Conversation designer · AI & CX advisor · Keynote speaker · Author. Twenty years designing AI conversations for the world’s most demanding organisations.
Most AI projects start with technology. I start with the customer.
I help organisations design AI‑powered customer journeys that are useful, human and built to scale.
If you or your customers have ever had an AI conversation with a bank, insurer, airline, telco or government agency, there’s a good chance I’ve had a hand in it. I help organisations figure out where they really stand, what needs fixing, and what good should look like, through advisory, strategy, design and AI health checks.
Twenty years designing AI conversations for the world’s most recognised brands across banking, insurance, airlines, telco, retail, and government. If you’ve had an AI conversation with a major organisation, there’s a good chance it’s one I’ve worked on.

Twenty years at the seam of AI and CX.
Ben Farrell works at the seam between AI and customer experience, where strategy meets implementation, and where the gap between what organisations think their AI does and what it actually does tends to live.
