Difficulties and limits
- NOVACARD, a credit card issuer in Mexico, faced growing digital volumes, rising service costs, and increasing pressure on customer experience.
- Building AI in-house was considered but ultimately rejected due to complexity, cost, and time to market.
- NOVACARD deliberately optimized at 60–70% — recognizing that over-automation degrades customer experience
