How much could AI save your support team?

Peak season is here. Most retail and ecommerce teams face the same problem: volume spikes, but headcount doesn't.

Instead of hiring temporary staff or burning out your team, there’s a smarter move. Let AI handle the predictable stuff, like answering FAQs, routing tickets, and processing returns, so your people focus on what they do best: building loyalty.

Gladly’s ROI calculator shows exactly what this looks like for your business: how many tickets AI could resolve, how much that costs, and what that means for your bottom line. Real numbers. Your data.

YOUR DOSE OF CRYPTO WISDOM AND ENTERTAINMENT

Hey Hodler,

In the latest episode of HODL FM, Tanya Petrusenko spoke with Sunil Sharma, Co-Founder of CoinGape, about the evolution of crypto audiences and media coverage since the ICO boom of 2017.

Key insights from the discussion include:

  • How crypto audiences matured from retail speculation to institutional decision-making

  • Why large-cap coins like Bitcoin now see less speculation while low-cap altcoins attract more attention

  • Where crypto users are located globally and how regional trends influence adoption

Sharma also shared a caution for retail investors:


"Crypto will be staying there, crypto is not going anywhere, but maybe the coins that you hold right now will not survive this. Please don’t trust what Wall Street is saying."
