Tate employee knowledge chatbot

Approach
SouthState's Spark innovation group developed and launched Tate in 2023. The bank built the generative AI chatbot in Microsoft Azure using internal data. Tate answered employee questions from approved documents and supplied supporting content and citations.
Results
Takeaway
Approved internal documents supplied the assistant's answers. The reported search-time improvement came from the bank's own account.
