Insurance Claim Copilot

One-line pitch

Talk to it like a person. It builds the paperwork for you.

The Problem

Filing an insurance claim is painful. You’re already stressed from an accident, flood, or theft — and now you have to navigate confusing forms, policy jargon, document checklists, and back-and-forth with adjusters. Most people don’t know what they’re entitled to, what documents they need, or whether a settlement offer is fair.

Existing solutions are either rigid web forms or generic chatbots that give paragraphs of advice but still leave you to do all the actual work.

---

What We Built

Insurance Claim Copilot is an AI-powered claim filing assistant where the conversation is the interface.

You don’t fill out forms — you describe what happened in plain English. The AI agent reads your message and instantly generates the right interactive UI: a pre-filled claim form, a damage assessment card, a coverage analysis dashboard, or a document checklist. Every screen is built on-the-fly from your conversation.

This is not a chatbot. The agent never responds with a wall of text. Every single response is a rendered UI component — interactive, actionable, and specific to your situation.

How It Works

You: "I was rear-ended at a stoplight yesterday. The other driver was texting."  
  
Agent renders:  
  ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐  
  │  Auto Claim Form                    │  
  │  Date:     May 8, 2026  (pre-filled)│  
  │  Fault:    Other Party  (pre-filled)│  
  │  Injuries: [ ] Yes  [x] No          │  
  │  Police report #: [          ]      │  
  │  [Save & Continue]                  │  
  └─────────────────────────────────────┘  
  
You: "The trunk is caved in and the bumper is hanging off."  
  
Agent renders:  
  ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐  
  │  Damage Assessment                  │  
  │  Trunk lid    ████████░░  Severe    │  
  │  Rear bumper  █████████░  Severe    │  
  │  Tail lights  ████░░░░░░  Moderate  │  
  │  Est. cost:   $3,200 - $4,800       │  
  └─────────────────────────────────────┘  
  
You: "Am I covered?"  
  
Agent renders:  
  ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐  
  │  Coverage Analysis — AUTO-2024-7829 │  
  │  Collision       ✅  $500 deductible│  
  │  Rental car      ✅  30 days        │  
  │  Diminished val. ❌  Not covered    │  
  │  Your out-of-pocket:  ~$500         │  
  └─────────────────────────────────────┘  

Different claim type? Completely different UI. “My basement flooded” generates water damage fields, room selectors, and mitigation checklists. The interface is truly generative — not a template switcher.

Key Features

• Natural language claim filing — describe what happened, agent extracts dates, locations, fault, and damage automatically
• 9 generative UI components rendered contextually based on conversation — forms, assessments, coverage tables, calculators, timelines, settlement cards
• Auto-updating document checklist — mention your police report number in chat, the checklist re-renders with that item checked off
• Coverage analysis — policy terms matched against your specific claim, out-of-pocket calculated automatically
• Settlement negotiation — compare the insurer’s offer to your claimed value, generate a counter-offer with justification
• Multi-claim-type support — Auto, Home/Water, Medical, Theft — each generates different form fields and workflows
• Full claim lifecycle — incident → assessment → coverage → documents → filing → tracking → settlement

Why It’s Different

Traditional Claim Portal	Insurance Claim Copilot
Static forms you fill manually	Forms pre-filled from your conversation
Generic FAQ chatbot	Agent renders interactive UI, not text
Same form for all claim types	Different UI generated per claim type
You figure out your coverage	Coverage analyzed against your specific claim
Document list buried in FAQs	Live checklist auto-updates as you provide info
Settlement offer — take it or leave it	Counter-offer flow with justification

The Hackathon Angle

This project demonstrates what Generative UI actually means — not just generating text that describes a form, but generating the form itself. The agent decides what component to render, what fields to show, and what data to pre-fill — all from a single natural language message.

Every judge interaction looks different. Every claim type produces a unique interface. That’s the demo that wins.

What We Built

An AI copilot for filing and managing insurance claims.
The user describes what happened in plain English — the agent responds with interactive UI, not text.
Forms, damage assessments, coverage dashboards, and settlement flows are all rendered dynamically from conversation.

“Same app. Two claim types. Completely different UI.” — That’s generative UI.

</ol>  
   → Claim Summary: full review before submit  
  
POWER MOVE: Start second conversation  
   "My basement flooded" → completely different form fields.  
   Proves it's truly generative, not hardcoded.
