Best Practices

Explanation Agent Tips

Get better explanations:

  • Be specific: Ask about particular factors, coverages, or calculations

  • Follow up: Ask “why” to get deeper explanations

  • Request examples: Ask “what if” questions to understand scenarios

  • Clarify terms: If you don’t understand, ask the agent to explain

Example interactions:

Good: "Why did the brick construction reduce my premium?"
Better: "How much did brick construction save compared to wood frame?"

Good: "Explain the territory factor"
Better: "Why is territory 14 more expensive than territory 01?"

Rating Agent Tips

Optimize conversations:

  • Be natural: Talk normally, the agent understands context

  • Provide details: More information = faster quote

  • Correct mistakes: Say “actually” or “change” to update

  • Review before calculating: Confirm all details are correct

Example corrections:

Agent: "You said 500 square feet, correct?"
User: "Actually, that's 5000 square feet"
Agent: "Updated! 5,000 square feet."

Bulk Rating Tips

Maximize efficiency:

  • Validate data: Check your data before upload

  • Use templates: Download and modify sample templates

  • Monitor progress: Watch the real-time progress indicator

  • Review errors: Check error logs for failed ratings

  • Use webhooks: Get notified when large jobs complete
