Key Fields
FIELD STAMPS🔧 Workflow
Daily, the system pulls newly added claim images and report forms from the insurer's case pool. It first uses OCR to extract medical bills, policy terms, and historical payment records. Then, it passes this data to an LLM to verify consistency in amounts and apply risk control rules to flag anomalies. Finally, it outputs a three-tier conclusion: automatic payment, pending manual review, or suspected fraud for investigation. A structured audit report is generated for every case, uploaded back to the insurer's system, and logged. Fees are settled based on the number of valid cases processed, with human adjusters only reviewing edge cases flagged as anomalous.
🛠 Setup Requirements
Requires proficiency in Python and FastAPI, familiarity with at least one cloud provider's OCR and vector database, and either insurance claims knowledge or access to de-identified samples for rule calibration. Use LangGraph to orchestrate the audit workflow and integrate with the insurer's case pool API. A minimum viable product can be launched in 4 to 6 weeks, with weekly iterations on rule thresholds thereafter. For private deployments, prepare Docker images and offline model solutions to meet insurer requirements for data residency.

💰 Revenue
① Commission per case from small/medium insurers (Primary income): Insurers pay per valid verification. 20 RMB/case × approx. 1,300 cases/month = approx. 26,000 RMB/month, accounting for ~52% of monthly income (based on a self-reported potential of 50,000 RMB/month, not independently verified); ② Suspected fraud special verification: Insurers pay 80-120 RMB/case for special investigations (volume unverified). Combined, monthly income can reach over 50,000 RMB, accounting for ~48% of monthly income (50,000 - 26,000 = 24,000 RMB, calculated from case study, lacks independent audit); ③ Private deployment project fees: Insurers pay deployment fees per project (pricing undisclosed). Monthly incremental cost is approx. 3,000 RMB (case study data, not third-party verified); the proportion of total income is unspecified. ④ Opportunity: AI agent penetration in property insurance—sources state that over 60% of property insurers will adopt AI agents by 2026, but only 15% will achieve full automation (media estimate, not independently verified). Expanding to non-automated insurers is an opportunity, though no specific revenue share is provided.
💸 Cost
OCR and LLM usage costs account for about 15% of revenue, approx. 3,900 RMB; server and database subscriptions are approx. 800 RMB/month. Total costs are controlled within 5,000 RMB, with a gross margin of about 80%. If the insurer requires private deployment, additional GPU servers or reserved cloud resources are needed, increasing monthly costs by approx. 3,000 RMB.
⏱ Time Investment
Initial setup takes about 6 weeks. After launch, it requires about 3 hours daily for reviewing anomalous cases, iterating rule thresholds, and communicating with the insurer. An additional half-day per week is needed to generate audit accuracy reports for the insurer's risk control department.
🚀 Getting Started
Start by obtaining 30 de-identified claim samples from a familiar small insurer or insurance intermediary. Manually label them as 'approved,' 'denied,' or 'fraud,' and use an off-the-shelf LLM to run a version of the rules to verify accuracy. Once consistency reaches over 90%, pilot the service for three months on a per-case fee basis. After building a track record and reputation, negotiate an annual framework contract and gradually expand to other insurers.
🔑 Keys to Success
- ✅ The quality of de-identified sample labeling directly determines rule precision and recall; focus heavily on calibration in the first month.
- ✅ Settling based on the number of valid cases processed builds insurer trust quickly and avoids negotiations for large upfront payments.
- ✅ The three-tier conclusion design allows insurers to retain a manual review entry point, reducing compliance concerns and procurement resistance.
- ✅ Logging every audit and producing an auditable report is the foundation for contract renewal and expansion.
- ✅ Deepening rules by binding to vertical insurance types like auto or health insurance creates a stronger barrier to entry than general claims auditing.
⚠️ 风险
- ⚠️ Claims auditing involves financial compliance; AI misjudgment may lead to legal disputes. It must be clearly defined that AI only serves as an auxiliary pre-screening tool, with a manual review channel retained.
- ⚠️ Insurer claims data is sensitive; private deployment requirements increase delivery and maintenance costs. Individual contractors must define data liability boundaries in contracts.
- ⚠️ Low-price competition is intensifying; major InsurTech firms may use standardized products to crush small, relationship-based contracts. You must build barriers through deep vertical scenario rules.
📌 Real Cases
- 📌 Qusar claims automation testing showed a reduction in single-case processing time by 17 hours and an overall cost reduction of about 30% based on the Guidewire framework, validating the scalable value of AI claims auditing.
- 📌 Fubon Financial in Taiwan launched an intelligent claims assistant in 2026, officially announcing that it compressed manual review time to minutes, serving as a landmark case for AI Agents entering production in insurance.
- 📌 Yuanbao achieved minute-level insurance claims processing through multi-agent collaboration, demonstrating that AI verification has moved from concept to production in real insurance operations.
- 📌 Shi-zai Agent was cited as an implementation case in 2026 enterprise-level agent technology path analysis for its role in assisting loss assessment and claims verification in insurance automation.
