Pranay Jain, CEO and Founder of Enterprise Bot. <\/span><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pranay Jain, CEO and founder of Enterprise Bot, is convinced that artificial intelligence does not replace humans\u2014it makes them stronger. In this interview, he explains why the customer service of the future will combine AI employees with human colleagues, what companies can do specifically today, and why he calls himself the worst employee in the world. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pranay Jain remembers it clearly: an evening in the U.S., a canceled flight, a call to American Airlines, and then a 74-minute wait on hold. For him, this wasn\u2019t just a personal annoyance\u2014it was proof of a structural problem. \u201cAs a company, you\u2019re basically guaranteeing that the customer will leave,\u201d he says. This is exactly the problem <a href=\"https:\/\/www.enterprisebot.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enterprise Bot<\/a> aims to solve.   <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"From Start-Up to a Global AI Company: Pranay Jain: The Future of Work is Human + AI\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Z2L3b0ws8sg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Swiss AI company he co-founded in 2017 specializes in transforming customer service. Clients such as AXA, Generali, and DHL use the technology to handle customer inquiries more efficiently\u2014not by replacing people, but by specifically taking over routine tasks. According to Jain, about 30 percent of a typical call is spent on administrative steps such as identification and data entry. \u201cThat\u2019s not the moment for human connection,\u201d says Jain. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly where AI should come in, so that people can focus on other people.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What AI Shouldn&#8217;t Be Expected to Solve<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jain makes a clear distinction between two categories: what AI cannot yet solve and what it fundamentally should not solve. The former is becoming increasingly smaller, while the latter remains central.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He cites life insurance as an example: When someone has to report a death, it\u2019s an emotional moment. That\u2019s when a human voice and a human ear are needed. The same applies to complex claims, where policyholders want to feel that the insurance company is truly listening. \u201cWe often underestimate the value of genuine human connection,\u201d he says. He deliberately draws the comparison with an ATM: An ATM is perfect for transactions. But anyone looking to buy a house wants to speak with a real person in the end, despite all the digital calculators.     <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>From India to Switzerland via the United Kingdom<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The path to Zurich took a few detours. Enterprise Bot began as an idea in India, participated in an accelerator program in the United Kingdom, and was involuntarily reoriented by Brexit. \u201cThen came <a href=\"https:\/\/zuerich.ai\/hubs\/f10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F10, \u201d<\/a>says Jain, referring to a Swiss accelerator program for FinTech and InsurTech companies. What was initially uncharted territory turned out to be a stroke of luck: In its first three months in Switzerland, Enterprise Bot forged partnerships with the Swiss stock exchange SIX, Generali, PwC, and Swiss Life. \u201cSwitzerland was very welcoming. We never looked back.\u201d    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has been established in Switzerland for eight years and employs about 100 people. While its focus has traditionally been on companies with 1,000 or more employees, Enterprise Bot is increasingly expanding into smaller businesses with 50 or more employees. <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>AI Employees as the New Reality<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What sounded like science fiction just a few years ago, Jain is already implementing internally: AI agents that participate in every meeting, analyze emails and Slack messages, track commitments made to customers, and automatically create follow-up tasks. \u201cI live in a bubble where I think everyone does this,\u201d he openly admits. That\u2019s not the case\u2014even his CFO, a graduate of one of India\u2019s top business schools, still doesn\u2019t use AI.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jain\u2019s credo: AI must not be used to replace oneself. Anyone who does so is squandering its potential. The right approach is the opposite: \u201cUse AI to enhance yourself. Your thinking, your judgment, your human intuition\u2014all of that can be scaled through AI.\u201d His analogy: AI is like a highly talented assistant who carries out every task, but it is up to humans to provide the human perspective.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the upcoming launch of a new contact center platform, Enterprise Bot is implementing exactly this approach: human employees and AI employees work together as equals\u2014a concept designed from the ground up.<\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Growth requires culture, not just strategy<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enterprise Bot is growing. Spain, Italy, France, Poland, the Middle East: expansion is in full swing. But Jain warns against viewing scaling as merely a sales issue. The real risk lies elsewhere: in the culture. \u201cYou can\u2019t scale in silos,\u201d he says. As the company grows, with hybrid roles and multiple locations, there\u2019s a risk that collaborative thinking will disappear.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His solution: quarterly meetings of the entire team, clear processes instead of constant improvisation, and a philosophy he sums up in one sentence: \u201cIf you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.\u201d (If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.)<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He takes a sober view of the market environment: AI makes it easier to launch startups, but it also makes it easier for large companies to enter new markets. The window of time during which a new idea can grow unchallenged is shrinking. Where Jeff Bezos once estimated three years, today there\u2019s barely more than one and a half to two years left. Those who don\u2019t find the right niche and occupy it quickly will lose out.   <\/p>\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Strength as a Founder, Weakness as an Employee<\/strong><\/h6>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked if he would apply for a job at a large corporation, Jain answers without hesitation: No. \u201cI\u2019m the worst employee you can imagine.\u201d Not out of arrogance, but out of self-awareness: Anyone who has a strong vision and wants to implement it without regard for hierarchies doesn\u2019t fit into large organizations. \u201cThe best thing you can do is prove that you\u2019re right and build something.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked about his life motto, his answer is simple and direct: \u201cMake things happen.\u201d Many people have ideas, he says. It\u2019s the step from idea to implementation that sets some apart from others. And the courage to take action is also the only way to recognize one\u2019s own blind spots.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incidentally, if he could have one superpower for the AI era, he wouldn\u2019t choose a technological ability. Instead, he\u2019d choose the ability to truly understand people and their feelings, needs, and pain. \u201cAI will never be able to replace that.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Binci Heeb<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See and read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebrokernews.ch\/en\/technology-that-helps-save-lives-capricorn\/\">Technology That Helps Save Lives<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pranay Jain, CEO and founder of Enterprise Bot, is convinced that artificial intelligence does not replace humans\u2014it makes them stronger.
