Hands-On AI: Turn Gainsight & Staircase AI into a CS Workflow Engine - Workshop at Pulse Europe 2026

Hi everyone,

At Pulse Europe 2026 I'll be running a hands-on workshop called: Hands-On AI: Turn Gainsight & Staircase AI into a CS Workflow Engine

Over the past year I've been building out an MCP-connected AI practice at Xceptor - connecting Gainsight CS and Staircase AI as live data sources inside Claude, and turning what started as personal experiments into reusable workflows the whole CS team can run. Think Executive Business Review preparation that used to take half a day, done in minutes with live data from both platforms.

In this workshop I'll show you how that works in practice, and more importantly you'll build it yourself.

My goal is that you leave with something tangible:

  • An understanding of MCP - what it is and why it's the missing link between your CS platforms and genuinely useful AI.
  • A live demo - a single Claude prompt pulling health scores, CTAs and account context straight from Gainsight in real time.
  • A Skill you've designed yourself - using a worksheet and pre-built template to map your highest-value CS workflow to an AI Skill you can run on Monday morning.
  • A pre-built Skill template to take away - ready to import and adapt for your team.

Bring your laptop if you can as there's a stretch goal for anyone who arrives with Gainsight MCP already connected to Claude!

Hope to see you there. 😁

I hope you have high attendance to your workshop. It sounds very practical and one that anyone in a customer-facing role can benefit from, even if they don’t run EBRs.
