The Adobe Gold Partner aims to solve the “activation gap,” using real-time orchestration to move customer insights from transcripts to personalized web experiences in minutes.
As enterprises scramble to move generative artificial intelligence from experimental pilots to the balance sheet, TELUS Digital is arriving at Adobe Summit 2026 with a potential solution for the “activation gap.”
The company, an Adobe Gold Solution Partner, plans to demonstrate a new “agentic” AI workflow at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas next week. The technology is designed to solve a persistent bottleneck: the inability of large organizations to use customer insights captured in contact centers before the window of opportunity closes.
“Enterprises don’t struggle with data scarcity; they struggle with activation speed,” said Samantha Thibault, Senior Director of Digital Marketing at TELUS Digital.
The “activation gap,” as the company defines it, is the lag between a customer signal—such as a complaint or an expressed interest during a phone call—and a brand’s ability to respond with a personalized offer or solution. Currently, most of that intelligence remains “trapped” in transcripts and legacy databases.

Closing the Loop in Real Time
At the heart of the TELUS Digital demonstration is a shift from passive data processing to active orchestration. Using a combination of custom GenAI and the Adobe Experience Platform, the workflow follows a three-step cycle:
- Extraction: AI identifies intent and emotional sentiment from live contact center audio.
- Unification: That data is instantly synced into a centralized Real-Time Customer Data Platform (CDP).
- Activation: Web experiences and loyalty programs are updated automatically via Adobe Journey Optimizer while the customer is still engaged.
By moving away from “batch processing”—where data is analyzed in large chunks days after it is collected—the company claims it can compress response latency from days to mere minutes.

A Blueprint for Retention
The stakes for this technology extend beyond simple personalization. During a featured session on April 22, TELUS Digital will present a case study of its implementation within its parent company, TELUS.
The communications giant reportedly used the agentic ecosystem to automate customer retention workflows, employing “action loops” and continuous learning to predict and prevent customer churn.
For the modern Chief Marketing Officer, the value proposition is clear: in an era of declining brand loyalty, the winner is often the one who can reason and react the fastest.
