Insurance consulting chatbot helps customers understand basic products, answer general questions, gather needs, and transfer agents — but does not completely replace humans, because insurance is a sensitive industry that requires personal consultation and regulatory compliance. Zenify records AI processing accuracy at 98.4% (approved).
TL;DR
- Chatbot does the first part: general information, collecting needs.
- Complex personal/product questions → transfer agent.
- Collect demand information in advance → agent gives correct advice.
- Comply with insurance advertising regulations.
- Do not "close" the insurance contract yourself in chat.

Step-by-step consultation process
1. Welcome + needs classification
"Hello! What type of insurance are you interested in?" [menu: health, life, car, travel...]
2. Collect basic information
"Can you tell me: age, insured people, expected budget?"
3. Basic consultation
"Yes, for health needs and budget X, package A is suitable — key benefits include..." (from knowledge base, see Knowledge base chatbot).
4. Switch agents when details are needed
"Yes, package A has many detailed benefits. I'll connect with a consultant so you can explain carefully and receive an accurate quote."
5. Follow up after consultation
Bot reminds appointments, sends documents, reminds agents to follow-up — customers are not "forgotten".
Why do we need to change agents?
Complicated products: benefits, conditions, exclusions — need someone to explain carefully.
Personalization: each person has their own situation, budget, health history.
Responsibility: Giving incorrect chatbot advice causes major consequences for customers.
Compliance: The insurance industry has regulations on advertising, consulting and transparency (see Insurance consultant).
Industry compliance notes
No over-commitment: do not say "100% insurance", "total exclusion" outside the documents.
Honest interests: Answer according to official documents, not creative.
Save conversation: record for complaint tracing.
Switch to decision maker: Complex contracts, compensation — decision maker.
