AI Customer Service Playbook (HK, 2026): 10 Automations That Save Time & Close More Deals
Why AI customer service matters in HK (2026)
Hong Kong customers expect fast replies on WhatsApp, IG, Facebook, and web chat. If you reply in 1–5 minutes, you win more quotes. If you reply in 1–2 hours, you lose them.
