A specialty property and casualty carrier operating in the non-standard auto and cross-border vehicle insurance market had a claims intake problem that most carriers are still living with: first notice of loss was being collected through a static web form and routed to a human inbox for manual triage. Every claim — regardless of complexity, fraud risk, or urgency — started the same way, with someone reading a form and deciding what to do next.

The carrier's policy management platform, which handled rating, billing, and policy administration for thousands of policyholders across multiple states, had no automation layer connecting it to claims intake. The result was a slow, error-prone, and unscalable process that grew linearly with claim volume — and offered no visibility, no fraud detection, and no compliance infrastructure as AI regulation began to accelerate across US insurance markets.

QyrosCloud designed and implemented a generative AI-powered omnichannel claims processing platform on AWS — replacing the manual FNOL process with an intelligent, multi-channel intake system capable of receiving claims via web application, chatbot, SMS, and voice, then automatically triaging, analyzing, and routing each claim through a structured adjudication workflow. The result is a platform that handles the full claims lifecycle from first notice to settlement notification — with fraud detection, document intelligence, AI-assisted adjudication, and compliance-ready audit trails built in from day one.

The Challenge

What was at stake.

The carrier's existing claims process reflected an industry-wide reality: most carriers in the non-standard auto segment still operate FNOL through forms, email, and phone calls — not because they don't recognize the problem, but because modernizing claims infrastructure has historically required either a full platform replacement or a multi-year integration project. Neither was viable for a mid-market carrier operating on a legacy policy admin system.

01
Single-Channel, Manual FNOL Intake
Claims intake was limited to a single static web form. Policyholders who filed via phone, SMS, or chat had no structured path — all interactions eventually routed to a human agent for manual data entry. There was no omnichannel capability, no self-service option, and no automated acknowledgment to the claimant.
02
Zero Automation Between Intake and Adjudication
After FNOL, every claim required manual preparation before an adjuster could review it. Documents were uploaded through the form but not analyzed. Vehicle images were received but not assessed. Supporting data — policy records, driver history, prior claims — had to be retrieved manually from the policy admin system. Industry data shows underwriters and adjusters spend up to 40% of their time on administrative tasks rather than actual claim decisions.
03
No Fraud Detection at Intake
Rule-based fraud screening, if present at all, ran post-adjudication — after significant processing effort had already been invested. The carrier had no mechanism to score claims for fraud risk at the point of intake, leaving organized fraud rings and duplicate submissions undetected until much later in the cycle. Insurance fraud costs the US market over $300 billion annually, with industry-wide losses growing 10–15% per year.
04
No Compliance or Audit Infrastructure
With AI regulation accelerating — 23 states and DC having adopted the NAIC AI Model Bulletin, and Colorado's AI Act covering underwriting and claims decisions from February 2026 — the carrier had no audit trail architecture for claim decisions, no explainability documentation, and no evidence layer capable of supporting a regulatory examination.
05
Fragmented Customer Communication
Status updates were handled manually. Claimants had no real-time visibility into their claim. The only communication channel was outbound phone — creating customer dissatisfaction and repeat inbound contacts that added to the operational load.

Customer perspective

A specialty carrier serving high-risk and cross-border auto markets was processing first notice of loss through a public web form and an email inbox. There was no automation, no fraud scoring, no audit trail — just manual triage on every claim. We replaced the entire intake and adjudication workflow with a generative AI-powered, omnichannel claims platform on AWS. The inbox is gone.

Our Approach

How we solved it.

QyrosCloud implemented an omnichannel claims processing solution powered by Generative AI — a production-grade architecture built on AWS-native services — and extended it with carrier-specific integrations, compliance infrastructure, and connection to the carrier's existing policy administration system. The platform was deployed using AWS CDK for repeatable, auditable infrastructure-as-code deployment.

01
Omnichannel FNOL Intake

The first and most visible transformation was replacing the single static web form with a true omnichannel intake capability. Policyholders can now initiate a claim through whichever channel they prefer — and all channels feed a unified, structured claims record.

  • Web application: A React-based claims portal deployed via Amazon CloudFront, protected by Amazon Cognito authentication and AWS WAF, providing policyholders with a guided digital FNOL experience
  • AI-powered chatbot: An Amazon Lex conversational bot embedded directly in the web portal, enabling natural language claims initiation with structured data capture
  • SMS: Two-way SMS via Amazon Connect and AWS End User Messaging, allowing policyholders to initiate and receive updates via text — critical for the carrier's non-standard auto demographic where mobile is the primary access channel
  • Voice: Amazon Connect contact center routing for phone-initiated claims, with Amazon Lex handling intent recognition and data capture before human handoff

Every channel feeds the same downstream pipeline — a unified claims record in Amazon DynamoDB, with consistent data structure regardless of how the claim was initiated.

02
AI-Powered Document Intelligence

Once FNOL is submitted, the platform automatically processes all supporting documents without human intervention — extracting, validating, and enriching the claims record before any adjuster reviews it.

  • Driver's license validation: Documents uploaded via the web portal trigger an AWS Lambda function that invokes Amazon Textract to extract and validate identity information, cross-referencing against policy records
  • Vehicle damage assessment: Accident images are analyzed by Amazon Bedrock using Amazon Nova Pro, which assesses damage severity, estimates repair and replacement costs, and generates a structured damage report — all in seconds, before the adjuster opens the file
  • Document summarization: Amazon Bedrock processes unstructured documents such as police reports and claim forms using NLP, extracting key facts and surfacing discrepancies between submitted documents and policy records

This automation directly addresses the industry benchmark showing AI-powered document processing delivers up to 50% cost reduction on document-driven tasks — applications, submissions, and forms that previously required manual review.

03
Automated Claims Triage and Fraud Detection

Before any claim reaches an adjuster's queue, it passes through an automated triage and fraud scoring layer that classifies severity, routes by complexity, and flags suspicious patterns.

  • Automated triage: Claims are classified by severity, complexity, and priority using generative AI — routing straightforward low-complexity claims toward accelerated processing while escalating high-severity or ambiguous cases to senior adjusters
  • Fraud detection: Amazon Bedrock and machine learning algorithms analyze incoming claim patterns against historical data, detecting anomalies including duplicate submissions, inflated damage assessments, and behavioral patterns consistent with organized fraud rings
  • Duplicate claim detection: Cross-reference logic identifies multiple submissions for the same incident — a common pattern in the non-standard auto segment — before adjudication resources are invested

Industry data from Deloitte identifies fraud detection as one of the highest-ROI applications of AI in insurance, with AI-powered fraud tools projected to grow from a $4 billion market in 2023 to $32 billion by 2032. P&C carriers deploying real-time fraud scoring at intake — rather than post-adjudication — avoid investing processing effort in claims that should never have entered the adjudication queue.

04
AI-Assisted Adjudication

Adjusters access a purpose-built adjudication interface that surfaces everything they need to make a decision — without switching tools, pulling records manually, or reconstructing the claim narrative from disconnected sources.

  • Unified adjuster dashboard: All claim details, document analysis results, damage assessments, fraud scores, and policy information in a single view — eliminating the manual data gathering that consumes up to 40% of adjuster time
  • GenAI Knowledge Assistant: Adjusters can query a Bedrock-powered knowledge base using natural language — asking questions like "What is the average collision repair cost for this vehicle class?" or "What does the policy cover for uninsured motorist claims?" — and receive grounded, document-backed answers via RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) with Amazon OpenSearch Serverless as the vector database
  • Decision workflow: Approve, reject, or request additional information — all actions captured with full audit trail, timestamps, and adjuster attribution in DynamoDB

AI-assisted adjudication aligns with McKinsey's finding that domain-level AI transformation in claims delivers a 3–5% improvement in claims accuracy — and with industry benchmarks showing AI has compressed standard claims processing cycles by up to 50% when automation handles triage and document preparation.

05
Automated Claimant Communication and Settlement

Once an adjuster decision is recorded, the platform handles all downstream communication and fulfillment automatically.

  • Decision notification: AWS Lambda picks adjuster decisions from Amazon SQS and immediately notifies the claimant via Amazon Connect — SMS or voice — with the outcome and next steps
  • Payment processing: Stripe integration enables direct settlement payment for approved claims without manual accounts payable intervention
  • Policy admin system sync: Lambda functions running in a VPC update downstream systems including the carrier's existing policy administration platform, ensuring claims records stay synchronized without manual re-entry
  • Third-party claims system integration: Guidewire and Socotra integration endpoints support carriers who need claims data to flow into enterprise claims management systems for further processing
06
Compliance and Audit Infrastructure

Every action taken within the platform — from FNOL submission to adjuster decision — is captured in an immutable, queryable audit trail designed to meet the requirements of the NAIC AI Model Bulletin and state-level AI governance frameworks now taking effect across US insurance markets.

  • Full decision audit trail: Every AI-assisted decision is logged with inputs, model version, outputs, and adjuster override history in DynamoDB — providing the versioned, explainable record that regulators now require
  • AWS WAF + Cognito: All web interfaces protected with WAF rules and authenticated via Cognito, ensuring only authorized users access claims data and all access events are logged
  • CloudWatch observability: End-to-end observability across the entire claims pipeline — Lambda execution, Bedrock inference, SQS queue depth, Connect interaction volumes — enabling proactive performance management and compliance reporting

This infrastructure directly addresses the compliance gap identified in the research: most carriers using AI in claims lack versioned model audit logs, explainability documentation per decision, and the structured evidence needed to produce a regulator-ready package during a market conduct examination.

Impact

The results speak for themselves.

QyrosCloud transformed a manual, single-channel, inbox-dependent claims process into a production-grade omnichannel platform with generative AI embedded at every stage of the claims lifecycle. The carrier moved from zero automation to a system where the majority of routine claims — FNOL intake, document validation, fraud scoring, damage assessment — are handled without human intervention before the adjuster ever opens the file. The platform doesn't just accelerate existing workflows. It fundamentally changes the economics of claims handling, the quality of the claimant experience, and the carrier's posture against both fraud and regulatory scrutiny.

Claims Cycle Time Reduced Dramatically
AI-assisted triage and document automation remove the manual preparation phase entirely for standard claims. Industry benchmarks show AI has compressed standard claims processing times by up to 50%, with straight-through processing for simple claims becoming achievable for the first time. McKinsey projects that 95% of personal property and casualty claims will eventually be processed straight-through — the platform positions this carrier at the leading edge of that shift.
Adjuster Productivity Unlocked
By automating document extraction, damage assessment, and knowledge retrieval, the platform eliminates the administrative work that consumes up to 40% of adjuster time — freeing the team to focus on complex cases that genuinely require human judgment. BCG research shows claims automation reduces handling costs by 20% while doubling processing speed for standard claims.
Fraud Detection Moved to the Front of the Pipeline
Real-time fraud scoring at intake — before adjudication resources are invested — directly reduces losses from duplicate submissions, inflated damage claims, and organized fraud patterns. AI fraud detection tools are shown to save 3–5% of total claim payouts. For a carrier processing significant claim volumes annually, that reduction compounds into material financial impact year over year.
Omnichannel Experience Delivered
Policyholders can now initiate and track claims via web, chatbot, SMS, and voice — meeting the non-standard auto demographic where they actually are. Industry research shows digital claims experiences with real-time status updates drive measurably higher customer satisfaction, and J.D. Power's 2025 US Claims Digital Experience Study found overall satisfaction is highest when customers receive mobile status updates throughout the claims process.
Compliance Infrastructure Built In
The platform's audit trail, model logging, and explainability architecture address what regulators are now examining in market conduct reviews. With 23 states and DC having adopted the NAIC AI Model Bulletin and new state-level AI acts taking effect in 2026, carriers without structured AI governance infrastructure face both examination risk and competitive disadvantage. This carrier now has a regulator-ready evidence layer embedded in the platform itself — not bolted on after the fact.
Scalable Without Adding Headcount
The serverless architecture — Lambda, SQS, DynamoDB, Fargate — scales automatically with claim volume, handling peak periods without provisioning additional infrastructure or staffing. The carrier can grow its book of business without proportionally growing its claims operations team.
