Smarter decisioning

AI and predictive models guide next-best actions and help prioritize high-risk accounts.

Our approach to AI in collections is practical, governed, and measurable. Through controlled phased rollouts, we help you begin with lower-risk, AI-generated call summaries, expand to contextual assistance and real-time guidance, and then progress to AI-enabled digital interactions when your organization is ready. Key attributes of our AI-enabled collections capabilities include:

  • Embedded, not bolted-on AI, with transparency into how AI informs strategies, decisions, and workflows
  • Strategy-aware intelligence that supports prioritization, channel selection, and treatment paths, not just interaction-level assistance
  • Grounded in real-life collections work, including day-to-day collector tasks and workflows, rather than generic AI use cases
  • Designed for real-world adoption, reducing the effort, risk, and disruption of moving from AI pilots to day-to-day operations
  • Built for both collectors and customers, unifying agent tools and self-service experiences in a single platform
  • Aligned with governance and risk frameworks, with clear human decision points and auditable, reviewable outputs

Call Summarization


 

Call summarization

Turn each collections call into clear, structured notes—automatically. Call Summarization uses AI to generate call summaries, key outcomes, and next steps to reduce after-call work and support quality assurance and coaching. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): up to 30% reduction in after-call work and a 1+ minute reduction in overall call time.

 

Ask Data


 

Data collection

Ask Data (available soon) enables collectors to ask natural-language questions about accounts, policies, and procedures, receiving relevant guidance in seconds, without breaking their workflow. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): up to 20% improvement in agent productivity by speeding access to product, policy and training information.

 

Agent Assist


 

Agent assistant

Agent Assist (available soon) provides AI-assisted real-time prompts and next-best action guidance to support disclosures, hardship options, objections, and payment plan discussions—without taking actions on the collector’s behalf. Typical impact (industry benchmarks): 10%-20% improvement in promise-to-pay conversion and up to 20% reduction in agent attrition.

CGI Credit Studio for collections supports every stage of the debt collection life cycle—from early intervention to final resolution—helping creditors optimize efficiency and collection results with embedded AI, automation, and self-service tools.

Pre-collections

Predictive models and early-warning analytics identify accounts showing risk signals and automatically trigger targeted, timely outreach.

Early-stage collections

AI-enabled decisioning prioritizes worklists, recommends channels and offers, and combines self-service with agent support to increase first-contact resolution.

Late-stage recovery

Strategy-aware models guide hardship, settlement, and escalation decisions while assistive tools support complex negotiations and capture structured outcomes for downstream action.

Bankruptcy and repossession

Structured workflows, automated documentation, and performance analytics ensure compliant execution and measurable oversight of recovery activity.
