Insurance buyers do research online before they talk to an agent. They compare coverage, check deductibles, and start quote forms. Most of those forms are abandoned before submission because they are long, impersonal, and ask for information the buyer does not have handy.
Meanwhile, agents spend hours on incomplete submissions and repetitive policy questions. NIVA flips both problems: a conversational insurance persona that educates, collects quote inputs step by step, and delivers estimates inline.

What an insurance chatbot needs to handle
- Answer policy and coverage questions from a knowledge base
- Collect quote inputs conversationally (vehicle, property, health, life)
- Call your rating engine API and deliver estimates inline
- Open CRM opportunities with complete, structured data
- Handle first notice of loss (FNOL) for claims intake
- Route complex or high-value cases to a licensed agent
Quote intake: how the flow works
A prospect asks about auto insurance on your website. The Insurance Advisor persona answers coverage questions from the knowledge base, then the Flow Engine guides them through quote inputs one field at a time via Smart Forms: vehicle year, make, model, driver age, coverage preferences.
When all inputs are collected, an API node calls your rating engine. The estimate appears inline in the chat. A webhook opens a CRM opportunity with the full submission attached. If the prospect wants to proceed, the flow routes them to an agent with full context, no repeat questions.
Why conversational beats static forms
Smart Forms appear inline at the moment of intent, one or two fields at a time. Completion rates are 2–3× higher than traditional multi-page quote forms because the bot explains each field and handles objections in real time.

Claims intake (FNOL)
For existing policyholders, a separate Claims Intake persona handles first notice of loss. The flow collects incident details, policy number, date, description, and supporting information through structured forms. Urgent claims (injuries, total loss) branch to a priority queue or callback prompt. Standard claims push to your claims management system via webhook.

Yes. A Claims Intake persona collects FNOL details through guided Smart Forms, routes urgent claims to priority queues, and pushes structured data to your claims system via webhook.
How does NIVA improve quote form completion rates?
Smart Forms collect one or two fields at a time inline in the conversation. The persona explains each field and handles objections, which typically doubles or triples completion vs. static multi-page forms.
