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.
