Users define a target customer segment and engage the resulting avatar in a chat-like exchange to learn about consumption habits and preferences, with every AI-generated response made explainable. Artefact deployed the entire solution, from back end to front end, in just one month with a small team, and the bank is now pursuing a second generative AI project that would let the AI directly generate emails.","company":"Artefact","industry":"Financial Services","country":"France","aiCapabilities":["Generative AI","Conversational AI"],"technology":["IBM watsonx.ai","IBM watsonx","IBM ILOG CPLEX"],"deployment":"Unknown","problemStatement":"A major French bank wanted to expand its service offering by harnessing customer data more effectively, but sharing entirely anonymized raw data with professionals had limited value for understanding consumer habits.","solutionApproach":"Artefact used IBM watsonx.ai to build a solution where users define a target customer segment and engage an AI-modeled persona avatar in a chat-like exchange to learn about consumption habits, with every AI-generated response made explainable and anonymized client data used for development.","businessValue":"Artefact deployed the entire solution, from back end to front end, in just one month with a small team; each cluster represents 2 to 3 million real customers, and the use case's success has generated interest and a second generative AI project featuring AI that directly generates emails.","evidence":{"band":"high"},"sourceUrl":"https://www.ibm.com/case-studies/artefact","dates":{"publishedAt":"2026-09-15T09:05:27.347Z","publishedAtSource":"pipeline","updatedAt":"2026-09-15T09:05:27.347Z"},"license":"Open for reading and citing with a link to https://findausecase.com/use-cases/artefact-builds-generative-ai-customer-insight-tool-for-a-major-french-bank-in-one-month.
