Case Study: Vietnamese Bank Chooses Instadesk for Voice Automation

A Vietnamese commercial bank evaluated both platforms. Viettel AI required a 12month contract with upfront payment and custom training for banking terms (e.g., “số dư tài khoản”, “chuyển khoản”). Instadesk offered payasyougo and pretrained banking NLU. The bank deployed Instadesk in 3 weeks at 40% lower total cost for the first year. The bank also appreciated the ability to scale up during peak seasons without renegotiating contracts.
