"Pouch has fully tapped into the APIs and architectural flexibility of the Instanda digital insurance platform to go further with its AI than other virtual assistants in the industry," he said.
A Future-Ready Solution for the Insurance Industry
Goodie maintains the agent's ownership of the customer relationship while streamlining various administrative tasks associated with sales, commissions, and renewals. Further functionalities of the AI assistant include follow-ups on existing quotes and completing payments with agent approval.
Hill commented on the broader impacts of the solution, noting: “Doing so frees agents to focus on higher-skill tasks while still maintaining control over the customer relationship. This represents the positive future of a digitally enabled insurance industry, and we are thrilled to partner with organisations like Pouch to bring that future state to today.”
