AI in customer experience doesn’t fail because of a lack of insight. It fails when organizations cannot turn insight into timely, accountable action.

Liveops helps organizations move from AI experimentation to measurable CX outcomes with a clear maturity model, governance structure, and operating approach built for real-world execution.

The four pillars of CX AI progression 

AI success in CX is not about jumping to automation as fast as possible. Its about progressing through the right stages in the right order, so that trust, governance, and measurable outcomes grow together.  

 

Reality over hype

Cut through the AI noise to focus on real CX problems that are worth solving. 

Know your maturity

Understand where you are today to avoid premature or misaligned investments. 

Act with precision

Apply AI where it can change decisions and deliver measurable impact. 

Sustain at scale

Build trust, governance, and measurement so AI stays valuable over time. 

AI maturity model: crawl, walk, run, fly 

The difference between crawl, walk, run, and fly is not just the AI model. It’s who is allowed to act, how quickly action happens, and how consistently outcomes are measured. 

Maturity is not a label. It’s an operating model decision. Each stage expands AI’s role from observation to optimization. 

Crawl: observer

AI observes and explains: At this stage, AI is used to surface patterns, summarize interactions, and highlight opportunities. Human teams retain full decision authority while AI earns credibility and boundaries. 

What this looks like: 

– Insights are visible but not yet operationalized 

– Teams use AI to understand trends and identify friction 

– AI provides insights, not actions 

– Confidence and credibility are still being established 

Primary goal: Build trust and understanding, not speed 

Watchout: Do not automate customer-facing or front-line-impacting decisions too early. 

Walk: advisor

AI recommends actions: AI begins to support decision-making in workflow with recommendations and rationale. Humans still approve, edit, or reject actions, and accountability remains central. 

What this looks like: 

– Pre-approved, low-risk actions are introduced 

– AI supports decision-making, but humans remain accountable 

– Teams begin defining repeatable response patterns 

– Exceptions are still handled through human review 

Primary goal: Build consistency and reduce delay 

Watchout: Do not introduce automation without clear ownership, oversight, and rollback paths. 

Run: actor

AI executes defined actions: AI can carry out pre-approved actions in clearly defined scenarios, with human oversight for exceptions and edge cases. Outcomes are measured, and actions begin to adjust based on results. 

What this looks like: 

– Ownership and accountability are clearly assigned 

– AI executes predefined actions at operational speed 

– Outcomes are measured and actions adjust based on results 

– CX operations become more proactive and less reactive 

– Humans shift from primary decision-makers to strategic overseers 

Primary goal: Increase operational speed with control 

Watchout: Do not automate edge cases or ambiguous scenarios. 

Fly: optimizer

AI adapts and optimizes continuously: AI is trusted to act independently within well-defined lanes, while governance, monitoring, and auditability protect consistency and compliance. Execution becomes faster, more repeatable, and more resilient at scale. 

What this looks like: 

– AI is trusted to act independently in defined scenarios 

– Execution is repeatable, predictable, and auditable 

– Drift and bias are continuously monitored 

– AI contributes to performance optimization at scale 

– The organization is optimized for consistency and control 

Primary goal: Sustain value while protecting trust 

Watchout: Do not mistake adaptability for lack of governance.
