Generative-AI and autonomous-agent platform from insurtech LISA, deployed by Zurich Chile to automate end-to-end health-claims processing; eligible claims are settled in minutes with higher straight-through automation, fewer complaints and stronger fraud controls. LISA won the Zurich Innovation Championship (2022). Foreign (Chile) market unit of the Swiss-HQ Zurich group.
