Customer-side AI adoption

Your Company's AI Through the Customer's Eyes

Five requests from your most demanding customer — a full guide to adopting AI so that the people who pay you actually accept it.

Most companies adopt AI by choosing a model, hiring a vendor, and counting the savings — and never ask the one question that decides everything: what will the customer think? This guide flips the perspective. It is written in the voice of your most demanding customer — the collective, maximally difficult one, the person Jeff Bezos kept an empty chair for at Amazon's meetings. Chapter by chapter, that customer walks you through five requests: ask me what I need first; prove your AI benefits me (the three-number test); agree on the rules with me (the AI Service Passport, with a full sample); talk to me like a human being; and check yourselves through my eyes — evaluation systems, mystery shopping, living rules. With the EU AI Act transparency requirements arriving on 2 August 2026 and similar US state laws already in force, most of these requests will soon stop being polite suggestions. Better to meet them before your competitors do — and with a smile.

A thoughtful and important guide. The customer-centred perspective adds something that is still too often missing from conversations about business AI.
