Alight LumenAI brings additional enhancements including Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to Alight’s Interactive Virtual Assistant (IVA) chatbot, and personalized content and message targeting models trained on large-scale datasets.

With AI-driven automation streamlining the configuration process, the Alight Worklife platform can now help employers seamlessly configure and update eligibility groups, ACA reporting, rates and rate rules, medical expense estimator, premium reporting and more.

As well, an integrated real-time search and chat experience connects with Alight’s IVA to provide employees with even more personalized answers, all in a streamlined view. Employees can now view the top response to their query, along with the top three search results and receive personalized automated recommendations through the Alight Worklife Essentials Content Library, a new collection of specially crafted, multi-channel content delivered based on demographics, plan eligibility, coverage changes and more, creating a consistent digital experience.
