Quick answer

FNOL intake automation is a voice AI that answers claims calls 24/7, captures a complete first notice of loss — date, location, damage, parties, and photos — verifies the policy, triages emergencies, and routes a ready-to-work claim to your adjusters, eliminating the callbacks caused by missing information.

The first notice of loss sets the tone for the whole claim. FNOL intake automation makes that first call fast, complete, and available at 3am — when accidents actually happen.

What FNOL intake automation captures

First notice of loss (FNOL) is the initial report of a claim. FNOL intake automation gathers every field an adjuster needs on the first call so the file opens complete:

  • Policyholder and policy number, verified live.
  • Date, time, and location of the incident.
  • Description of loss, parties, and injuries.
  • Photos and documents via a texted upload link.

How the automation works

The agent answers instantly, speaks naturally, and follows your carrier’s FNOL script and ACORD-aligned fields — see ACORD standards. It handles the whole conversation, then hands your team a structured record. This is the same engine behind our insurance voice agent.

Triage and emergency routing

FNOL intake automation recognizes injuries, fire, or total-loss situations and escalates them to an on-call human immediately, while routine losses are logged for the next business day. Nothing urgent waits in a queue.

Consent, recording, and data

Claims calls are recorded with disclosure and handled under SOC 2 and HIPAA-aware controls. Learn whether AI can handle claims calls.
