Trust & Will achieves 68% automated resolution with Will-E AI agent built on Ada

The problem

Trust & Will's scripted chatbot could not handle the nuanced, emotionally sensitive estate planning questions their customers brought, producing looping experiences and lacking the empathy required, while a lean team faced growing demand.

First attempt

The previous scripted chatbot caused looping experiences, lacked empathy for estate planning conversations, and could not resolve even simple issues like applying promotional codes, forcing escalation to human agents.
