Heirs Insurance Group, Nigeria’s fastest-growing insurance group, has announced the launch of its multi-language generative AI assistant, Prince AI, marking a major milestone in its digital transformation journey and reinforcing its commitment to making insurance simple, accessible, and inclusive.
The launch comes as the Group approaches its fifth anniversary, highlighting five years of redefining insurance through innovation, customer-centricity, and technology-driven solutions.
With Prince AI, Heirs Insurance becomes the first insurer in Nigeria to deploy a multi-language generative AI assistant, setting a new benchmark for customer engagement in the industry. The AI-powered assistant delivers instant, intelligent responses not only to customer requests about Heirs Insurance products, but also to broader insurance enquiries, helping users understand coverage options, assess their needs, and identify the right policies for their unique situations.
Built with accessibility at its core, Prince communicates fluently in multiple local and international languages, including English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, and many more, breaking down language barriers and enabling more customers to engage confidently with insurance in the language they understand best.
Beyond handling enquiries, the AI assistant enables customers to purchase and renew policies, initiate and track claims. The chatbot is available across WhatsApp, the SimpleLife Mobile App, and the Heirs Insurance website, delivering seamless, always-on service experience across multiple digital touchpoints.
Speaking on the launch, Peace Okhianmhense-Philips, Chief Digital Officer, Heirs Insurance Group, said:

This innovation allows us to connect more meaningfully with our customers, anticipate their needs, and deliver support that is instant, intelligent, and accessible.”
Built on adaptive intelligence, the AI Assistant continuously refines its capabilities through every interaction, ensuring customers receive increasingly accurate and relevant guidance. Where personalised counsel is required, Heirs Insurance’s seasoned representatives stand ready to provide expert advice and clarity, ensuring a hybrid experience that blends the speed of automation with the empathy of human support.
