Robinhood breaks AI-powered customer support into three phases: Phase 1 (help center in chatbot) is what most companies do; Phase 2 (AI reading customer account data) is used by ~10% of companies; Phase 3 (AI taking write actions like refunds) requires deep backend integration and is used by very few companies, and Robinhood operates at Phase 3.
