News

Singapore Airlines leverages OpenAI models to improve customer support, travel discovery, and employee productivity, doubling CSAT for its Kris chatbot.

Singapore Airlines has integrated OpenAI’s advanced models and API into its operations, driving significant improvements in customer support, travel discovery, and employee productivity. The airline’s AI-powered initiatives have resulted in a twofold increase in customer satisfaction scores (CSAT) for its Kris chatbot, a key customer-facing tool.

AI-Driven Customer Support Transformation

The Kris chatbot, previously reliant on a traditional dialog-flow system, has been upgraded to leverage OpenAI’s large language models (LLMs). This transition has enabled a more conversational and intuitive customer experience. As a result, Singapore Airlines reported a 2x increase in CSAT. Additionally, AI-assisted tools, such as OpenAI-powered call summarization, have reduced average handling time for customer service representatives by approximately 10%, allowing them to focus more on customer interactions.

Enhanced Travel Discovery and Employee Productivity

OpenAI technology has also been deployed to improve travel discovery through natural language processing. The airline’s Flight Recommender tool has seen a threefold increase in monthly users over the past year, highlighting its growing popularity among travelers. Internally, Singapore Airlines uses OpenAI models within its governed AI platform, Jarvis, to streamline software development workflows, enhance productivity, and enable teams to deliver more personalized services efficiently.

Commitment to Responsible AI Integration

Singapore Airlines ensures responsible AI deployment by combining OpenAI models with internal data controls, orchestration, validation, and human review. This approach aligns with the airline’s focus on delivering intuitive and seamless travel experiences while empowering employees to work more effectively.

George Wang, Senior Vice President of Information Technology at Singapore Airlines, emphasized the strategic importance of AI, stating, “AI is central to our efforts to deliver more personalized customer experiences and improve productivity across the business. Together with OpenAI, we’re building AI-powered capabilities that make travel more intuitive and seamless for our customers, while enabling our employees to work more efficiently and effectively.”
