The insurance industry handles a wide range of customer inquiries - from policy details and claim updates to premium payments and renewals. Many of these questions are repetitive but still require timely responses. Long wait times or confusing processes can frustrate clients and reduce trust in providers.

Dante AI AI chatbots address this challenge by answering routine insurance questions instantly and offering human handover when cases require more complex or personal support.

How AI Chatbots and Human Handover Work for Insurance

With Dante AI, you can:

  • Train your AI chatbot to answer policy FAQs, coverage explanations, and premium payment questions.
  • Connect it to your scheduling links so customers can book consultations with agents.
  • Turn on Human Hand Off to allow customers to connect directly to a live agent inside the AI chatbot whenever they need detailed guidance.
  • Log every interaction so your team has context on what was asked before the conversation is handed over.

This combination ensures customers never feel stuck in automation loops while giving insurers the efficiency of AI for repetitive queries.
