AI Receptionist for Insurance Brokers
Capture every quote request, streamline claims intake, and manage renewal enquiries around the clock — while maintaining full compliance with your AFSL obligations.
Why Insurance Brokers Cannot Afford Missed Calls
Every unanswered call is a lost quote, a delayed claim, or a lapsed renewal.
The Australian insurance broking industry handles over $30 billion in premiums annually, and the vast majority of new business still starts with a phone call. When a business owner needs professional indemnity cover, a homeowner wants to compare premiums, or a fleet manager needs a certificate of currency urgently, they pick up the phone. Yet industry data from the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) shows that 38% of inbound quote enquiries are lost because the call was not answered promptly — the caller either reached voicemail or gave up waiting on hold.
For a brokerage where the average annual premium per client is $890 for personal lines and $3,200 for commercial lines, each missed quote call has significant long-term value. A single commercial client retained over five years represents over $16,000 in premium income — and that is before cross-sell opportunities. The challenge is that brokers spend their days in client meetings, reviewing policies, and liaising with underwriters. The front desk handles multiple lines, and during peak periods like renewal season or catastrophe events, call volumes can spike by 4 to 5 times the daily average.
An AI receptionist purpose-built for insurance broking solves this by answering every call instantly, capturing structured quote details, handling claims FNOL intake, and managing renewal conversations — all within your AFSL compliance framework. It never gives financial advice, always routes complex queries to your licensed team, and logs every interaction for audit purposes. Brokerages using our system report a 28% increase in quote conversion rates simply because every enquiry is captured and actioned, rather than lost to voicemail.

Learn moreFrequently Asked Questions
Common questions from insurance brokers considering AI phone answering.
Yes. The AI follows your custom quote intake workflow, collecting the type of cover required (home, motor, business, professional indemnity, etc.), relevant details like property address, vehicle registration, business turnover, and current insurer. It captures the caller's contact details, preferred contact method, and urgency level. All information is delivered to your team in a structured format — either via email, CRM entry, or directly into your broking platform — so your advisers can prepare a quote without needing to call back for basic information.
The AI follows your claims intake protocol to capture essential first notification of loss (FNOL) details: policy number, date and nature of the incident, parties involved, and any immediate actions taken. For urgent claims like house fires, motor accidents, or business interruption, the AI can immediately escalate to your claims team or the relevant insurer's emergency line. It provides the claimant with their reference number and explains the next steps in the claims process, reducing anxiety and setting clear expectations.
The AI is configured to operate within your Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL) obligations. It never provides personal financial advice, make coverage recommendations, or interpret policy terms — these require a licensed adviser. Instead, it captures enquiries, provides general information you have approved (such as your FSG details), and routes complex questions to your qualified team. All interactions are recorded and logged for compliance audit purposes, and the AI includes appropriate disclaimers as required by your compliance framework.
Absolutely. The AI can proactively call or respond to inbound calls about upcoming renewals, capturing whether the client wants to renew, review their cover, or explore alternatives. It can share renewal premium information if provided, note any changes in the client's circumstances that may affect their cover, and schedule a callback with their account manager for detailed discussions. This ensures no renewal falls through the cracks, which is critical for both revenue retention and your duty of care obligations.
Yes. The AI is trained on insurance terminology and can distinguish between personal lines (home, contents, motor, travel), commercial lines (public liability, professional indemnity, business interruption, workers compensation), and life/income protection enquiries. It routes each type to the appropriate team or adviser based on your internal structure. It also understands common insurance jargon callers use — "my excess", "third party claim", "certificate of currency" — and responds appropriately without confusion.
Making a claim is often stressful — callers may have experienced a car accident, home burglary, or business damage. The AI is configured with an empathetic, calm communication style for claims conversations. It acknowledges the situation, reassures the caller that their claim will be handled, collects necessary details methodically without rushing, and provides clear next steps. For high-severity situations, it prioritises immediate escalation to your team while keeping the caller informed about what is happening.
We integrate with major Australian broking platforms including Sunrise Exchange, Insight/EBM, Open GI, and SSP Pure Broking. The AI can create new client enquiries, log claims notifications, and update contact records directly in your system. For brokerages using generic CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce, we push structured data into your pipeline with appropriate tags and assignment rules. If your platform has an API, we can likely connect to it within 48 hours of setup.
Natural disaster events like floods, bushfires, and storms cause massive spikes in insurance calls — often 10 to 20 times normal volume. Unlike human staff who are overwhelmed, the AI handles unlimited concurrent calls with zero wait time. During catastrophe events, you can activate a disaster response script that prioritises claims intake, provides emergency contact numbers (SES, emergency services), and captures FNOL details at scale. This is particularly valuable for regional brokerages that serve affected communities and cannot afford to be unreachable when clients need them most.
