ABN AMRO Bank migrates its Anna and Abby chatbots to Microsoft Copilot Studio, increasing Dutch intent-recognition accuracy by 7%

ABN AMRO Bank

ABN AMRO Bank, one of the largest banks in the Netherlands, migrated its customer chatbot Anna and internal employee chatbot Abby to Microsoft Copilot Studio in a six-month project delivered with Microsoft and Capgemini. The new agents use Azure AI Language conversational language understanding (CLU) for intent recognition and entity extraction, with Azure Communication Services handling voice and Azure middleware relaying messages. The Anna agent now handles more than 2 million text conversations and 1.5 million voice conversations with customers every year, covering tasks like unblocking a debit card or changing an ATM withdrawal limit, while Abby supports employees with IT helpdesk and facilities requests. By integrating Azure AI Language CLU with Copilot Studio, ABN AMRO increased its intent-recognition accuracy rate for Dutch by 7%, reduced drop-off and transfer rates, and significantly cut operational and maintenance costs.
