Progressive Insurance automates claims and customer service with AI chatbot
Progressive Insurance · Customer service automation · Microsoft
Progressive Insurance faced the challenge of handling large volumes of customer service and claims requests. To address this, they developed the Flo chatbot, an AI-driven conversational agent built with Azure technologies. Flo is integrated with Facebook Messenger and uses machine learning models trained on labeled customer service tickets to categorize and respond to queries for claims, billing, and deductibles. Microsoft Azure Bot Service and LUIS enabled easy updates and continuous improvement of the chatbot's performance. Flo aims to increase efficiency by automating claim submissions, payment scheduling, and delivering auto insurance quotes. It also maintains the company's iconic brand persona, providing witty and brand-consistent responses to users. With over 15,000 customer queries processed within 6 months of launch, Flo reduced the reliance on human agents and enabled scalable, proactive customer interaction. The AI model is continuously refined through regular updates, learning from new interactions to provide better customer experiences and support insurance operations more efficiently. Progressive emphasizes ongoing updates and proactive learning to enhance the bot's service and user engagement.

Progressive Insurance Empowers Employees with Fusion Development Chatbots
Progressive Insurance · Customer service automation · Microsoft
Progressive Insurance, a leading insurer with a reputation for innovation, sought to maintain its edge by improving internal efficiency. Facing limited IT resources for many departments, the company initiated a fusion development approach, combining professional developers and citizen developers to deliver effective solutions. Using Microsoft Power Virtual Agents, Progressive built intelligent chatbots to provide instant answers to internal teams such as Claims, Marketing, Training, and Helpdesk. The initial bot, Cloudie, was designed and launched within three months by a professional developer new to bot-building. Encouraged by the success, other departments began developing their own no-code bots. As a result, the initiative automated responses to common queries, reduced IT bottlenecks, and allowed employees across the company to take part in innovation and solution creation. Teams with limited IT support needed more efficient access to answers and resources. Power Virtual Agents enabled employees in non-technical functions to participate in development, boosting overall efficiency. Professional and citizen developers worked together to break down silos and address business challenges directly.
