Parloa AI agent for hotline call routing (Württembergische Versicherung)
by Württembergische Versicherung AG (W&W Group, Germany) · Primary insurer
Market unit: DE
Württembergische Versicherung, part of the German W&W Group, uses an AI agent built on Parloa's AI Agent Management Platform on its general customer hotline, which receives about 300,000 calls a year. The agent answers every call in natural language, classifies the request and routes the caller to the right contact person via skill-based routing; previously about a quarter of calls had to be transferred. It went live about four months after kick-off, reusing models from an earlier proof of concept. After four weeks in use, callers reached the right contact about one third faster and rated the agent 3.8 out of 5 (vendor case study, 2025). Automating routine requests and self-service for claims and contract queries is being evaluated.

Since September 2021 Baloise has used a virtual voice assistant, developed with Spitch and NTT DATA, in its Swiss non-life customer service. Callers state their concern in standard German or Swiss German dialect instead of using the phone menu; the assistant recognises the intent, mainly claims notifications, and transfers the call with an on-screen text summary for the agent. At launch about 40% of German-language non-life enquiries passed through the assistant and 85% of callers reached the right expert at the first attempt; French was planned for a later stage. Spitch's case study (updated April 2025) describes a hybrid on-premise and cloud setup. Status after the December 2025 Helvetia Baloise merger is not documented.
HUK24, the online subsidiary of HUK-Coburg, has run a virtual assistant in the contact and help area of its website since 2017; it is also embedded in the contact form to answer questions before an e-mail is sent. As reported in 2022, it was built on IBM Watson Assistant with Watson Discovery for search, hosted on IBM Cloud in Frankfurt, and about 1.5 million customer inquiries per year went through it; HUK24 monitors answer quality and request volumes with SAS Viya dashboards. In April 2026 HUK-Coburg's CEO said the assistant reduces HUK24's roughly 900,000 annual customer inquiries by more than 30% (about 300,000 cases). It was rated 'best in class' in the 2022 ComputerBild/Statista digital assistant test. HUK-Coburg reports about 60 AI use cases in production overall (2026).
In October 2022 the Zurich-based AI company Unique announced four proofs of concept with Die Mobiliar (La Mobilière). One of them automatically recorded advisory consultations to test the quality of the resulting transcripts and summaries, with the aim of making preparation and follow-up of client meetings more efficient. No results or move to production have been published since; the only source is a vendor blog. Mobiliar's documented productive generative-AI tool is the separate Mobi-ChatGPT employee assistant (since September 2023).
