Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

The internet scaled commerce but weakened customer service, turning people into tickets. Concierge-level care stayed limited to luxury brands because it's expensive. AI changes that by making always-on attention cheap and scalable. Companies can now offer high-touch service to everyone. Customer service shifts from a cost center to a driver of loyalty and revenue.
