Gemini increased output accuracy from less than 95% to 99.9%, reduced content generation time from four hours to 10 seconds, and helped Gazelle launch four new products in under a year, saving brokers 4 to 6 hours of manual work per property.
Healthcare for All with Kry using Azure OpenAI Service
Kry (known as Livi in the UK and France), Europe's largest digital-first healthcare provider, uses Azure OpenAI Service to analyze unstructured clinical notes and medical records, transcribing doctors' notes and pre-filling referral letters through its Kry Pro platform to reduce administrative burden on clinicians and better match patients to the right care.
Sandvik Revolutionizes Manufacturing with Microsoft AI Solutions
Sandvik, a Swedish manufacturing technology company, built the Manufacturing Copilot using Azure OpenAI Service and Azure AI Search to give employees and customers natural-language access to decades of product documentation, help files, and audio/video recordings across its CAD/CAM software brands (including Cimatron, GibbsCAM, and SigmaNEST). Rather than building separate solutions per product, Sandvik created a shared service with product-specific Copilots, each trained on brand-specific proprietary knowledge and supporting 19 languages with domain-specific translation algorithms. The tool is used internally in sales, customer support, and training, and was first launched across three CAD/CAM brands with a rollout planned to reach 400,000 users. Sandvik reports an average productivity gain of 20-30% (up to 50% for entirely new problems) and roughly 50% less time to onboard new salespeople.

Swedbank, the largest bank in Sweden and third-largest in the Nordic countries with more than 7 million customers, migrated its analytics capabilities and application services to a Databricks-driven platform on Microsoft Azure and implemented Immuta as its unified access control plane. Using a risk-based, twofold sourcing approach that kept on-premises scenarios running in parallel during migration, Swedbank centralized markets and share trading, customer analysis, and cybersecurity data on one internal platform, making AI and machine learning available in one click and enabling shorter development cycles and faster fraud/suspicious-behavior detection.
