Muthoot Finance has deployed conversational AI from Blue Machines AI to engage and qualify gold-loan leads, reporting a 150 per cent increase in branch-visit conversions since the rollout.

The platform, which went live within three weeks of proof-of-concept, has engaged 1.39 million leads and achieved a 63.1 per cent customer connectivity rate. Average journey completion time fell from over seven minutes to roughly two minutes — a reduction of more than 70 per cent.

Geographic coverage expanded from around 5,000 PIN codes to more than 19,000 across India, extending Muthoot Finance's digital-to-branch pipeline across a significantly larger share of its network. Branch visits generated through the initiative are on track to scale approximately 36 times from prior levels.

The AI agents handle inbound digital inquiries for gold loans, capturing details such as loan requirements, available gold collateral, and customer location, then directing qualified prospects to the nearest branch. The system integrates with Muthoot Finance's operational infrastructure to validate inputs, identify relevant branches, and resume interrupted customer journeys without repeating earlier steps.

Blue Machines AI, part of the Apna Group, combines speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and large language models through an orchestration layer connected to enterprise systems. The company says the platform can deploy multilingual AI journeys in under a week.

Both companies said they are exploring additional use cases across customer engagement and servicing workflows.
