Episode highlights

We pit Medallia's Athena engine, with its open-API model-import capability and edge-AI deployments at POS/kiosk devices, against Qualtrics' newly integrated Clarabridge-powered generative survey design and AI-driven governance stack. You'll hear concrete examples: a Medallia pilot that shaved 12 % off average handle time by analyzing unstructured video/audio, and a Qualtrics scenario-based ROI model that translates survey insights into predictive financial outcomes while staying compliant with the EU AI Act. The discussion drills down to the cultural shift required-Medallia's "action squads" versus Qualtrics' governance-first teams-so you can gauge the organizational impact of each approach.
