Twilio Study Finds AI Amnesia Driving Consumer Frustration in Asia-Pacific
What happened
A new study published by Twilio found that poor AI memory is causing consumer frustration and brand abandonment among Asia-Pacific users. The research highlights that consumers increasingly encounter what the company terms “AI amnesia,” where AI agents lack context regarding the customer or previous interactions. The study found that 70 percent of Asia-Pacific consumers have stopped using an AI agent mid-interaction due to this poor service. Furthermore, 5 percent of consumers ended their relationship with a brand as a result.

Why it matters
The findings reveal a disconnect between business perception and consumer experience regarding AI adoption. While 84 percent of Asia-Pacific brands believe their AI agents recognize returning customers, 70 percent of consumers report having to restart conversations from scratch. This issue persists when customers are transferred to a human agent, where 65 percent report having to repeat information.
Both Palantir and SoundHound are facing market headwinds despite the overall growth in AI, while Twilio is successfully leveraging market trends.
