The Anna agent now supports over 2 million text conversations and 1.5 million voice conversations per year, and integrating Azure AI Conversational Language Understanding with Copilot Studio increased intent-recognition accuracy by 7% for Dutch.","company":"ABN AMRO Bank","industry":"Financial Services","country":"Netherlands","aiCapabilities":["Conversational AI","Speech & Audio AI"],"technology":["Microsoft Copilot Studio, Azure AI Conversational Language Understanding, Azure Communication Services, Azure middleware, Azure DevOps and Power Platform Build Tools"],"deployment":"Public Cloud","problemStatement":"ABN AMRO Bank was already operating several chatbots but wanted to explore a new platform that would let it better implement AI capabilities, anticipating that customers would expect much more from a chatbot with the rapid introduction of Generative AI.","solutionApproach":"After a competitive RFP process in late 2023, ABN AMRO migrated its customer-facing 'Anna' chatbot (text and voice) and employee-facing 'Abby' chatbot to Microsoft Copilot Studio, replacing the original chatbots with AI-driven 'agents'. The bank's CISO team conducted a 3-month security review to confirm the platform met its security requirements. In the new architecture, chat interactions pass from ABN AMRO's Azure middleware and Contact Center as a Service platform, with voice calls processed in Azure Communication Services; Copilot Studio acts as the dialog manager, integrated with Azure AI Conversational Language Understanding for intent recognition and entity extraction, and Azure DevOps with Power Platform Build Tools support CI/CD.","businessValue":"The Anna agent now supports over 2 million text conversations and 1.5 million voice conversations with customers every year, and can resolve certain IVR queries without escalating to a live agent, reducing drop-off and transfer rates. Integrating Azure AI Conversational Language Understanding with Copilot Studio increased intent-recognition accuracy by 7% for Dutch. The migration itself was completed in 6 months, which ABN AMRO expects will translate into faster time to market for future agent improvements and new products.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.microsoft.com/en/customers/story/19754-abn-amro-bank-microsoft-copilot-studio","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-08-16T04:28:24.381Z","publishedAtSource":"ledger","updatedAt":"2026-08-26T08:09:15.973Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/abn-amro-bank-migrates-to-microsoft-copilot-studio-to-support-over-3-5-million-customer-conversations.
