Category | What It Does | Example Use Case |
|---|---|---|
AI Sales Assistance | Automates lead outreach, qualification, and follow-up via two-way text conversations | An AI agent texts a new lead within seconds of form submission, qualifies them by coverage type and timeline, and transfers high-intent prospects to a live agent |
Customer Service AI | Handles policyholder inquiries, claims status updates, and service requests | A policyholder texts to ask about their deductible and gets an instant, accurate response without waiting on hold |
Agency Management AI | Automates back-office tasks like data entry, policy renewals, and commission tracking | Renewal reminders are sent automatically 60 days before expiration, with personalized coverage recommendations |
Marketing Automation | Manages drip campaigns, review requests, and referral programs | A post-bind sequence automatically asks new customers for Google reviews and referrals |
