Blue Machines AI lifts Muthoot Finance gold-loan branch visits
Muthoot Finance is using an AI system made by Blue Machines AI to help people ask about gold loans.
The AI talks with customers and collects information about their loan needs.
It also asks about the gold they may use as collateral and where they live.
Then it guides suitable customers to the nearest Muthoot Finance branch.
The companies say branch-visit conversions increased by 150% after the system was introduced.
The system contacted 1.39 million leads and connected with 63.1% of customers.
Customer journeys now take about two minutes instead of more than seven minutes.
The companies are considering using the technology for more customer-service tasks.
