AI for insurance brokers

AI for Insurance Brokers That Qualifies Policy Enquiries and Books Broker Calls Around the Clock

Boafo Agent gives commercial and personal lines insurance brokers a branded AI front line that answers policy enquiries, qualifies new business and renewals against your appetite and books broker calls, 24 hours a day, without ever giving regulated advice.

Live in production with real customers. Trained on your business before launch.

What's getting in the way today

  • Brokers get pulled into vague first-touch calls instead of placing business.
  • Out-of-hours enquiries (van, fleet, property, professional indemnity) cool off before Monday.
  • Renewal enquiries deserve a real conversation, but they queue behind new business in the inbox.
  • Web forms ask three questions and miss the appetite data you actually need.
  • Cheap chatbots are a regulatory risk because they slip into advice the moment they're unsure.

How a Boafo AI Employee works for an insurance broker

We train an AI Employee on your lines (motor, fleet, property, professional indemnity, public liability, cyber, healthcare, marine, specialty), your panel, your appetite per line and your broker rota.

Policy enquiries are qualified against your appetite. The AI captures the data you actually need: cover required, sums insured, claims history, occupation, sector, fleet size, premises, current insurer and renewal date. It never quotes and never gives advice, but it always books the right broker.

Renewal enquiries are recognised and routed to the renewing broker with the current policy reference attached.

Claims first notification is taken as a structured FNOL: policy, date of loss, detail, third-party detail, witnesses, then escalated to claims handler.

Out-of-hours and weekend cover is the same agent on the same rules, with explicit FCA-friendly framing. See after-hours answering service for the rota detail.

Example conversation

Visitor:I'm starting a fleet of 8 vans and need cover from next month.
AI:Happy to help, I'll book you with one of our fleet brokers. Quick scope: are these LCVs only or mixed, and what kind of work, courier or trade?
Visitor:8 LCVs, last-mile courier.
AI:Got it. Where are they based, and do all 8 drivers have clean licences?
Visitor:Reading hub, 6 clean, 2 with single points.
AI:Thanks. I'll book a call with our motor fleet specialist tomorrow at 10:30. Best email to send the diary invite to?

Is this right for an independent broker?

Yes. An independent broker competes with direct insurers and much larger brokerages on response time and on quality of conversation. Boafo Agent gives both, around the clock, for a flat fee.

Add a new line, take on a specialist, expand into a new region and the AI updates overnight, routing by line and renewing broker automatically.

Setup, training and go-live

We crawl your website, ingest your lines, panel and appetite, agree the qualifying questions per line with compliance and connect to your broking system or Google Calendar. Most brokers are live within a week.

Frequently asked objections

What happens when we miss enquiries?

In broking, missed enquiries become commission paid to a competitor or, worse, to a direct insurer. New business is hardest to win and easiest to lose to a faster broker. Renewal enquiries that sit in an inbox often end in the customer going direct. Boafo Agent answers every enquiry in seconds, qualifies against your appetite and books the right broker, protecting both new business and renewals.

Will it give advice and create a regulatory risk?

No, never. It is trained to scope, qualify and book, with explicit language about not giving advice. Anything regulated is escalated to a broker with the full conversation logged in your tenant.

Can it actually qualify against our appetite?

Yes. We load your appetite per line on setup, and the AI applies it consistently. Anything outside appetite is captured politely without burning a broker slot.

Does it integrate with our broking system?

Yes, via webhook, plus email and Google Sheets out of the box.

Is the FNOL it takes good enough for claims?

Yes. Policy, date of loss, detail, third-party and witnesses captured in a clean format, escalated straight to claims.

The bottom line for insurance brokers

Broking lives on first response and on quality of conversation. For £99/month Boafo Agent delivers both, around the clock, with the compliance posture broking demands. Book a 20-minute demo and we will show the AI qualifying a sample fleet enquiry for your firm on the call.
