Leading analysts including McKinsey have emphasized the need for business-technology co-ownership of solutions delivery and value creation, to maximize the impact of AI in ways that count for customers.  Intelligence and automation help modernize a whole range of customer service operations by automating routine tasks, allowing human agents to focus on complex problem-solving and empathetic interactions, with enhanced compliance and efficiency for better value and UX delight. In this context, the integration of Generative AI in customer experiences including call transcription, sentiment analysis and similar applications can enable a more empathetic and responsive service model, where efficiency, personalization, and customer satisfaction are paramount.  We present  an AI software engineering best practice focused on integrating new AI capabilities into enterprise wide customer service platforms to deliver incremental value along a multi-year journey of AI adoption. It is based on several technical, product and business criteria essential to optimize the full AI capability stack, to drive greater enterprise value by pacing how and when AI is built and integrated into servicing platforms.
