Report a claim at midnight.

Quote inquiry on Sunday.

Insurance brokers work in advisory meetings; the customer with water damage reaches out anyway, by phone, by email, in chat. AI agents capture claim reports in structure, pre-qualify quote inquiries, and answer contract questions from your knowledge base. The broker stays in the conversation.

Get started

In short

The rinqo AI agent for insurance brokers answers calls around the clock, takes structured claim reports (date of loss, course of events, parties involved, claim amount), qualifies quote inquiries by line and need, and escalates to you or directly to insurer hotlines. From the same stored company knowledge, rinqo answers enquiries from chat, the web form and the inbox and gives the team on the ground what it needs.

The situation

The DIHK intermediary register lists 46,951 insurance brokers licensed under § 34d GewO as of 1 January 2026, plus 98,307 agents tied to a single insurer. A brokerage handles claims and contract questions side by side, and both arrive in waves: after storms and hail, at quarter-end, when premiums are adjusted. That is exactly when the adviser is in a meeting, and a claim still needs to be recorded properly. The rest are standard service questions. An AI agent triages reliably, the broker stays in advisory meetings. The same stored knowledge carries every channel you switch on, and answers the questions your team would otherwise pass along.

Where it pinches

  • Claim reports after a storm weekend: 50+ calls Monday morning, the phone collapses.
  • Quote inquiries need pre-qualification (line, need, existing), first calls cost 15+ minutes.
  • Existing-client inquiries about contracts and bonuses block advisory slots.
  • Insurer hotlines with wait times of 20-40 minutes frustrate customers.
  • Cross-sell opportunities from standard inquiries often go unnoticed.

How rinqo solves this

Phone, chat, email from one source

Claim reports come classically by phone, quote inquiries increasingly by chat (on the broker website), contract updates by email. The agent is identical across every channel, with your line expertise and your tone.

The same knowledge, wherever it is asked

Lines (private, commercial, life, health, motor, liability, property), common claim schemes, insurer rates, cross-sell triggers. The agent quotes from your knowledge base and insurer PDFs. Concrete tariff recommendations stay with you. The same applies to every channel you switch on, and to your team looking it up instead of asking around.

It records structured

On claim: date, course, parties, claim amount, insurer, policy number, all into your broker software (MIS, AMS, MVP, Comzept) via webhook. On quote inquiry: line, need, prior contract, risk profile. Lead record created, appointment or callback arranged.

What the agent handles

  • Structured claim reports (private, motor, commercial, property)
  • Pre-qualify quote inquiries (line, need, prior contract)
  • Answer contract inquiries and portfolio updates
  • Compensate insurer hotline frustration (direct takeover)
  • Identify cross-sell triggers (e.g. building inquiry → property update)
  • Appointment booking for advisory calls in the broker calendar
  • Emergency escalation on major losses (fire, natural catastrophe)
  • Look internal knowledge up on the spot instead of asking around
  • Turn references and vacancies into on-brand posts

Our recommendation

The biggest lever in the broker office is claim triage and lead pre-qualification. The phone agent records structured claims and qualifies quote inquiries by line and need, the broker only gets actually active matters on the desk. The knowledge behind it then carries the other channels and the questions asked internally.

GDPR in insurance

Broker offices process particularly sensitive data: contract data, claim histories, health and asset information. rinqo hosts all data in Germany and is fully under data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. Insurer-specific compliance (e.g. VVG, business secrets) stays with the broker.

  • EU hosting (Hetzner Falkenstein/Nuremberg), data processing entirely in the EU
  • Connection to MIS, AMS, MVP, Comzept on request
  • Claim data is only stored in the contract record, not in AI training
  • Configurable retention on transcripts (default 90 days, chat and email up to 10 years, phone up to 365 days)
  • AI Act Art. 50: AI voice marker mandatory from 02 August 2026, built-in
