Executive Summary

A mid-sized U.S. insurance firm specializing in auto, health, and life insurance faced rising customer inquiries, leading to overwhelmed support teams and delayed response times. To address these challenges, we developed and implemented a conversational AI-powered chatbot using Azure AI and integrated it with the firm’s systems via Databricks and Azure Data Factory.

About the Client

The client is a U.S.-based insurance firm that serves individuals and small businesses. Their offerings include customized auto, health, and life insurance plans. As the firm scaled its operations, handling customer queries efficiently while maintaining high satisfaction levels became a priority.

Project Overview

The firm experienced a surge in customer inquiries about policy details, claim statuses, and premium payments. Manual handling of repetitive questions overwhelmed the support team, leading to delays and inefficiencies. A conversational AI chatbot was needed to address these issues, provide instant support, and reduce the load on human agents.

Key Challenges

High Support Volumes

  • Increasing customer inquiries led to long wait times and dissatisfied clients.

Repetitive Queries

  • A large portion of inquiries involved simple, repetitive questions that could be automated.

Limited Operating Hours

  • Customers sought support beyond traditional business hours, leaving many queries unresolved.

Integration Issues

  • Data about claims, policies, and customers was scattered across multiple systems, complicating real-time responses.

Plan of Action

To resolve these challenges, we developed a conversational AI chatbot leveraging Azure AI for natural language understanding and intent recognition, supported by a robust data integration backbone built with Databricks and Azure Data Factory.
