AIA Group streamlines customer service operations across Asia

Use case typeCustomer service automationUpdated Jun 13, 2026

AIA Group, Asia's largest independent life insurance provider, embarked on a multi-year transformation initiative to enhance customer and employee experiences in its contact centers. Starting in 2020, AIA deployed Microsoft Dynamics 365 Customer Service to modernize its support operations. In 2024, the company integrated Copilot, a generative AI solution, into its Singapore and Thailand call centers to further optimize processes. Copilot automates time-consuming tasks such as drafting emails and summarizing chat or case histories, enabling customer service representatives to manage more cases efficiently. Automation of routine tasks and knowledge surfacing allows reps to focus on building stronger customer relationships and offering personalized service. The rollout of Copilot was preceded by rigorous assessments around fairness, privacy, and AI safety, and compliance is maintained by a dedicated AI Council. AIA is now expanding Copilot to more markets, in collaboration with Microsoft for ongoing innovation and new features. The AI-powered transformation has reduced case wrap-up times significantly and helped maintain high standards of customer service, while upholding responsible AI principles.
