Nebraska's Tyler Technologies Resident AI Assistant ('Nebraska Navigator') answered 88,000+ DMV questions in a pilot and is credited with up to 20% lower call volume 'in some areas' before a statewide rollout; it is an answer-only assistant
Nebraska piloted Tyler Technologies' Resident AI Assistant on its DMV website, then rolled it out statewide as 'Nebraska Navigator' on September 1–2, 2026. The assistant answers resident questions using only verified state websites, in 50+ languages, around the clock, and refers users to online services. In the pilot it answered over 88,000 questions from more than 38,000 users, made 3,400+ referrals to state online services, and saw about 19% of interactions after hours. The DMV deputy director says it helped reduce call volume by 20% 'in some areas' (reported by StateScoop, September 1, 2026). Nebraska Public Media reports different pilot figures (188,000+ queries and a pilot starting in December), costs of $40,000 one-time plus $125,000 a year and $12,500 for voice, and criticism from the state auditor and the public employees' union. Tyler does not guarantee answer accuracy.

Air India began building AI.g on Azure OpenAI after Microsoft launched the service in November 2022, and calls it the first airline generative AI customer-service deployment at scale. Microsoft's customer story (February 11, 2026) says AI.g handles about 40,000 queries a day across more than 1,300 question types, from booking changes to refund requests. It has resolved 13 million+ conversations at a 97% success rate, so only 3% go to a human (reported by Microsoft, the vendor). In the same story, CDTO Dr. Satya Ramaswamy cites '97% of 4 million-plus customer queries', which doesn't match the 13 million figure. It is mainly an answer assistant; agents that run full workflows such as refund processing are still in trial
Airbnb started its AI strategy at the bottom of the funnel with customer service. It rolled out an AI customer service agent in spring 2025 and expanded it to all US English users in May 2025. The agent is built on 13 models from OpenAI, Alibaba, Google and open-source providers, relying mostly on Qwen because it is 'fast and cheap'. It shows action buttons and links so guests can complete tasks such as reservation changes or cancellations. It must also work across languages, follow nearly 100 policies and escalate accurately to humans, especially for trust and safety incidents. In October 2025 Airbnb said the agent had cut users needing a live representative by 15% and average resolution time from nearly three hours to six seconds (reported by Fortune/Bloomberg). On the Q1 2026 earnings call CEO Brian Chesky said it resolved over 40% of inquiries, up from about a third the prior quarter. He also said cost per booking fell about 10% year over year, which can't be attributed to the agent alone (reported by CX Dive). The figures are company-reported, but they come from earnings disclosures over about a year of production
Ally Financial built Ally.ai, an internal platform that routes work to LLMs including OpenAI models on Microsoft Azure, and its first production use case drafts summaries of customer care calls that reps review and accept or edit instead of writing notes by hand (reported by American Banker). After about a year and a half in production, CIO Sathish Muthukrishnan said rep acceptance of AI summaries rose from the mid-teens to 90% and summary accuracy from 40% to above 80%, and the use case expanded from banking to insurance and auto (reported by American Banker, July 31, 2025; accuracy is Ally's own internal measure). In 2026 he put accuracy at around 85% with three to five minutes saved per call across roughly 10,000 calls a week (reported by American Banker, June 1, 2026; per-call savings are Ally's estimate, not an audited figure).
easykind, a telehealth start-up launched in 2023, had two Patient Support Coordinators manually triaging the inbox each morning and could only promise 24-hour replies, with phones limited to 9-to-5. Lorikeet's agent now reads every incoming email, tags it Tier 1, 2 or 3 and routes it to the right coordinator queue. 'Buddie', embedded in the logged-in patient experience, answers FAQs around the clock under guardrails required by Australian rules: it never names a product, and if a patient reports concerning side effects it tells them to stop the medication and call emergency services, and escalates to a human. Lorikeet built a Salesforce Service Cloud integration. Email response time fell 92% from 24 hours to roughly two (reported by Lorikeet); Head of Patient Support Steph Galileos estimates four additional hires would be needed to match Buddie's capacity (an estimate of avoided hires, reported by Lorikeet; vendor-published)
Riachuelo, a Brazilian fashion retailer, replaced its previous chatbot with a Genesys agentic virtual agent on WhatsApp. Intelligent CIO reports self-service at 84% versus 30% with the old chatbot, customer satisfaction up 60% and technology costs down 26% (reported by Intelligent CIO LATAM, October 15, 2026, César Nicoletti quoted). The article gives no measurement window, and the CSAT and cost changes also reflect the wider platform change, not the agent alone.
