Aftersales AI has moved past the demo stage. Every vendor now sounds convincing on a call - the difference between the programs that hold up and the ones dropped within three months isn't voice quality anymore, it's whether the AI is actually built on real data.

This guide documents that gap, and the six steps and six questions that predict which programs close it.
