system, and aligns them with delivery proofs and contractual agreements that might be stored in a dedicated contract management repository or within the deduction management system. This cross-system information harmonization uses sophisticated data integration techniques and APIs to extract pertinent data seamlessly.

Customized email generation

After compiling all the relevant data, the GenAI uses NLP and ML algorithms to craft personalized emails for each invalid deduction case. These emails are not generic. They are tailored to address the specifics of each deduction and the recipient. The customization goes beyond just embedding the customer's name or the deduction amount. It also involves adjusting the tone, language, and content based on the customer's profile, past interactions, and the nature of the invalid deduction.
