Kolkata, Aug 31 (UNI) ICICI Prudential Life Insurance has introduced its customer service

chatbot 'LiGo' on 'Google Assistant'.

This would enable the Company's policyholders to have their queries addressed by

simple voice commands such as "Ok Google, I want to speak to ICICI Prudential Life

LiGo" or "May I talk to ICICI Prudential Life LiGo".

Expanding its innovation quotient by leveraging digital technologies such as Artificial

Intelligence (AI) the Company has added another layer of convenience for its customers.

Extending LiGo functionalities to Google Assistant is part of the Company's strategy

to be present on platforms preferred by customers and to offer them an immersive

experience.

Customers can instantly access information on their policies by activating 'Google

Assistant' on their Android smartphones and speaking out their policy number or

registered phone number. It is as simple as asking Google for directions or traffic.

In this ever-evolving digital world where speed, efficiency and convenience are

continually being enhanced, there has been rapid adoption of AI-powered voice

assistants by individuals owing to personalized, and immediate experiences being

provided.

Available in ‘Indian English’ and with support for nine Indian languages, Google

Assistant enables people to have a conversation with Google, and get things done

in their world in a natural and personalized way.

N S Kannan, Managing Director & CEO, ICICI Prudential Life Insurance said,

" At ICICI Prudential Life, all our innovations hinge around customer-centricity.

Sometime back we embarked on our hyper-personalization journey built on the

pillars of 3 Vs – Video, Voice and Vernacular. Catering to the evolving needs of

our customers, we have enabled our customer service voice bot LiGo on 'Google

Assistant', making it accessible on all platforms and devices it is available on. "

" Accessing policy information based on voice commands provides unmatched

convenience and instant gratification. With the addition of this digital enabler, there

will be a transformation in the way customers interact with the Company. We will

continue to innovate to further empower our customers. ”

By leveraging new-age technologies the Company has introduced a bouquet of

digital enablers to address every requirement of a customer during the policy

lifecycle – from on-boarding to servicing the needs of the customers.

For instance, customers can use the Company’s digital enablers to transact online

and each of the digital enablers, i.e. WhatsApp, the Company website, mobile app

and Chatbot LiGo are almost equivalent to a virtual branch.

On Chatbot LiGo about 3.5 lakh voice chats per month are conducted. Customers

can leverage any of these digital enablers to perform an assortment of transactions.
