# Get AI conversations right

Thanks for visiting CDI at the Engage Customer Summit.  
  
Every conversation your AI has with a customer either builds trust or burns it. We call it Conversational Capital.

Read our whitepaper, see our offer for you at the Engage Customer Summit, and start the conversation about getting AI conversations right.

## Our offer to you at the Engage Customer Summit

### Is it built right?

Our [Light Assessment](/conversational-ai-for-business/assessment) reviews your assistant against the CDI Standards and tells you what's wrong, in priority order, with a roadmap to put it right.

### Is it building trust?

Our Conversational Capital Baseline Assessment reads a sample of your real conversations and returns one score for whether they're building the trust your brand depends on, or quietly spending it, with the three to five fixes worth doing first.

### Leadership readout

We run both together, and [Hans van Dam](/%5Fauthors/hans-van-dam), CDI's CEO, reads out the results to your leadership team in person.

### Ten places

Ten places for organisations that commit at the summit. Half your fee is credited against a [comprehensive assessment ](/conversational-ai-for-business/assessment)or a [consulting](/conversational-ai-for-business/consulting) engagement signed within 90 days.

# Whitepaper: Conversational Capital: the asset you're already managing but not yet measuring

![](https://a.storyblok.com/f/323168/2218x2866/cb886672d3/cdi-whitepaper.png)

  
Our whitepaper on the trust your AI is building, or spending, with every customer conversation, and how to put a number on it. It covers:

- why the numbers on your dashboard can look healthy while trust drains underneath them
- the six laws of Conversational Capital
- who in your organisation should own this as an asset
- what to fix first
- how one score, your Conversational Capital Rating, tells you whether your AI is building trust or burning it.

“Stop thinking of conversations as costs to be managed. Start thinking of them as moments where an asset is built or destroyed.”

Hans van Dam

Conversation Design Institute 

CEO

## Your dashboards look healthy. Trust can drain underneath them.

Three numbers that can hide the problem. Each measures how efficiently a conversation was handled but none of them measures what it did to the customer's trust. That gap is what Conversational Capital measures. 

01

![](https://a.storyblok.com/f/323168/96x57/b917a989a1/mini-chart-01.svg) 

### Containment is rising

So are calls about the same topics. The AI logs a success; the customer gives up and finds another way in. Your dashboard counts the first and never sees the second.

02

### CSAT is stable

Complaints are not. The customers who gave up halfway never fill in the survey, so the score is drawn from the people who already got what they wanted.

03

### Handling time is down

Speed tells you what the call cost. It doesn't tell you what the conversation left behind: a customer who trusts you a little more, or a little less.

## Learn more about Conversational Capital

Every conversation your AI has is a deposit or a withdrawal from the trust your customers hold in you. Conversational Capital is how you measure that trust, and grow it. Want to know what it means for your AI? Get in touch and we'll walk you through it.

### The idea

Customers don't experience your AI as technology; they experience it as your brand talking. Every helpful conversation builds trust, and every failure spends it. That accumulating trust is Conversational Capital.

### Measure it

A Conversational Capital Assessment reads your real conversations and returns your Conversational Capital Rating: a score of whether your AI is building trust or burning it, and where.

### Grow it

Trust compounds when conversations are right. The framework shows which conversations to fix first, so every quarter your AI earns more trust than it spends.
