summarize: Many financial institutions started building conversational AI,
prior to the Covid19 pandemic, as part of a digital transformation
initiative. These initial solutions were high profile, highly personalized
virtual assistants — like the Erica chatbot from Bank of America. As the
pandemic hit, the need changed as contact centers were under increased
pressures. As Cathal McGloin of ServisBOT explains in 'how it started, and
how it is going,' financial institutions were looking for ways to automate
solutions to help get back to 'normal' levels of customer service. This
resulted in a change from the 'future of conversational AI' to a real
tactical assistant that can help in customer service. Haritha Dev of Wells
Fargo, saw a similar trend. Banks were originally looking to
conversational AI as part of digital transformation to keep up with the
times. However, with the pandemic, it has been more about customer
retention and customer satisfaction. In addition, new use cases came about
as a result of Covid-19 that accelerated adoption of conversational AI. As
Vinita Kumar of Deloitte points out, banks were dealing with an influx of
calls about new concerns, like questions around the Paycheck Protection
Program (PPP) loans. This resulted in an increase in volume, without
enough agents to assist customers, and tipped the scale to incorporate
conversational AI. When choosing initial use cases to support, financial
institutions often start with high volume, low complexity tasks. For
example, password resets, checking account balances, or checking the
status of a transaction, as Vinita points out. From there, the use cases
can evolve as the banks get more mature in developing conversational AI,
and as the customers become more engaged with the solutions. Cathal
indicates another good way for banks to start is looking at use cases that
are a pain point, and also do not require a lot of IT support. Some
financial institutions may have a multi-year technology roadmap, which can
make it harder to get a new service started. A simple chatbot for document
collection in an onboarding process can result in high engagement, and a
high return on investment. For example, Cathal has a banking customer that
implemented a chatbot to capture a driver’s license to be used in the
verification process of adding an additional user to an account — it has
over 85% engagement with high satisfaction. An interesting use case
Haritha discovered involved educating customers on financial matters.
People feel more comfortable asking a chatbot what might be considered a
'dumb' question, as the chatbot is less judgmental. Users can be more
ambiguous with their questions as well, not knowing the right words to
use, as chatbot can help narrow things down.

Model description
This model is t5-small fine-tuned on the 190k Medium Articles dataset for predicting article titles using the article textual content as input.
There are two versions of the model:
- t5-small-medium-title-generation: trained from t5-small.
- t5-base-medium-title-generation: trained from t5-base.
Visit the title-generation space to try the model with different text generation parameters.
