The AI paradox in B2B: how to customize without looking artificial

The AI paradox in B2B: how to customize without looking artificial

Generative Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing communication in the B2B universe, bringing more efficiency and scalability to companies. However, a crucial challenge arises in this scenario: how to balance automation and authenticity to ensure humanized and genuine interactions? One study found anthropomorphic chatbots reduced customer satisfaction, company valuation, and purchase intentions when customers were already experiencing some kind of irritation.

For Fernanda Nascimento Stratlab CEO and B2B marketing and sales expert, this reaction may have occurred, in part, because consumers expected more than a human-like chatbot and were disappointed when it did not live up to the expectation. “The secret to success in using generative AI is in preventing technology from becoming an obstacle to real connection. People are tired of automated and generic interactions. At the end of the day, what really makes a difference is the authenticity of communication. If AI is only used to produce volume without a real purpose, it can drive customers away rather than bring them closer together, he points out.

On the other hand, when used well, generative AI extends the reach of the message without compromising the human essence, helping to structure conversations, organize data and suggest content, but delivery needs to have an authentic touch. “However, we observed that most companies still miss this opportunity. In different departments, different systems store customer information, offering fragmented data, which often does little help understand the complete customer journey.The result? Conversations without customization, understanding and empathy, which undermine the relationship and, consequently, the leverage of new businesses”, comments Fernanda.

Fernanda also states that many companies believe that personalizing means just calling the customer by name. However, true personalization goes beyond: it involves understanding the moment and the challenges of the customer to offer relevant interactions. Faking proximity, giving generic answers or exaggerating in automation are traps that can compromise the user experience. To prevent automation from making interactions cold and impersonal, Fernanda points out that it is essential to adopt some good practices:

  • Talking like real people: automated language needs to be natural and close to human communication;
  • Real customization: more than mentioning the name of the customer, it is essential to understand their context, their needs and their entire journey. When identifying behavior patterns and interpreting data in depth, it is possible to generate valuable insights (EVEN to anticipate demands and avoid unpleasant surprises in the future;
  • Leave room for human interaction: bots can start conversations, but it is critical that there is a fluid transition to a human attendant when needed;
  • Guarantee authenticity: if AI cannot respond truthfully and in line with the brand tone, it is best that the interaction be done by one person.

According to the expert, in the last decade, automation, data analysis and machine learning solutions have helped B2B companies become more efficient. Now, with generative AI automating most procedural or routine tasks, it is the right time for companies to focus on building trust-based relationships with customers. “Even with technological evolution, the role of human professionals remains essential. The future is not about AI versus humans, but about how humans can use AI to be even more authentic, relevant and connected with their audience. In the end, no one wants to speak to a soulless robot. Focus on this point can allow companies to create more value and create more competitive markets.

E-commerce fraud challenges retailers and drives smart automation

E-commerce fraud challenges retailers and drives smart automation

The rapid advance of e-commerce in Brazil has also given way to worrying growth: the increase in digital fraud. According to a survey by Equifax BoaVista, the e-commerce scam attempts increased by 3.5% in 2024, compared to the year 2023.

Whether involving cloned cards or bot fraud and undue chargebacks via Pix, the losses accumulated by retailers as a result of these practices already add up to millionaire figures.In addition to the financial impact, such actions also compromise consumer confidence and the credibility of the platforms.

Among the most common scams are identity theft, the misappropriation of user accounts (known as account takeover), chargeback fraud and the use of fake coupons.The complexity and sophistication of attacks have required companies to provide more robust solutions to ensure the security of their operations and preserve the customer journey.

However, intelligent automation integrated into the Open ecosystem has gained prominence as a strategic protection tool.According to experts, combining technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analysis, these systems can monitor transactions in real time, identify suspicious patterns and act preventively in the face of anomalous behaviors.

“Antelligent automation allows you to detect risks with greater accuracy and reduce false positives that often bar legitimate purchases and affect the” consumer experience, explains Ligia Lopes, CEO of Teros, data-driven intelligent automation platform, which complements: “In addition, we optimize operational resources by taking repetitive tasks out of the hands of teams, redirecting the focus to strategic” decisions.

For example, fraud using bots is increasingly common in limited product launches. By automating the purchase process, these software can acquire large volumes of items before real customers have access to them, creating a parallel and unfair market.By Pix scams often involve manipulating vouchers or false claims of error to obtain a refund after receiving the product.

Another benefit of automation is integration with anti-fraud systems based on biometrics and digital behavior. These solutions increase the level of verification of transactions, helping to block sophisticated attacks such as phishing or account intrusions, which would not be easily detected by traditional” methods, says Ligia.

In the Open Finance environment, integrated automation has also brought significant gains in terms of agility and customization, according to Lopes. The possibility of integrating banking data with management systems allows you to perform real-time reconciliations, automate financial reports and offer services such as credit or insurance during checkout.

“Although there is no single solution to the problem of fraud, the combination of technology and strategy is the most promising way. The digitization of consumption requires a proactive posture of companies and automation is no longer an option, but a necessity for those who want to remain competitive, safe and relevant in the” market, concludes the CEO of Teros.

Global low-code market expected to reach US$ 264.40 billion by 2032, driven by AI and automation

O mercado global de plataforma de desenvolvimento low-code deve chegar a US$ 264,40 bilhões até 2032, com uma taxa de crescimento anual composta (CAGR) de 32,0% ao longo do período projetado – isso é o que revela o relatório do Fortune Business Insights. Em 2024, esse setor foi avaliado em USD 28,75 bilhões. Esses números apontam uma alta demanda por plataformas democráticas de desenvolvimento a partir da entrega rápida com mínima codificação manual, ou seja, a criação e o gerenciamento de aplicações por usuários com pouca expertise em TI. 

Com o uso de grandes modelos de linguagem (LLMs), como Gemini e ChatGPT, e os avanços da inteligência artificial, surge a possibilidade de explorar oportunidades para remodelar significativamente um negócio com funcionalidades inovadoras através de aplicações corporativas desenvolvidas de forma descomplicada, acelerada e segura. Entre as principais vantagens da criação de aplicações nas empresas estão: interfaces visuais e intuitivas, custos reduzidos, otimização de tarefas, maior produtividade, flexibilidade, desenvolvimento multiplataforma, escalabilidade, segurança aprimorada e análises aprofundadas com base nos dados gerados. 

“A combinação do low-code com inteligência artificial está redefinindo a forma como as empresas desenvolvem e escalam suas aplicações. Hoje, não se trata apenas de acelerar o desenvolvimento, mas de permitir que equipes de negócio criem soluções robustas sem depender exclusivamente de especialistas em TI. Esse novo cenário possibilita maior flexibilidade, segurança e eficiência operacional, reduzindo custos e tempo de entrega. As empresas que souberem explorar essa sinergia estarão à frente na transformação digital, explica Lucas Felisberto, VP LatAm de Vendas & CS da empresa global de software, Jitterbit. 

Uma pesquisa feita pelo Gartner revelou que, neste ano, mais de 65% dos aplicativos serão desenvolvidos utilizando plataformas low-code. Assim, a adoção de IA e a automação tecnológica implica expressivamente nos resultados gerados, na eficiência operacional e na agilidade dos processos. A Jitterbit, por exemplo, vem atuando na indústria com o desenvolvimento de soluções robustas de maneira simplificada e ágil através de suas soluções, como o  App Builder, permitindo a redução de custos, aumento da produtividade e fortalecimento da segurança operacional. Marcas como Cal-Maine Foods, Zeppelin Systems, iHeartMedia e Etiya, já apostam nesse tipo de desenvolvimento simplificado e ao mesmo tempo robusto. 

“Estamos entrando em uma era onde inovação e acessibilidade tecnológica caminham juntas. O low-code democratiza o desenvolvimento de software, enquanto a IA potencializa suas capacidades. Isso significa que organizações de todos os portes podem otimizar seus processos, experimentar novas funcionalidades rapidamente e escalar suas operações de maneira inteligente, isso tudo ainda desafogando os times de TI, porém sem com que eles percam o gerenciamento disto. A velocidade e a flexibilidade dessas plataformas são diferenciais estratégicos para quem busca competitividade no mercado atual”, conclui Lucas.

From the counter to the cloud: how digital transformation is redesigning pharmaceutical retail in Brazil

A transformação digital tem reconfigurado, em escala global, os alicerces operacionais e estratégicos do setor farmacêutico. No Brasil, esse movimento acompanha a tendência mundial, mas carrega especificidades que exigem adaptações profundas. A digitalização da cadeia farmacêutica nacional demanda não apenas tecnologia aplicada, mas também um redesenho de processos, políticas públicas e modelos de negócio historicamente consolidados.

O avanço da digitalização, com a adoção de plataformas tecnológicas nas operações de farmácias, distribuição e logística, representa mais do que um salto de eficiência: é uma transição estrutural em direção a um sistema de saúde mais integrado, responsivo e territorialmente inclusivo. Porém, o processo requer coordenação entre diferentes elos da cadeia, desde a indústria até o ponto de venda, incluindo fornecedores de tecnologia, startups, redes independentes e o próprio Estado como regulador e indutor de inovação.

Second report by Research and Markets (2021), a expectativa é que o mercado farmacêutico global atinja US$ 957,59 bilhões até 2028, quase o dobro do registrado em 2020, com uma taxa composta de crescimento anual (CAGR) de 11,34%. Esse dado revela um setor em franca expansão, movido por fatores como envelhecimento populacional, aumento da prevalência de doenças crônicas e maior acesso da população a serviços de saúde.

A emergência das healthtechs no ecossistema de inovação também tem sido um vetor relevante dessa transformação. De acordo com dados da plataforma Distrito, o Brasil registrou US$ 27,3 milhões em investimentos em startups do setor apenas em 2020, indicando que há apetite de mercado e capital para iniciativas tecnológicas voltadas à saúde. No entanto, essa inovação ainda precisa romper barreiras culturais e operacionais que fragmentam o setor.

Entre os principais gargalos da digitalização farmacêutica estão a gestão de estoques, o planejamento da demanda e a capacidade de gerar dados acionáveis em tempo real. Muitos desses desafios decorrem de um modelo de operação historicamente analógico, descentralizado e com baixa integração de sistemas. Digitalizar esse ambiente não é apenas conectar farmácias a um aplicativo ou e-commerce, mas construir uma infraestrutura técnica e regulatória que suporte fluxos de informação contínuos, interoperáveis e auditáveis.

Nesse cenário, ecossistemas digitais farmacêuticos começam a se consolidar como alternativas viáveis para estruturar uma cadeia mais coesa. Um exemplo relevante é o Farmácias Digitais (ecossistema do GrupoSC), que conecta mais de 4.000 farmácias em uma rede que não apenas realiza transações, mas opera com base em inteligência de dados. A integração entre controle de estoque, sistemas de compliance regulatório e logística “last mile” permite reduzir rupturas de abastecimento, ampliar a previsibilidade de demanda e garantir rastreabilidade — elemento essencial para a segurança sanitária e o combate a fraudes.

Um dos grandes diferenciais desses ecossistemas está na capacidade de conectar farmácias, muitas vezes isoladas do ponto de vista tecnológico e logístico, ao ambiente digital do setor. Esse movimento contribui para democratizar o acesso a soluções de saúde, mitigar desigualdades regionais e fortalecer o papel das farmácias como unidades essenciais na atenção primária. A tecnologia, nesse contexto, torna-se um mecanismo de inclusão produtiva, reorganizando fluxos logísticos e redistribuindo inteligência operacional ao longo da cadeia.

A integração entre agentes do setor — como distribuidores, indústrias farmacêuticas, healthtechs, universidades e órgãos reguladores — será decisiva para a consolidação de um modelo de saúde digital que contemple a complexidade do território brasileiro.

Mais do que uma tendência, a transformação digital no setor farmacêutico representa uma necessidade estratégica para garantir competitividade, ampliar o acesso a medicamentos e consolidar um modelo de atenção à saúde que seja contemporâneo às exigências da sociedade conectada.

TikTok Shop: Brands and Sellers Must Adapt to the New Era – and Quickly!

Social Commerce is a growing trend that is revolutionizing the way products and services are sold online. New business strand originated in China and strongly accelerated by the pandemic, it now has in its “hide of hurricane” revolution brought by TikTok Shop, a platform that has shown great potential in several countries to boost sales through deep, native integration between content and online shopping, and that finally arrives in Brazil this April.

TikTok Shop takes advantage of the immediate behavior of the new generation of digital consumers who seek instant gratification. According to research in different markets, such as American, British and Asian, TikTok users are highly likely to buy directly within the application due to the combination of entertainment, social interaction and ease of purchase in the same place, in an absolutely frictionless journey and that allows you to realize the desire for consumption without the need to leave the platform.

One of the great differentials of this new business model brought by TikTok Shop is the short video format characteristic of the platform and integrated with the virtual store that, in addition to quickly capturing attention, also drives impulse buying. The platform allows creators and brands to directly integrate links to products displayed in the videos, quickly transforming interest into real conversion.

As I recently shared in interviews with some specialized television news, the TikTok Shop recorded a significant increase in sales conversions when compared to other traditional forms of e-commerce, which can reach 10x more results. This is especially the emotional connection that users develop with influencers and organically generated content, which increases trust and credibility in the products promoted without counting the speed to purchase in the app, leveraging the desire to buy on impulse.

Another important factor for the success of the TikTok Shop is the user experience, highly optimized for mobile. In a scenario where every second counts to grab consumer attention, the fluidity of navigation and the simplicity of integrated checkout are crucial to reduce the abandonment rate of carts.

TikTok beyond a video platform

TikTok has long transcended its origin as a platform for short videos and dances. Today, it is a phenomenon that redefines the intersection between entertainment and commerce, driven by the economy of attention 60 billion A scenario in which time spent on social networks directly converts into business opportunities.In markets such as the United States and Indonesia, TikTok Shopmovimento US$ 33 billion in 2024, a figure that illustrates the power of this new frontier of social commerce. In Brazil, where users spend more than 30 hours monthly on the application, its arrival promises to shake up the e-commerce market, which promises to shake up the market it can generate almost R$ 39 billion in the national territory until 2028 (according to a study released by Santander bank).

The rise of TikTok Shop is intrinsically linked to the change in consumer behavior.We live in the era where attention is the most valuable asset, and platforms that manage to capture it 'like TikTok, with its precisely tuned algorithm 'Get to become natural vectors of sales. 

E-commerce represents 13% of global retail, and social commerce, driven by influencers and immersive content, is the next wave IS ENHANCED by the effective application of artificial intelligence in hyperpersonalization. Thus, when the user watches a live of a creator testing a beauty product, the purchase can be completed in seconds, without leaving the application. This eliminates friction and enhances impulse sales, which are the heart of retail.

The platform operates in countries such as the USA, UK, China, Mexico and Indonesia, where integrated features such as shopping icons on videos, product showcases and live broadcasts (simplify the consumer journey. In Indonesia, for example, 9 of the 10 largest TikTok Shop stores in 2024 were beauty and personal care, a segment that also dominated the highest-grossing lives in the US. The TikTok strategy includes aggressive incentives to attract sellers, such as 90-day periods without commissions and free shipping, tactics that may be replicated in Brazil to accelerate adoption.

Open Finance: how will financial institutions win consumer trust?

Open Finance: how will financial institutions win consumer trust?

In an increasingly digital world, Open Finance, an ecosystem for sharing data between banks created by the Central Bank, continues to bring new opportunities for use that facilitate the consumer's routine. According to the Brazilian Federation of Banks (Febraban), the number of active subscriptions jumped from 43 million in January 2024 to 62 million in January 2025, a growth of 44% in just one year. The system also records more than 2.3 billion successful communications per week, consolidating it as one of the main tools for transforming the financial sector of the country.

Although the scenario is positive in several aspects, the country faces significant resistance in the accession of this new system. According to Datafolha research, 55% of Brazilians have never heard of Open Finance and other 19% say they are “mal informed” and “knownothing about”. 

And the reasons for this hesitation may be anchored in the perception of value. Pix, for example, which is a recent innovation of the financial system, has presented tangible benefits to consumers, enabling instant and free transfers, which allowed its massive and successful adoption.Open Finance, in turn, has not yet been able to exploit its real advantages and appears to be less tangible for the general public. 

Many consumers, for example, still do not understand that the sharing of data between institutions can generate direct advantages, such as better credit rates, personalized offers and centralized financial management. Without understanding the benefits, customers do not adhere, feel insecure and this scenario results in lack of adherence, which ultimately limits the impact of the system.

In addition, trust and security in data is another critical point. Although Open Finance is regulated and operated under strict security and compliance standards with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), most Brazilians remain skeptical about privacy and the ethical use of their information. 

This fear is intensified by a history of digital fraud, which puts financial institutions on constant alert about the need to strengthen protection and communication measures. Therefore, it is essential that institutions demonstrate how Open Finance is safe and this involves strategies that combine education, technology and customer experience. The conduct of educational campaigns, for example, brings practical examples of how the system can improve people's financial lives.

Investing in intuitive user journeys makes clear the value of membership, while enhancing transparency and customer control over their data.In terms of technology, the use of secure APIs (from the Portuguese language, 'IS, application programming interface’), multifactor authentication and advanced encryption are essential practices.

Another important point is to develop solutions based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to offer personalized financial recommendations, reinforcing the relevance of the system to the user's daily life, including alerts for debt renegotiation, suggestions for more advantageous investments or even credit proposals with differentiated conditions.

Partnerships between digital banks, fintechs and technology companies also play a key role in this process.Together, these players can promote solutions that meet the specific needs of consumers, combining robust security with clear incentives such as cashback, rewards and access to unique financial products.

The success of Open Finance in Brazil depends, above all, on the ability of companies to become relevant to the consumer. Just as Pix demonstrated the power of utility for its simplicity, this system needs to show, in practice, how it can transform the relationship of the Brazilian with money, creating a more inclusive, transparent and innovative financial ecosystem.

Georgia Rivellino, Director of Marketing, Products and Solutions at Simpress

Book tip: “The Courage to Be Imperfect: How to Embrace Vulnerability, Overcome Shame, and Dare to Be Yourself,” by Brené Brown

"The Courage to Be Imperfect" represented a turning point in my career. I always considered showing vulnerability to be negative, especially as a woman, associating it with the idea of fragility or lack of control. Brené Brown shows just the opposite: that vulnerability is an essential strength for personal growth and building genuine relationships. The book explores how, by accepting our flaws and limitations, we free ourselves from shame, allowing us to live a more authentic life.

Mauricio Trezub, CEO of OmniChat

Book tip: “Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works,” by A.G. Lafley and Roger L. Martin

"Playing to Win" offers a clear and straightforward approach to creating effective strategies. The authors transform complex concepts into actionable insights, presenting a structured process for strategic decision-making. I appreciate that the Procter & Gamble examples demonstrate how these strategies can be successfully implemented, regardless of business size or industry.

Book tip: “7 Powers: the foundations of Business Strategy”, by Hamilton Helmer

"7 Powers" presents seven sources of strategic power that can guarantee lasting competitive advantage. The book offers a new perspective on how to build solid strategies, going beyond traditional approaches. The clarity of concepts and the emphasis on creating sustainable competitive advantage are essential for entrepreneurs seeking long-term success.

Ale Garcia, co-founder and co-CEO of Sólides

Book tip: “Outsiders: Eight Unconventional CEOs and their Radically Rational Plans for Success,” by William N. Thorndike

The book debunks the myth of the charismatic CEO and shows, with data and real stories, how some of the most successful leaders in American corporate history built extraordinary value not with inspiring speeches, but with disciplined financial decisions, independent thinking, and a focus on rational capital allocation. The work reveals a discreet, efficient, and deeply strategic leadership model, offering an alternative path to the traditional management approach. The combination of this strategy with great energy, combined with a transformational and inspiring objective, is incredibly powerful.

Pedro Ripper, co-founder and CEO of Bemobi

Inclusion and speed: the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution The growth of e-commerce in Brazil has been remarkable in recent years, driven by a combination of factors such as increased internet penetration, the rise of mobile technology, and a growing middle class with greater purchasing power. However, one of the most exciting developments in this sector is the burgeoning trade relationship between Brazil and Asia, particularly China. **Inclusion: Bridging the Gap** One of the key aspects of this revolution is the inclusion of a broader segment of the Brazilian population in the digital economy. Previously, many Brazilians, especially those in rural or underserved urban areas, faced significant barriers to accessing e-commerce platforms. These barriers included limited internet connectivity, lack of digital literacy, and insufficient payment infrastructure. Efforts to overcome these challenges have been multifaceted. Government initiatives, such as the National Plan for Broadband (PNBL), have aimed to expand internet access across the country. Additionally, partnerships between tech companies and local governments have facilitated the deployment of digital literacy programs, empowering individuals to navigate and utilize e-commerce platforms effectively. The collaboration between Brazilian and Asian e-commerce giants has also played a crucial role. Companies like Alibaba and JD.com have invested in Brazilian startups and local e-commerce platforms, providing them with the necessary technology and expertise to enhance their services. This collaboration has not only improved the user experience for Brazilian consumers but has also created opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to reach a global audience. **Speed: Accelerating Growth** The second pillar of this revolution is speed. The demand for faster delivery times has driven innovation in logistics and supply chain management. Brazilian e-commerce platforms have adopted advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to optimize delivery routes, reduce transit times, and enhance inventory management. Moreover, the partnership between Brazilian and Asian companies has led to the establishment of direct shipping routes, reducing the time it takes for products to travel from Asia to Brazil. This has been particularly beneficial for consumers, who now enjoy quicker access to a wide range of products, from electronics to fashion items. The integration of payment systems has also contributed to the speed of transactions. The adoption of digital wallets and mobile payment solutions has streamlined the purchasing process, making it more convenient and secure for consumers. Additionally, the use of blockchain technology for transaction verification has further enhanced the efficiency and transparency of e-commerce operations. **The Future of Brazil-Asia E-commerce** Looking ahead, the future of Brazil-Asia e-commerce appears promising. The continued growth of the digital economy in both regions presents numerous opportunities for collaboration and innovation. As more Brazilian consumers gain access to e-commerce platforms and as Asian companies continue to invest in the Brazilian market, the trade relationship between the two regions is likely to strengthen. Furthermore, the ongoing development of 5G technology is expected to revolutionize the e-commerce landscape even further. With faster internet speeds and lower latency, consumers will experience even greater convenience and speed in their online shopping experiences. This will not only enhance customer satisfaction but will also open up new possibilities for businesses to explore innovative marketing strategies and customer engagement techniques. In conclusion, the inclusion and speed driving the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution are transforming the way businesses operate and consumers shop. By bridging the digital divide and accelerating growth, this revolution is paving the way for a more inclusive and dynamic global economy.
