Integrating AI to create a more proactive user experience


Integrating AI for a Proactive User Experience
Belgium’s leading telecom and digital services provider, serving millions of customers. In the telco industry, staying competitive isn’t just about network quality; it’s about the customer experience. Proximus saw an opportunity to leap ahead by leveraging AI to create smarter, more proactive user interactions.
Over the course of several weeks, we co-created and prototyped six high-impact use cases that demonstrated the power of proactive AI. Each use case was designed to enhance user experience and operational efficiency. All of these experiences were built on Nimble’s modular agentic infrastructure, allowing us to rapidly spin up specialized AI agents that work together to deliver intelligent, cohesive outcomes.

A clear need
AI as an opportunity
A fast paced AI Discovery Track
Proactive support
An AI support agent that predicts common issues and addresses them before customers reach out. Think alerts about “bill shock” (unexpected high charges) with one-tap solutions, or a heads-up on network disruptions with automatic troubleshooting. This turns customer support from a reactive hotline into a preventive concierge service.


In-home experience
A smart “homefeed” agent that personalizes the in-home digital experience. It learns from your usage (TV, internet, smart devices) and proactively suggests content or adjustments. For example, it might pre-load the evening’s football match in HD knowing you’re a fan, or remind you to set up a Wi-Fi guest network before your friends arrive. It’s like a digital butler making your home life smoother.

AI-enhanced in-store support
Bringing AI intelligence into Proximus shops. We prototyped a co-pilot for store staff that instantly pulls up relevant info and recommendations as they talk to a customer. Imagine a sales agent who, with AI help, already knows you called about an issue last week and preps a tailored solution before you even ask. The result? Faster, hyper-personalized service in-store, with AI working hand-in-hand with human experts.

Rights delegation
Simplifying how customers manage who can access their services. This use case introduced an AI-driven flow to delegate account rights securely to family or colleagues. For example, a parent could grant a teenager limited control over the home Wi-Fi or a business owner could allow an IT assistant to manage the company’s mobile plans, all through a natural-language chat with an AI that ensures proper permissions are set without hassle.

Self-service upgrades
An intelligent self-service agent that guides customers through solving issues or changing services on their own. Rather than combing FAQs, users get a conversational AI that already knows their context. “Why is my internet slow?” might prompt the agent to run a quick diagnostic and walk the user through a fix, or offer to upgrade their plan if needed. It’s DIY support, supercharged with AI, reducing calls to the helpdesk and empowering users.

Insights dashboard
A proactive insights engine for both customers and internal teams. For customers, it visualizes their usage and spots ways to save or get more value (e.g. “You haven’t used your international minutes – how about a smaller plan that saves €10/month?”). For Proximus managers, it aggregates live data from all these AI interactions into a dashboard of trends, pain points, and opportunities. It’s not just an analytics tool; it’s an AI that flags what matters most, in real time.
