When Generali deployed an AI chatbot and voicebot named "Leo," the results were immediate and measurable.
 
The system now handles more than 60% of chat requests and 90% of phone inquiries, saving capacity equivalent to up to 12.8 full-time employees.
 
Leo assists with client verification, document uploads, payments, and policy changes—reducing call transfers and enhancing customer self-service.
 
In Vietnam, the AI voice-bot automatically checks the completeness of insurance consultation content, detects anomalies and risks of voice interference, and has already verified over 98% of contracts automatically.
 
Future Generali India also launched Leo on WhatsApp, offering personalized support throughout the policy cycle including document access, policy renewal, claim status updates, and locating services.

The virtual assistants saved capacity equivalent to 12.8 full-time employees.
 
Those 12.8 FTEs weren't theoretical—they were real headcount that didn't need to be hired.
