What AMA Is

AMA is Cast’s enterprise Ask Me Anything layer for everything post-sales.

Customers do not do business with isolated internal departments like Support, Success, Services, Voice of Customer, or Account Management. They do business with your company.

AMA is built for that standard.

Instead of limiting answers to static FAQs and knowledge bases, AMA is designed to answer across the full business context behind modern B2B customer relationships—so conversations can keep moving with the context people actually need.

See what changed in the latest release in AMA 2.0: The 68% Problem in B2B Customer Conversations.

What AMA Can Answer Across

AMA is designed to operate across the systems and context layers enterprise teams actually use and products you sell.

  • Knowledge bases + FAQs
  • Products you use (CRM, CS/CX, ticketing, analytics, cloud/data systems, and more)
  • Products you sell (usage, telemetry, activity, and product signals)
  • Enterprise memory for internal stakeholder and leadership use cases (governed)
  • Your vector DB or Cast Vector DB (depending on architecture and governance needs)
  • Brand voice and narrative style
AMA connects across the full post-sales business context—products you use, products you sell, knowledge bases, brand voice, and governed enterprise memory.

This gives AMA broad coverage across customer-facing use cases, partner use cases, internal stakeholder workflows, and partner-branded indirect customer experiences.

In other words, AMA is not just a support chatbot. It is an enterprise post-sales interaction layer.

AMA 2.0 expands this foundation with stronger orchestration, voice + visuals, and built/bought agent interoperability. Read what’s new in AMA 2.0.

Momentum Is the Metric

In B2B customer conversations, momentum matters.

One of the biggest hidden costs in post-sales workflows is the delay between a question and a useful answer. AMA is designed to reduce that delay by continuing the conversation across the full business context—not just a static FAQ.

68%
CSMs say “let me get back to you” this often in B2B conversations
11.8x
Customers ask more questions when the agent keeps answering
5.4x
Executives use voice more than chat
4.5x
Individual contributors type more than they use voice

These findings are grounded in Cast’s deeper analysis of more than 800 Zoom, Gong, and Chorus recordings (2.21M minutes) of customer-facing team conversations. In that analysis, Cast reports that CSMs responded at least once with “let me get back to you” in 68% of meetings, which slowed decisions and reduced momentum.

Built for How Different Users Actually Work

Different users prefer different interfaces. Some want to type. Some want to speak. Some need visual context while they ask follow-up questions.

AMA supports an intermix of interfaces so the same system can serve executives, operators, and customer-facing teams without fragmenting the experience.

  • Chat for fast, precise back-and-forth questions
  • Voice for natural executive interaction
  • Visuals for context-rich explanations and live walk-throughs

AMA 2.0 adds stronger voice + visuals experiences in the latest rollout.

The Agentic Future: Bought + Built Agents Working Together

The agentic future is not build-or-buy. It is a strategic combination of bought and built AI agents—as long as they can talk to each other.

Most enterprise teams will operate a mixed environment:

  • internally built agents for proprietary workflows
  • vendor-provided agents for domain-specific tasks
  • specialized agents across lifecycle, feedback, analytics, and operations

AMA is built for that reality.

The Lifecycle Agent behind AMA, embedded with the Presentation Agent acts as an orchestrator—connecting your internal built agents with bought agents and Cast agents (including the Cast Feedback Agent) so your team can focus its build cycles on what is most proprietary.

The goal is not to force a single-agent architecture. The goal is to make the ecosystem work together.

Built for Enterprise Performance, Governance, and Precision

AMA runs on Cast’s AI infrastructure to support enterprise-grade performance, reliability, and precision in tool-calling—especially in environments where answers require coordination across multiple systems, not just retrieval from a single source.

With stronger grounding in enterprise data and system-level context, AMA is designed to improve answer quality while supporting governance requirements and complex operating models.

Context Injection + Governed Agentic RAG

AMA is designed to combine:

  • the speed of model-only (no retrieval) experiences
  • the flexibility of governed, agentic RAG

This helps reduce hallucinations while preserving the responsiveness users expect in live conversations.

Who AMA Is For

AMA is built for enterprise B2B organizations operating in complex post-sales environments.

  • Support teams
  • Customer Success teams
  • Services and onboarding teams
  • Voice of Customer / feedback teams
  • Account management and expansion teams
  • Internal stakeholders and leadership
  • Partner ecosystems and indirect customer motions
If your organization serves customers across multiple systems, teams, and channels, AMA is built for that operating model.

What’s New in AMA 2.0

AMA continues to evolve. AMA 2.0 adds stronger orchestration, enhanced voice + visuals, improved tool-calling precision, and deeper support for built-and-bought agent interoperability—while expanding through a phased rollout.

With the Cast AMA Agent, you can embed a secure, intelligent Q&A interface directly into your product or share it via email. It connects to every tool your team uses—CRM, Usage Data, Support Docs, and Success Plans—to answer complex questions instantly.

  • "When is my renewal?"
  • "How do I benchmark against my peers?"
  • "What are the top 3 things my team should focus on?"

From "Generic Chatbot" to "Strategic Account Expert"

In a live Business Review, customers interrupt. They don't sit back and ask generic questions. They ask deep, specific ones:

  • "How does my usage compare to last year?"
  • "What happens to my rate if I add five seats?"
  • "Can I get a discount if I renew early?"

Standard knowledge-base chatbots hit a wall here. You likely already use chatbots for support or marketing. They are excellent at recycling FAQs and sharing links, but they don't know who they are talking to. When faced with a specific question about a contract or usage trend, they are forced to say, "I don't know," and make the customer wait for a human.

The Cast AMA Agent is different. It connects your static Knowledge Base with live customer data. Because it is intimately familiar with every account—understanding their specific contract, usage history, and goals—it doesn't just recite policies. It calculates value, explains trends, and provides strategic advice instantly.

It isn't just a support bot. It acts as an always-on Customer Success Manager, Account Manager, Onboarding Specialist, and Renewal Expert—giving your customers access to your entire team through a single interface.

So what can you ask? Anything.

Watch the AMA Agent Handle Real Interruptions

Don't just take our word for it. Watch the Cast Agent deliver a data-driven presentation and then handle a live interruption. Notice how it seamlessly switches from "Presenter Mode" (Full Audio) to "Q&A Mode" (Interactive) the moment the customer has a question—giving them control of the conversation.

Here are some sample questions Digital CSMs can answer.

(Note: The video includes audio for the presentation portion. It automatically pauses during the AMA session to let you read the Q&A interactions.)

  • What are the top three things my team should focus on?
  • How do I benchmark compared to others in my segment?
  • How many unused licenses do I have?
  • How many agents should I upgrade to based on my historical usage?
  • When is my renewal?
  • Can I self-renew?
  • How does AMA work?
  • How many support tickets are pending?

Intelligent Handoffs: Seamless Human Integration

Automation handles the scale. Humans handle the strategy. Even the best AI Agent knows when to call for backup. If a customer asks a question that requires deep strategic consulting or human empathy, the Cast AMA Agent doesn't just say "I don't know."

It intelligently routes the customer to the right human, offering configurable escalation paths relevant to your business rules:

  • For Strategic Deep Dives: "Would you like to schedule 30 minutes with your CSM via Calendly?"
  • For Quick Approvals: "I will draft an email to your Account Manager for you."
  • For Urgent Issues: "Here is the direct line for your Renewal Specialist."
