Truist advances AI to create more meaningful client interactions

AI Call Summaries handle the note-taking so care center teammates can focus on clients, resolving needs faster and delivering more personalized service.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Truist Financial Corp. (NYSE: TFC) today announced the full deployment of AI Call Summaries across its care centers, using generative AI to automatically convert client conversations into concise, structured summaries within seconds. By handling the note-taking and post-call documentation automatically, the technology frees care center teammates to stay fully present with clients, resolve needs faster and deliver more personalized, informed service on every call.

Since its implementation in the third quarter of 2025, the capability has scaled rapidly, generating more than 4.5 million summaries, in the second quarter of 2026 alone, and supporting more than 70% of care center inbound client interactions. The average Truist care center phone call lasts more than eight minutes, making the ability to quickly capture key themes, client needs and resolution outcomes particularly valuable. Based on average time savings of approximately 30 seconds per call, AI Call Summaries saved teammates more than 36,000 hours in the second quarter of 2026.

"At Truist, listening to clients is central to how we improve the experience across the client journey," said Truist Head of Digital, Client Experience, and Marketing Sherry Graziano. "By using AI-powered capabilities, we can consolidate feedback, organize insights and get answers to clients more efficiently. This is a great example of being digitally empowered yet deeply relational, equipping teammates with the tools they need to serve our clients with greater care."

Across Truist Care Centers, AI Call Summaries help teammates access key information from prior interactions and prepare for follow-up conversations. "Deploying generative AI-powered call summaries across our care centers is a meaningful step forward in how we support our teammates and serve our clients," said Truist Head of Truist Care Centers Kimberly Dorsett. "Instead of manually capturing conversation details, teammates can use AI-generated summaries to quickly understand and respond to clients with greater confidence."

AI Call Summaries represent a foundational step in Truist's broader strategy to embed AI into everyday workflows, improve the client experience and reimagine how work gets done across the organization. As one of Truist's earliest enterprise-scale generative AI applications approved for broad use, the capability reflects the bank's commitment to scaling AI responsibly. Truist plans to extend the capability to additional areas of the bank, demonstrating how targeted AI use cases can deliver immediate value while creating a foundation for greater operational consistency, institutional knowledge capture and better decision-making across the organization."
