TriNet Assistant, AI chat for client questions on benefits and payroll
TriNet's AI assistant handled half of customer-started chat sessions within months of launch
Problem
TriNet's customers ask service staff about benefits, payroll and other workforce management matters. Chat volume added to service case loads.
Approach
TriNet launched TriNet Assistant, an AI chat tool, in spring 2026. It answers customer-initiated chat questions on benefits, payroll and related topics. The CEO reported its results on the second-quarter 2026 earnings call.
Results
Takeaway
The CEO tied the assistant's share of chats to lower service case volumes. The call gave no cost figure.
