Problem the AI is intended to solve

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) Resource Center is receiving a surge of an unprecedented number of emails requests in the contact center and needs a way to reduce the email processing time.

Expected benefits

This proposed AI solution will deliver assistance to the FHA Resource Center customer service representative through email processing guided response using AI-powered classifications, templates, and checklists. The GenAI acts like a virtual subject matter expert in providing decision support in the processing of customers emails being submitted into the FHA Resource Center.
