AI customer assistant for insurers: policy answers from your own handbook, approved by two people

How an insurer configures Kav: coverage questions answered from the current policy handbook, wording reviewed by two people, and claims handed to a person.

By The Kav team Published 2 min read

Insurance questions are policy questions: what is covered, what is the excess, how do I make a claim. An answer that is nearly right is worse than no answer, because the customer will act on it at the worst possible moment.

A depiction, not a customer. No insurer is named here. The example is the platform's own illustration, marked example data on the home page.

What a policyholder asks, and what Kav answers

  • "What's covered under my policy's roadside assistance?" The answer is drawn from the insurer's policy handbook, with its source shown. In the example: a flat tyre, a dead battery, and towing up to 50 km from where the vehicle stopped. File a claim and Talk to a person sit beside it.
  • Freshness without risk. A scheduled sweep re-crawls each source on its own cadence. A change on the insurer's policy page becomes a draft, never live text. A named person in the accountable department submits it, and a different person approves it, before the assistant can ever read it back (the two-person rule).
  • No invented answers. The assistant is held to what the approved text says (how Kav stops the assistant making up answers).
  • A claim goes to a person, with context (what a human agent inherits).

Where the money moves

The bold rows are the levers an insurer leans on most.

Lever What Kav does here What you measure
Fewer repeat contacts Coverage and how-to-claim questions are answered from the approved handbook. Coverage-question contacts per 1,000 policies.
Faster when a person steps in File a claim and Talk to a person hand over with the conversation attached. Handling time on first-notice-of-loss contacts.
Out of hours, every channel Roadside and claim questions arrive at the roadside, not at nine the next morning. Contacts outside office hours.
Fewer errors and rework An answer is only what the approved text says, with its source shown; a page change becomes a draft, not live text. Corrections issued for a wrong coverage answer.
Compliance and audit Two named people sit between a source change and a customer-facing answer, and staff views of customer data are audit records. Time to evidence who approved a given wording.

Work out your own number

  1. Sample a month of contacts and count those that are pure coverage or process questions.
  2. Cost per contact = agent hours × loaded hourly cost ÷ contacts handled.
  3. Value = those contacts answered without a person × cost per contact. Separately, count how often you have had to correct a coverage answer, and what each correction costs.
