AIInfor is developing industry-specific AI agents for industrial manufacturing, aerospace and defense, automotive, and food and beverage, built around its existing industry applications. Suresh Jayaraman, Infor's senior vice president of product management and development, says generic agents do not give deterministic answers every time and produce many hallucinations. Agents can create orders and check demand on their own, but moving one customer's order to another still requires human approval.

AIContact center experts at theCUBE's AI ROI in Contact Center Summit say customer service success should be measured by resolution rather than call speed. Cisco's Vinod Muthukrishnan calls agentic AI a framework for orchestrating relationships, not just answering questions, while Five9's Amit Mathradas says 99% of practitioners think AI has improved contact centers, versus 66% of users. Talkdesk's Pedro Andrade proposes Customer Experience Automation (CXA) as an operating model coordinating hybrid AI and human workforces.

AIMidwest Wheel Companies senior vice president Steve McEnany says the truck parts distributor ties its AI tools to a single Infor system to keep one point of reference.
