Oshison LLM drafts answers to internal inquiries
Sompo Japan reported about 40% less work time for inquiries its AI could answer
Problem
Sompo Japan handled heavy inquiry traffic between agencies, branches and headquarters. Its existing knowledge search system left staff with substantial answer-writing work.
Approach
An internal engineering team developed Oshison LLM using company manuals and Q&A material. It displayed draft answers with reference documents for employees to review. After a fiscal 2024 trial, the insurer released it nationwide in June 2025.
Results
Takeaway
The time saving covered answerable inquiries, about 60% of the total. It did not measure a reduction across all inquiry work.
