Commerzbank has boosted productivity at its advisory unit by 300% by partnering with Google on an AI system to automate documentation of suggestions made in client calls.
Sales advisors need to carefully document investment suggestions in detailed protocols. Heavily manual processes led to bottlenecks and less time for customer queries.
The bank partnered with Google Cloud's AI and machine learning capabilities to generate a multi-step AI architecture, implemented using Vertex AI tools.
Commerzbank's sophisticated gen-AI solution employs Gemini 1.5 Pro technology to create a diarised transcript of financial advisory client calls, analysing and extracting information to create summaries for documentation purposes.
Sales advisors can now focus on higher-value tasks, such as building client relationships and providing personalised financial advice.
This AI-powered automation solution has reduced processing times for the bank, and led to productivity by 3x, enhancing the client experience.
The bank is planning to expand the use of AI and automation across other areas of the business, further optimising its operations.
This project was a joint collaboration between staff from Google and Commerzbank's corporate clients unit.
By embracing AI, Commerzbank can streamline its operations, empower its employees, and enhance the client experience.
The German bank recently said it is cutting about a quarter of its workforce as it undergoes a restructure.
