SuperApp assistant for internal HR policies
PNB reported instant HR answers after policy queries previously took 15 to 30 minutes

Approach
PNB launched its SuperApp in February 2024 using Azure OpenAI Service. Integrated with Microsoft Teams, it answered internal policy questions in natural language. PNB customized it to comply with internal guidelines.
