The insurance sector is experiencing a profound transformation due to Artificial Intelligence (AI), moving from traditional, complex processes to more intuitive and accessible customer experiences. Currently, over 70% of customers start their insurance journey online, reflecting a significant shift in consumer behavior. AI is crucial in simplifying this process, enabling customers to receive clear and relevant information through conversational interfaces rather than navigating complex documents.
