In the insurance sector, customer service teams receive a large number of emails every day: claims declarations, reimbursement requests, contract changes, and complaints. This high volume creates an organizational challenge to ensure fast processing and consistent service quality. Thanks to artificial intelligence, the mailbot sorts, analyzes, and helps process emails quickly and accurately. It becomes a valuable asset to improve internal organization and deliver a smoother customer experience.
The mailbot is an artificial intelligence solution designed to automate the processing of incoming emails. It goes far beyond classic automated replies, handling numerous repetitive tasks such as message categorization, extraction of key information, urgency assessment, and triggering specific actions, all without human intervention.
The mailbot relies on natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning technologies. It understands message content, detects emotions, identifies priorities, translates exchanges when needed, and can even analyze attachments to extract relevant data.
Integrated into a customer relationship management platform such as Kiamo or Genesys, it optimizes information flows and strengthens coordination between teams. By automating low-value tasks, it frees up time for advisors to focus on sensitive or complex cases. The mailbot thus helps improve team satisfaction (with a +25% increase observed among our clients) and cuts new employee training time in half.
The insurance sector faces a growing volume of customer interactions via email. Every day, customer service teams receive hundreds or even thousands of messages. Without automation, these flows become increasingly difficult to manage efficiently, which can slow down response times and negatively impact the overall customer experience.
The diversity and complexity of requests make this challenge even greater. Whether it's claims declarations, quote requests, contract modifications, or complaints, each message requires careful understanding and appropriate handling. However, not all situations have the same level of urgency or complexity.
At the same time, policyholders’ expectations have evolved. They now expect fast, clear, and always-available responses. The mailbot, available 24/7, provides immediate first-level processing while ensuring intelligent sorting and efficient routing to the right advisors. It helps streamline interactions, boost customer satisfaction, and improve team performance.
The mailbot also ensures consistency in responses while reducing human errors thanks to standardized processes. It further contributes to cost optimization. By handling a large portion of incoming volumes without additional human resources, it maintains high service quality even with limited teams or during peak periods.

The mailbot efficiently processes a wide variety of email requests in insurance: claims declarations (extracting contracts, type of claim, and attachments), contract modifications (address, beneficiaries, coverage, bank details), quote requests (auto, home, health, travel), ongoing case follow-ups (claim or reimbursement reminders), requests for supporting documents or missing files, complaints (sorted by severity and type), questions about policies (coverage, deductibles, waiting periods), administrative requests (certificates, statements, duplicates), and cancellations (verification and forwarding of information).

When a customer email arrives, for example, a claims declaration, the mailbot first performs an in-depth semantic analysis (keyword analysis) to identify the type of request, assess its urgency level, and extract key information related to the policy and the customer. This initial understanding phase enables fast and relevant handling of each message.
The mailbot also detects the emotional tone of messages through sentiment analysis. It can identify whether the customer expresses dissatisfaction, urgency, or simply a routine request, allowing sensitive cases to be prioritized immediately upon receipt.
Next, the mailbot automatically classifies the request into the appropriate category. If the request is standard, it can generate an immediate response using data from the CRM, policy information, and validated response templates. If human expertise is required, the request is immediately routed to the most relevant department.
Additionally, the mailbot summarizes previous conversations, providing concise conversation histories that simplify case follow-up and allow advisors to step in quickly. The mailbot also features continuous learning capabilities: it analyzes customer feedback and the effectiveness of its responses to refine performance over time. This ongoing improvement ensures a steady increase in processing quality.
The entire process is fully compliant with GDPR and the strict security standards of the insurance industry, ensuring confidentiality and protection of sensitive data.
Faced with growing pressure on contact centers, integrating a mailbot into insurance processes has become essential to maintain service quality and operational efficiency. By intelligently automating the processing of incoming emails, insurers increase agility, improve response speed, and boost customer satisfaction. A simple solution to implement, delivering immediate gains and long-lasting benefits.
