Trusted by the world’s most customer-centric companies, eGain’s platform combines the power of generative AI with structured, curated enterprise knowledge to deliver accurate, consistent, and compliant answers across every customer touchpoint. eGain’s customer base is anchored in large enterprises — approximately 90% of our clients have revenues exceeding $1 billion. Within insurance, we have built deep, trusted partnerships with leading carriers including Liberty Mutual, Amica, Achmea, and Country Financial, with growing momentum across P&C and Life segments.
