  1. Sarah

    Hi, my delivery was supposed to arrive on Friday and it hasn’t turned up. The tracking still says “in transit.”

  2. Rosie · AI

    Hi Sarah, sorry your box is late — I know how much you’re relying on it. I can see order #48291. Let me check the tracking now.

  3. Delay confirmed · overnight replacement offered
  4. Sarah

    Can you reship? The girls are down to their last two meals.

  5. Rosie · AI

    One thing before I do — your notes show Poppy reacted to the new lamb recipe last month. I want to bring Ellie in before we reship, so she can check whether the box needs adjusting.

  6. Ellie

    Hi Sarah, Ellie here — I’ve got the full thread. I’ll swap the lamb for chicken, send it overnight at no charge, and monitor it personally. Sound OK?

  7. Replacement placed · £15 credit · follow-up handed back to Rosie
  8. 72 hours later · Rosie · AI

    Rosie Hi Sarah — did the replacement arrive, and how is Poppy?

    Sarah It arrived this morning. Poppy’s much better on chicken.

    Rosie Glad to hear it — I’ve flagged chicken for future boxes.

Rosie is our AI. Ellie is our team. One service, one standard. One conversation.

This whole conversation, including follow-up, typically costs £1.

What we deliver

People and AI, managed as one service.

Beyond a standard BPO. One workflow, one standard and one price — however the work moves between people and AI.

A client asks: "I want the AI to start handling cancellation requests from customers." Same request, two approaches.

Why clients choose us.

Responsible AI, an award-winning team, certified security and a fair commercial partnership.

Responsible AI

Vulnerability stops the automation — by default, not by configuration. Every AI decision traces back to a known source. The balance between AI and people is a setting per task, on a platform we own. No lock-in on model, data or process.

Proprietary
Award-winning team

30 years leading service, including inaugural CX leadership at Spotify and ASOS. Award-winning, globally distributed, and 95% of the team stay — so the knowledge compounds instead of walking out.

Certified cyber secure

Cyber Essentials certified. NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit. UK GDPR compliant, with your choice of data location and cloud.

Fair partnership

Clear contracts with no nasty surprises. Flexible terms, and notice periods that work both ways.

Built on the Service Handshake — a managed-service standard we authored and published (CC BY 4.0).

Most of our work comes from recommendation.

Future-proofed

Your customers, and their AI. Served by our people, and our AI.

Your customers are already sending AI to your contact centre, and most operations can't tell when it's happening. We ran the field test that proved it — a consumer AI we built passed identity checks and negotiated resolutions inside live contact centres of multi-national brands. No agent realised.

This is Dual CX. It's the reason we built Neos Wave to run all four modes on one workflow.

See the framework and research at dualcx.com →

The four modes of service

Service is operating in four modes. Most vendors sell you two.

Customer service used to be a two-body problem — a customer and a brand. It isn't anymore. This is Dual CX.

Modes 1 & 2 — Cost problem

Your biggest line, still priced in seats and minutes — and every point of margin sits here.

01

Human ↔ Human

A person calls, a person answers. The traditional model.

02

Human ↔ Brand AI

A customer talks to your AI. Voice, chat, deflection metrics.

Modes 3 & 4 — Liability problem

Where the exposure is arriving. Unpriced, unmanaged, and already inside live contact centres.

03

Customer AI ↔ Brand

The customer's own AI agent contacts you. It looks like normal traffic. It isn't.

04

Customer AI ↔ Brand AI

Two agents negotiate an outcome. Fast, cheap, and almost entirely ungoverned.

An operation that can't tell who it's talking to commits without authority, discloses to unverified parties, misses vulnerability, fails machine-speed verification, and can't defend the complaint that follows.

None of it looks like a failure at the time. It looks like normal handling — until somebody asks.

The difference

Who is ready for what's coming?

Modes 1 & 2 are where cost comes out. Modes 3 & 4 are where CX gets designed next. The market has split into two camps. Neither is built for both.

Mode
Traditional BPO
AI-first vendor
Neos Wave
01 Human ↔ Human
Designed for it — but expensive to scale.
Deprioritised. Treated as legacy.
Experienced, globally distributed team. Knowledge that compounds with the AI.
02 Human ↔ Brand AI
Bolted-on chatbot, optimised for deflection.
Strong — but generic AI, no domain depth.
AI elevated by proprietary service frameworks. Traceable sources. Built to resolve.
03 Customer AI ↔ Brand
No awareness this is happening.
No awareness this is happening.
Designed for it. Team trained, protocols in place.
04 Customer AI ↔ Brand AI
Not on the roadmap.

Defined the standard. Serving early cases.

Two roads. Neither goes where service is going. Talk to the team building the third.

AI Service Leaders

We didn't just spot the trend. We wrote the standard for it.

We published Service Handshake as a commercial and academic standard, to help companies handle AI-to-AI service. We're not adapting to this shift. We defined it.
