Have an AI voice agent answer an insurance agency's phone and say up front that it's AI

who Laura Meyer, director of MeyerInsure, an insurance brokerage in Ballarat, Victoria (Australia), interviewed by Insurance Business

What it does

After a developer cold-emailed her, she trialled a voice agent named 'Jess' that answers calls and tells every caller it is AI. She emailed clients a week before launch, framing it as a front door or concierge, and she watches calls closely and asks callers for feedback.

The problem

She didn't have the resources to hire a receptionist.

What happened

Reported by Insurance Business: she was 'blown away by just how natural the computer sounded.' Reactions were mixed: one client in his nineties called it a terrible experience, others were not negative though some were bemused, and fellow brokers were split. Her stance: 'If it's not working, I'll can it.' No call numbers reported.
