AutoSettled - AI-Powered Car Insurance Claims Processing

Inspiration

Traditional car insurance claims processing takes 2-4 weeks and frustrates customers who need quick resolutions after stressful accidents. Despite having all necessary documentation, claimants face lengthy waiting periods while insurers manage high processing costs per claim.

We built AutoSettled to transform this experience by processing claims in under 5 minutes while significantly reducing operational costs.

What it does

AutoSettled automates car insurance claims through conversational AI:

3-5 minute processing (vs. 2-4 weeks traditional)
AI vision analysis for damage assessment
Smart document verification with fraud detection
Significant cost reduction for insurers
Transparent decisions with detailed AI reasoning
Instant PDF reports with full claim documentation

5-Step Process:

Customer Verification (< 5 sec) - Identity and policy confirmation
Policy Selection (< 5 sec) - Coverage and deductible review
Damage Analysis (30-40 sec) - Claude Sonnet 4.5 Vision assessment
Document Processing (60-180 sec) - AI-powered document verification
Settlement Decision - Approved / Rejected / Manual Review

How we built it

Architecture:

AWS Bedrock Agent (Claude Sonnet 3.7/Nova-pro) - Intelligent orchestration
Claude Sonnet 4.5 - Advanced vision analysis for damage assessment
AWS Lambda - 5 serverless functions for scalable processing
Amazon DynamoDB - Customer, policy, vehicle, and claims data storage
Amazon S3 - Secure image and document storage
React + TypeScript - Modern, responsive frontend interface

Key Components:

Conversational Interface - Natural language claim submission
Vision AI - Analyzes damage photos for severity and consistency
Document Processor - Validates police reports, repair estimates, invoices
Fraud Detection - Multi-factor risk assessment and cross-verification
Decision Engine - Transparent AI reasoning with human oversight options

Challenges we ran into

Data acquisition - Finding realistic car accident data, police reports, and repair estimates for training and testing. Solved by generating high-quality synthetic data that mirrors real-world scenarios
Multimodal AI coordination - Seamlessly managing context between text conversations and vision analysis
Prompt engineering - Iterating through 20+ versions to achieve 95%+ accuracy in damage assessment
Real-time performance - Optimizing all components to maintain sub-5-minute total processing time
Data consistency - Ensuring reliable cross-verification between photos, documents, and historical records

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Working proof-of-concept agent - Developed a functional AI agent that car insurance companies can deploy for processing straightforward, routine claims
95% time reduction - Processing normal claims in minutes instead of weeks
97% cost reduction - Dramatically lower operational costs per straightforward claim
Complete transparency - Every decision includes detailed AI reasoning
Scalable architecture - Serverless design handles variable claim volumes effortlessly

What we learned

Agentic AI transforms workflows - Bedrock Agent enables truly conversational, context-aware experiences
Multimodal AI is production-ready - Claude 4.5's vision capabilities rival human insurance adjusters
Serverless architecture scales perfectly - Lambda and DynamoDB handle unpredictable claim volumes without infrastructure management
Transparency builds trust - Showing AI reasoning is crucial for user acceptance in high-stakes decisions
Cross-verification is essential - Validating information across photos, documents, and historical data significantly improves accuracy

What's next for AutoSettled

The next phase involves comprehensive validation of the AI agent against real-world insurance claims datasets to measure effectiveness, accuracy, and operational performance metrics. Upon successful validation and performance benchmarking, we will proceed with market deployment and integration with insurance company systems.
