/ -- Axis Bank in partnership with Active.Ai, launched Axis Aha! in early 2018, has seen a surge in usage of its conversational AI platform on their mobile banking app which has over 10 million customers.
"We are seeing good uptake, as we keep adding new use cases to Axis Aha!. When we launched the chatbot, we were very clear that we would use it beyond just query handling. Customers are not interested in plain responses, they actually want it to be actioned. We researched and found that fund transfers, blocking cards and paying bills though seemingly easy were high-anxiety tasks for many customers and hence, useful cases to add to a chatbot. Consequently, we are now finding a measured but solid month-on-month growth in its adoption and usage," said Praveen Bhatt, EVP & Head Retail Liability and Direct Banking Products.
As Indian consumers are doing lot more on their mobile phones, the need for easy interactive human-like conversations to make their life simpler has surged. Simple FAQ chatbots are insufficient as consumers want contextual engagement with ability to assist and allow them to make qualified choices.
Axis Aha!, a virtual banking assistant, brings the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to help customers with contextual conversations, do transactions and answer their banking related queries.
Consumers can accomplish all these by simply speaking to Axis Aha! and it will do the rest:
"What's my Account balance?"
"Order a cheque book"
"I want to pay my credit card bill"
"Transfer 5000 to Mom"
"I have lost my wallet. What to do?"
"Increase my debit card limits"
"Recharge my mobile"
"Did my salary get credited?"
