Sunlife Asia has announced a new collaboration with Google to bring Google Workspace with Gemini to its adviser force across Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.
Gemini will be available within Google Workspace and integrated into advisers' day-to-day work alongside Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and Google Meet. According to the release, it is intended to help advisers provide prompt and personalised services, manage teams, and support coaching and sales conversations.
Advisers will also get Sunlife-produced resources, including product information, client-facing materials, and meeting follow-up content. Commercial terms, adviser numbers, and rollout dates were not disclosed.
"Our ambition is to develop the industry's most respected advisors. That means giving them the tools, information and support they need to deliver great Client experiences. Google Workspace with Gemini helps advisors spend less time on routine tasks and more time focused on Clients," said Frankie Leung, Chief Agency Officer, Asia, Sunlife.
"We are thrilled to partner with Sunlife Asia to bring Google Workspace with Gemini to their regional advisor network," said Haydn Sallmann, Director, Google Workspace, Asia Pacific.
The company said the initiative supports its strategy in Asia to strengthen adviser capabilities and enhance the client experience, and reflects its approach to responsible AI adoption. Sunlife describes AI as a tool to strengthen human relationships in an advice-led business.
