DBS rolls out Gen AI chatbot, as Southeast Asia's largest bank incorporates AI in its workflow | Fortune
"A pilot version of the generative AI-powered chatbot, named DBS Joy, was rolled out in February. It has since managed over 120,000 unique chats, DBS claimed in a statement. The virtual assistant also cut waiting times, and customer satisfaction scores rose by 23%. The bank's virtual assistant was first rolled out in 2018, under the same name. The new AI-enhanced chatbot provides instant answers to clients' frequently asked questions, and connects them with a customer service specialist if they have more complex requests."
"The bank added that its customer care workers are equipped with a digital co-pilot to help provide more tailored support to clients. The assistant "reduced employees' effort and allows them to focus on work that involved human judgment to address client needs," said Welson Jamin, group head of operations at DBS. The AI-powered DBS Joy is the latest move by the bank-No. 7 on Fortune's Southeast Asia 500 ranking-to incorporate artificial intelligence into its workflow."
