Business case
Insurance
Prudential · Great Eastern
Prudential: Global AI Lab in SG backed by MAS & EDB; Google Cloud partnership; 100+ use cases across 24 markets. Focus: agent productivity, real-time guidance. Gap: all lab — nothing production-wired into advisor workflow.
Great Eastern: GERICA advisor chatbot deployed; SVP Digital Transformation on-staff. Pilot stage — no production agentic system.
Largest revenue pool in financial services after banking. Lapse is a CEO-level number — every percentage point of persistency retained is S$10–20M in a S$1B in-force book. Prudential’s AI Lab is fully funded and looking for a production partner, not another POC.
Advisor distribution & persistency agent — lead-to-policy conversion and lapse prevention across policy admin, CRM, and the advisor portal. The AI lab gives us a funded, technically sophisticated buyer already convinced of the use case. We bring the production capability they don’t have.
Bank Hapoalim
Savings campaign agent · Israel
88% voice containment · 100k customers · ~40k interactions/month · live in 3 weeks by 1 in-house engineer. Proof that an agent can acquire and convert, not just deflect.
+S$30–80M
5% persistency lift on S$1B in-force = S$50M/yr in premiums retained. Advisor productivity adds 10–20% new policy conversion on top.

Telecom
Singtel · StarHub
Singtel: Signed Sierra (Mar 2026, $15B) for inbound chat “Shirley” — 70k cases, 73% resolved without human. Gap: Sierra is inbound chat only. No outbound voice sales, no retention/churn agent, no upsell-on-diagnosis flow.
StarHub: Haptik chatbot (NPS −40→+10, wait times halved). Cloud-first with Infosys Compaz. Gap: rule-based, no voice, no agentic motion.
Singtel just proved willingness by signing Sierra. That’s not a threat — it’s the fastest opening in the market. Sierra does inbound chat. The outbound voice + upsell + retention motion is the lane Sierra structurally can’t fill. Entry via McKinsey, who maps telco ARPU and churn levers, or via Google Cloud as a joint go-to-market.
Retention, diagnostics & proactive upsell on one voice flow — service and revenue on the same call. We enter with what Shirley can’t do: outbound churn-save, fault-diagnose-and-upsell voice, proactive upgrade offer triggered by the support interaction itself.
Telefónica
EMEA carrier · voice + WhatsApp
91.5% containment · <2 min calls · −50% AHT vs previous AI · ×2.5 volume scale, NPS held. The answer to every “will quality suffer?” objection.
Bezeq
ISP · 5M+ users
−40% call duration · 75% first-attempt resolution · +15% CSAT. Diagnosed after evaluating 12+ vendors.
+S$20–50M
1% churn reduction on ~S$1.5B SG consumer revenue = S$15M retained ARPU/yr. Proactive upsell on the same call adds 5–10% ancillary revenue per resolved interaction.

Banking
DBS · OCBC · UOB
DBS: 2,000+ AI models across 430+ use cases, ~S$1B economic value (FY2025), DBS Joy GenAI corporate bot, named World’s Best AI Bank. Note: DBS deliberately de-risked unsecured consumer lending in 2025. Gap: Joy is corporate FAQ; no agentic outbound collections or cross-sell voice agent on the consumer book.
OCBC: First bank globally to deploy GenAI for all employees; agentic KYC (10 days → 1 hr); GenAI for 900 wealth advisors (Apr 2026). Gap: all internal. Customer-facing agentic collections and cross-sell absent.
DBS and OCBC are the most AI-mature banks in the region — they already believe, have budget, and have internal AI teams looking for a production partner. DBS pulled back on unsecured lending in 2025, so the collections pitch is sharper at OCBC and UOB, or reframed at DBS around cross-sell and wealth-conversion voice rather than pure recovery. Entry via McKinsey / QuantumBlack, who already model these flows with the banks’ own data.
Collections recovery & cross-sell — vernacular reminders, hardship handling, next-best-offer agent in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil. The two gains compound: +44% promise-to-pay multiplied by +19% promises kept = +72% cash recovered per contact. Open after the first in-country reference is live.
Banco Caja Social
Colombian bank · collections · full retail portfolio
45%→65% promise-to-pay · 31%→37% paid · +72% net cash recovered · −33% AHT · 43,658 calls in 3 weeks · live in 19 days.
S$70–140M
Additional cash recovered/yr on DBS-scale unsecured book (~S$6B). Same +72% uplift applied to SG early-stage (1–90 DPD) collections. ~1–2% of group net profit from one workflow.

NTUC FairPrice Group
Multi-year Google Cloud deal (Store of Tomorrow, Aug 2025) — Gemini Smart Carts, Google Agentspace for staff. Salesforce Einstein chatbot deflecting 80% of CS cases. 1.7M app users, 2.4M Link Rewards members. Gap: in-store and ticket-deflection AI excellent; no voice or conversational agent on loyalty servicing and cart recovery.
Singapore’s largest retailer at ~S$3.7B group revenue and 35% food-retail market share, 500k+ daily customers, 570+ touchpoints, and a 2.4M Link Rewards base with zero proactive voice or conversational layer. Google covers in-store; Salesforce covers tickets. The loyalty and cart-recovery agent is the white space between them. Entry via Google Cloud as a joint go-to-market — Wonderful runs on Google infrastructure.
Cart abandonment recovery & Link Rewards engagement agent — personalised re-engagement on abandoned baskets, loyalty tier nudges, and promotional offers across app, chat, and voice. Lowest integration complexity of any high-value account.
Banco Caja Social
Outbound conversion agent · proactive contact
Same proactive outreach pattern as cart recovery: agent initiates, reads the situation, drives conversion. 65% conversion on outbound contact, 6,000 contacts/day.
+S$25–50M
1–2% basket uplift on ~S$3.7B group revenue (FPG is Singapore’s largest retailer, 35% market share) via personalised prompts + loyalty nudges. Cart recovery on 1.7M app users recovers 5–10% of abandoned baskets.

Grab Holdings
AI Centre of Excellence (SG); 1,000+ AI models; GrabX 2026 — 13 AI features (Apr 2026); Driver AI Assistant + AI Merchant Assistant built with OpenAI & Anthropic (Apr 2025). $2.8B revenue, $4.0–4.1B guided 2026. Gap: strong partner and internal AI; no production agentic voice agent on consumer CX or subscriber retention at scale.
Grab built its last two AI products with Anthropic — Wonderful runs on Claude. That’s the partnership angle: extend what they’re already building, with the one capability Anthropic doesn’t provide (production voice deployment at enterprise scale). Entry via the Anthropic partnership or via McKinsey, who advises Grab on platform strategy.
GrabUnlimited subscriber retention & driver-partner support agent — proactive churn-save on subscription cancellation signals, driver earnings coaching at volume, and merchant onboarding support. 50M+ monthly transacting users, consumer voice support still largely ticket-based.
OTE Group
Hellenic Telecom · voice agents
50% deflection (3× baseline) · 77% containment · −30% AHT · 1m30s avg handling time. Subscriber retention at volume — same motion as GrabUnlimited churn-save.
+S$25–60M
2% churn reduction on GrabUnlimited subscribers + driver-partner support deflection saving ~S$8–15M in support ops. SG GMV (rides + food) ~S$1.5–2B; retention agent protects repeat-purchase base.

Travel & hospitality
Singapore Airlines · Changi Airport
SIA: Salesforce Agentforce + OpenAI partnership (Mar 2025); Qualtrics CX analytics (Jul 2025). Gap: Agentforce = case management and agent assist. No real-time voice on IRROPS rebooking or ancillary upsell — exactly the high-value, time-pressure use case.
SIA is the most visible premium brand in the market, travels across APAC, and has just proved its willingness to buy agentic AI by signing Salesforce. The gap is specific and known: Agentforce is a case-management tool. Real-time voice under IRROPS pressure is not what it does. Entry via Salesforce as a complementary deployment or via McKinsey aviation practice.
Booking conversion & IRROPS recovery agent — real-time rebooking, ancillary upsell (seat upgrade, lounge, hotel), and KrisFlyer loyalty servicing under time pressure in multiple languages. The premium multilingual showcase that travels APAC.
Telefónica
Voice + WhatsApp · ×2.5 volume scale
91.5% containment · NPS held during highest volume months. If it holds at telco scale, it holds during an IRROPS event. Multilingual, high-pressure, real-time — same brief.
+S$20–50M
IRROPS affect millions of SIA passengers/yr. Proactive rebooking + ancillary attach (5–10% on disrupted passengers) vs reactive call centre: S$20–50M+ annual revenue recovery. CSAT improvement protects the premium loyalty base.

Healthcare
IHH Healthcare
Both investing in digital health and patient-experience platforms. No production agentic voice on appointments or triage. MOH-governed — separate compliance track from MAS.
An efficiency story more than a revenue story, which is why it sits below the revenue accounts. But it’s the fastest build-to-replicate because we have a direct proof at exactly this use case and scale. The Maccabi reference alone opens the door. Entry via MOH / Synapxe (the national health IT agency).
Patient access & throughput — appointment booking, triage, postnatal follow-up. Repeatable build; the Maccabi Healthcare proof de-risks it completely. Platform compounds on itself with each deployment.
Maccabi Healthcare
240k interactions · 6 weeks · 2M+ members
Voice + chat across multiple patient journeys. Live in 90 days. The most direct proof-to-use-case match on the list.
S$8–20M
IHH SG ~3M outpatient visits/yr. 25% call deflection at S$8–12/call = S$6–9M cost saved. Proactive appointment reminders reduce no-shows, recovering S$2–8M in slot revenue.

Public sector
CPF Board · HDB
Singapore AI Strategy 2.0 explicitly calls for agentic AI in citizen services. CPF handles ~20M member interactions/yr. HDB manages citizen enquiries across BTO applications, resale transactions, grants, and maintenance for 1M+ households — all multilingual, high-volume, under-automated. GovTech and HDB already deployed SmartCompose (LLM email tool) and the AskJudy chatbot, and are trialling commercial AI chatbots (Wiz.AI) in their call centre. Gap: everything is internal-facing or basic chatbot — no production agentic voice agent on citizen-facing enquiries. Long procurement cycle: 12–24 months.
The longest cycle on the list but the highest strategic value: a CPF or HDB reference is a trust signal that opens every regulated account in the region. HDB is particularly compelling because they are already AI-curious — GovTech has been their partner since 2023. Entry via the GM’s GovTech / IMDA network. Start the clock now — the conversation needs to begin in this 90-day window or it misses the FY27 budget cycle.
Multilingual citizen-service agent — scheme servicing and account queries in English, Mandarin, Malay, Tamil, fully governed. The strategic prize is the reference itself: proof that an agent can run at national scale, governed, in all four languages — the credential that de-risks every other regulated buyer.
OTE Group + Telefónica
High-volume multilingual · governed
Both carriers serve millions of interactions in multiple languages under regulatory oversight. The closest structural analogue to a national citizen-service agent.
Strategic — not yet quantified
Deliberately not given a revenue or cost range. The value is the trust halo: a CPF or HDB reference is the credential that opens every regulated buyer in the region. An indicative cost-saving floor (deflection at S$5–8/contact across ~25M+ combined interactions) runs into the tens of millions, but the strategic positioning is the point, not the operating saving.
