Apivia Courtage will be deploying Amelia 7, one of the first truly agentic AI platforms on the market, as a key part of the company’s digital transformation strategy. The move builds on a successful relationship between the two companies, which already saw SoundHound’s Amelia platform drive a 20% productivity increase at the insurer’s contact center. Since 2023, the partnership between the two companies has sought to introduce advanced AI agents to support Apivia Courtage’s existing team and deliver innovation that improves customer service. So far, SoundHound’s AI Agents have handled thousands of calls on topics related to medical expense reimbursement ​​and information on insurance guarantee levels. As a result, the company has been able to focus its human teams on bringing more value and time to their relationships with brokers and clients. Now Amelia 7’s advanced agentic capabilities will enable Apivia Courtage to handle inbound customer queries with fleets of AI agents that can reason, act, and perform complex tasks based on multiple intents.
