AI-Driven Negotiation Platform for Optimized Debt Recovery

Use Case Description 

An automated negotiation chatbot engages delinquent borrowers through a series of psychological assessments and questions to evaluate their willingness to repay. It assesses the borrower’s creditworthiness and personal profile, enabling customized communication strategies. If the system identifies an opportunity for early repayment, it prompts the borrower with tailored messages emphasizing the benefits of early debt settlement.
