Emerging Tech Impact Radar: AI in Insurance

3 to 6 Years Advanced Virtual Assistants Back to Top

Analysis by: James Ingham and Annette Jump

Description: Advanced virtual assistants (VAs) execute complex tasks (or assist people), deliver predictions and accelerate decisions via deep contextual and domain-specific intelligent capabilities.

They are powered by a combination of:

More advanced user interfaces (like 3D and multimodal) ■

Domain-specific virtual assistants (VxAs) are a type of advanced VA designed to perform skilled, domain-specific tasks (like in healthcare, banking, retail or legal). VxAs incorporate customizable, pretrained language models (by task and industry) and integrate with enterprise applications and domain-specific systems. This enables VxAs to automate more complex high-value tasks and proactively engage with skilled professionals by offering some advisory capabilities — an expert system. Natural language processing (NLP) — multi-intent recognition, syntactic- and semantic-based methods, neural real-time machine translation, and synthetic voices ■ Semantic and deep learning techniques (such as DNNs), enabling decision support and personalization ■

Sample Vendors:

Virtual Enterprise Assistants: Amelia; boost.ai; IBM Watson Assistant; Kore.ai; Omilia; Oracle Digital Assistant ■

Virtual Customer Assistants: Amelia; boost.ai; Omilia; Soul Machines; Yellow.ai ■

Range: Midrange (3 to 6 Years)
