Microsoft 365 Copilot rollout (AXA Group)
by AXA · Primary insurer
Market unit: Global
On 20 July 2026 AXA announced a global, progressive rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot to its employees, embedding generative-AI assistance in Teams, Outlook and Word. AXA presents it as the next step after Secure GPT, its in-house LLM service launched three years earlier, and pairs it with an AI upskilling programme and a reminder to keep human oversight of key decisions. No headcount, country list or productivity metrics have been published, and trade press notes that the number of users has not been independently confirmed. This is a licensed Microsoft productivity tool, distinct from the AXA-built Secure GPT platform.

Mobi-ChatGPT is Die Mobiliar's data-protection-compliant generative AI assistant for employees, announced on 13 September 2023. It runs on Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service inside Mobiliar's own cloud with a custom frontend; queries do not go to OpenAI's public interface and are not stored. Employees use it to draft, edit, summarise, translate and proofread texts, generate ideas, answer questions about documents and check code; Mobiliar supports it with AI training modules and communities. At the Bern-West general agency (45 employees), where it started as a pilot, many staff had used it for about a year (Microsoft, 2025) for customer correspondence, summarising long e-mail threads and marketing research, reporting time savings and better communication quality without figures. The number of users is not disclosed.

The Wüstenrot Group, a Central European financial group offering insurance, savings, financing and pension products in Austria, Croatia and Slovakia, has used Mindbreeze InSpire since October 2014 to classify incoming mail automatically. The system handles about 25,000 items a day from paper, email, attachments and web channels, assigns them to 138 document categories, extracts more than 20 metadata fields and routes them to specialist departments; once a set accuracy level is reached, items go through without manual checks. It was trained on about 60,000 pre-classified documents after a multi-vendor proof of concept. Mindbreeze reports 85-95% accuracy in live operation (vendor-reported, 2020 case study); no more recent status was found.
ZuriChat is Zurich Insurance Group's secure generative-AI copilot for employees, supporting everyday work with drafting, summarising, translation and problem-solving. Zurich's group head of AI described it in July 2024 as an internal chatbot similar to ChatGPT but run in Zurich's own environment. According to Zurich's entry for the Qorus Innovation in Insurance Awards 2026, it is used by more than 45,000 employees and has handled over 11 million prompts. ZuriChat won Gold in the Operations & Workforce Excellence category of the Qorus-NTT DATA Innovation in Insurance Awards 2026, announced on 24 September 2026. The underlying models and vendor are not disclosed, and no source links it to the function-specific modules of the ZurichIQ platform (separate entry).
