Old World
In the old world, our Customer, a Life Insurance Provider conducted its customer interactions via:
- Branch and Head Offices – 1400 Branch Offices
- Call Center – 950 Personnel
- A Matured Web Portal and Mobile App
- Field Agents – 6500 Personnel (Independent and Captive)
The Insurance Company’s forward-looking leadership team chose to invest in IT and bring Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the game to outsmart the competition. In conjunction with Streebo & IBM, they employed a Smart Chatbot for Life Insurance. Prior to the launch IBM & Streebo team trained the chatbot on various back-end systems at the insurance company including Genelco & IBM’s AS/400 and showed it how to fetch information from various siloed systems in a secured, yet scalable fashion. Powered by IBM Watson Assistant, the leading Natural Language Processing (NLP) engine (as per Gartner and Forrestor report of 2022), Streebo’s Smart Chatbot was Trained until 99% Accurate, meaning it would answer at least 99 out of 100 questions correctly.
The Streebo Smart Chatbot for Life Insurance was added to the workforce after a few rounds of evaluation. The Chatbot was trained in various life insurance functions such as
- Generating a quote
- Paying the Premium
- Settlements
- Purchasing Policy
- Claims
- Many More
In a single stroke, the Life Insurance Provider had expanded its outreach to new social media channels and put in a smart and highly intelligent employee in place to manage the first line of interaction. The blog below captures the customer journey in the new world after the chatbot was put in place.
Customer Experience in the New World
Given the past Covid experience, John, and his wife have been thinking of buying a Life Insurance policy for a while now. On one of the weekends, John was browsing through Facebook; and he comes across an advertisement by a Life Insurance Company about the launch of a new Life Insurance Policy. He clicks on the ad and that in turn brings him to the Website of the company and wants to learn more about the specific product.
The Initial Interaction and Awareness through WebApp
On the website, the Life Insurance Company has deployed an AI Powered Chatbot. The Chatbot greets John, then John put his requirement about a life insurance policy and the bot replied with the available policy plans. While interacting, John makes some spelling mistakes, but the smart bot understands the rephrased question – further, it even ignores the spelling mistake done – all this happened because of a smart NLP engine under the covers.
John asks for details on one of the policies and the bot in turn fetches more details about the policy from the legacy system. John clicks on the View Brochure option, he reads the policy details and requests the bot to get a quote for the selected policy. Bot asks for a few required details and John shares the same. John in the middle of the conversation plans to check out the branch location in his city to see if he can schedule an in-person visit. The bot gets a high level quote for John and he is now ready to discuss details with his trusted confidants.
