Anyone with a child, a spouse, a life partner, or a parent as a dependent needs life insurance. Purchasing a life insurance product has recently become an online business. The percentage of customers purchasing an online insurance product is considerably higher compared to what it was 10 years ago.
Consider a prospective customer visiting an insurance site and finding a bouquet of products to choose from. Most of the insurance products are designed by considering the most generic features desired by a majority of customers. Such generic products do not end up being purchased, as these products fail to match the individual requirements of the customer.
On the other hand, an insurance product should be designed by considering the customer’s individual data, such as gender, profession, health records, and data from wearables. Such an insurance product would be tailor-made to every customer visiting the site and would contain the features specifically required by the customer (with an option for add-ons), thereby removing the redundant ones. This is now possible, thanks to Artificial Intelligence (AI).
AI not only helps online platforms break down complicated terms but also personalizes plans for users. It makes things clear and straightforward.
Thinking about how AI helps? Let’s dive deep into it:
Easy Understanding
Customers lose interest after reading/hearing the terms (also called jargon!) like Binder, Face amount, Incontestable clause, Material Representation, and so on. Understanding such terms is exhausting and overwhelming. AI-driven models use terms that are understandable even to a layman. AI can also answer your questions 24×7 in regional languages, making it easy and interesting to shop for an insurance product.
Tailor-Made Products
AI isn’t into ‘one-size-fits-all.’ It looks at your age, income, family situation, and financial goals. Then it gives you policy suggestions that fit you. This helps the customer to pay only for what they need and get only what he/she want. A working professional, teacher, retired person, serviceman — everybody gets what they want.
Comparison Is Now as Easy as Pie
Go to a website, key in the search criteria, select the relevant products out of the whole plethora available out there, and start comparing the features and prices!! Reading this itself is tiresome, let alone comparing all the insurance products offered on the site.
AI tools help us by extracting only the relevant data from multiple insurance providers and then presenting it to us in a very easily readable and understandable format (side-by-side comparison charts). It also helps us with a recommendation, just to make it easier for a purchase.
Claims and Settlements
What good is the insurance that doesn’t settle the claims made? A lot of paperwork (an iota of error and the claim is rejected) to be filled out and endless trips to the insurance office to get the claim settled, is something that can make the wait forever. AI is changing that. It helps check documents and assess risks faster. Many insurance companies in India are using AI to speed up claims. Using AI, one can get their claim sorted in just minutes.
Fraud Detection and Prevention
Insurance fraud is a big problem in India. AI can help by spotting strange patterns that might mean fraud is happening. This is good for both insurance companies and honest customers. It helps keep insurance prices fair and affordable.
Education and Financial Literacy
AI platforms also provide educational articles and videos to enable customers to make a well-informed decision about buying the required insurance product.
