The shift

How AI is changing the Scaled CSM role

In 2026, AI is taking over much of the manual work behind one-to-many customer programs. Scaled CSMs now use it to draft tiered email campaigns, summarize usage data across hundreds of accounts, and flag which customers need a personal touch versus an automated nudge. The role is shifting from sending the same playbook to everyone toward designing smart segments and intervening only where it matters.
