Phone agent

for insurance brokers.

Claim reports 24/7, quote inquiries pre-qualified.

Insurance brokerages receive many claim reports that have to be recorded in a structured way. Your agent records claims (date, course, amount, policy number), qualifies quote inquiries by line and need, and hands everything over to your team in a structured way.

Why insurance brokers need an AI agent.

Brokerage calls cluster on Monday mornings (weekend claims), at quarter-end and after natural events (storm, hail). They include claim reports that have to go into the broker software in a structured way, tariff and contract inquiries with cross-selling potential, and standard service questions. An AI agent captures claims in a structured way and records inquiries, while the broker team stays in advisory conversations.

50+ claim reports Monday morning after a storm weekend
Quote inquiries need 15+ min pre-qualification, block advisory slots
Insurer hotlines with 20-40 min wait frustrate customers
Cross-sell triggers from standard inquiries often go unnoticed

How the phone agent works for insurance brokers.

For a claim report, your agent records in a structured way: date, what happened, parties involved, claim amount, insurer, policy number and contact details. Handover by email to your team; MIS, AMS, MVP or Comzept can be connected. For a quote enquiry: line (private, commercial, life, health, motor), needs, previous contract, risk profile, then an appointment or callback is arranged. For a major loss (fire, flood): call routed to the on-call number.

Honest answers to real concerns.

The questions that come up before the start.

Does the agent violate §34d GewO intermediation rules?

No. The agent does not intermediate, it only records inquiries and qualifies. Concrete tariff recommendations, intermediation calls and comparison advice remain reserved for the broker, under §34d GewO and the duty to document advice.

Can the agent estimate claim amount?

No, that is your job as expert or the insurer's job. The agent only records the values stated by the caller in structured form. On major loss it escalates to you or on-call number.

What happens with storm/hail major loss events?

On sudden volume peaks the agent scales automatically (no human bottleneck). You can activate special texts ('We record all storm damage, callback within 24h') and store an extended on-call plan.
