    Has someone who has outsourced their existence to a corporate automating platform yet created an &amp;#39;agent&amp;#39; that lives in your browser detecting &amp;#39;OK / Not now&amp;#39; buttons on websites that then adds a third option – &amp;#39;Actually never - do not ask again&amp;#39; – and then burns tokens forever more ensuring that that is the case?

    Listening to research that proves that if you want people to use your digital service, especially if chatbot based, make sure people can see how to get access to a person when needed. Investing in people is how you build confidence in the digital systems you want to save money through (in the longer term).
