Geoffrey Moore wrote about the dreaded “chasm” in his hi-tech marketing bible, Crossing the Chasm, where technologies go to die if they don’t gain traction among mainstream buyers.

Gartner talks about the “trough of disillusionment” in their hype cycle—for example, the AI hype in customer engagement and everywhere—where many technologies perish or take years to get out of, if at all. Sorry, no such thing for AI in the contact center this time around.
