IG Japan Launches AI Chatbot to Provide 24/7 Customer Support
IG Securities has launched a new AI-powered chatbot called Gio within its trading platform. The new support tool is available around the clock and aims to help traders find answers quickly, even outside regular customer service hours. IG Securities is the Japanese subsidiary of IG Group.
AI Chatbot
The new AI Chatbot (Gio) lets users ask questions through a chat interface at any time. Traders can access support during the night, on weekends, and on public holidays when customer service teams may not be available.
The chatbot generates responses using information published on the company's website. It provides guidance on account-opening procedures and information about the brokerage's products and services.
IG Japan clarified that the chatbot is not intended to provide investment recommendations or encourage trading activity. Instead, it serves as an information and support tool.
Basis for Responses
According to the company, the chatbot's answers are generated using information available at the time of reference. Since company information may change over time, the content of the responses can also be updated without prior notice. This approach lets the chatbot provide information based on the latest material available on the firm's website.
Service Available to Everyone
IG Japan has made the AI chatbot available free of charge. Users do not need to hold an account with the brokerage to access the service. By opening the tool to both clients and non-clients, the company is making information about its services more easily accessible to a wider audience.
Feedback Function to Be Phased Out
IG Japan announced that it will gradually stop accepting enquiries through the feedback function built into its trading system. The move suggests that the company plans to shift more customer interactions toward the new AI-based support channel.
