Zendesk CEO Tom Eggemeier is transforming his company into one where AI agents increasingly handle the work. Unsurprisingly, he’s been exploring how agents such as Muse can benefit his personal life, too.

He told Business Insider he had an early win with Muse, which wrangled better deals for both his phone plan and internet, saving him around $2,000 a year. Eggemeier said he reckons the agent could save him even more money in time with a bit more work.
