Quick Start Guide¶
Using the Explanation Agent¶

Complete a rating calculation
Navigate to the rating run detail page
Click Explain This Quote button
Read the automatic explanation
Ask follow-up questions in the chat
Example Questions:
• "Why is my premium this amount?"
• "How did the territory factor affect the price?"
• "What would happen if I increased the deductible?"
• "Explain the building class rating"
Using the Rating Agent¶
Screenshot Placeholder: Conversational flow - User says “I need a quote for my business” → Agent asks about product type → Collects information → Calculates premium¶
Click Chat Mode or AI Quote Assistant
Tell the agent what you need: “I need a quote for my business”
Answer the agent’s questions naturally
Review collected information
Confirm and calculate premium
Example Conversation:
User: "I need a BOP quote"
Agent: "I'll help you with that! What's your territory code?"
User: "Downtown Chicago"
Agent: "That's territory 14. What's your building's square footage?"
User: "About 5000"
Agent: "Perfect! Next, what's your business classification?"
Using Bulk Rating¶

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
Security and Privacy¶
Data Protection¶
Screenshot Placeholder: Security diagram showing encrypted WebSocket, user authentication, session isolation, and no conversation storage¶
AI agent security features:
Encrypted Communication: All WebSocket connections use TLS
Authentication Required: Must be logged in to access agents
Authorization Checks: Can only access your own data
Session Isolation: Each conversation is independent
No Storage: Conversations are not saved (only ratings)
Audit Trail: All rating calculations are logged
Data Handling¶
What the AI sees:
Data Type |
Access |
|---|---|
Rating Data |
Full access to calculation inputs and outputs |
User Information |
Name and ID only (no contact info) |
Product Config |
Factor definitions, tables, formulas |
Conversations |
Not stored; ephemeral session only |
Other Users’ Data |
No access (except staff/superusers) |
Limitations and Considerations¶
Current Limitations¶
Be aware of these limitations:
Limitation |
Details |
|---|---|
Calculation Accuracy |
Agent explains results; doesn’t change calculations |
Product Knowledge |
Limited to configured products only |
Historical Data |
Can only access ratings you created or can view |
Complex Scenarios |
May need multiple clarifying questions |
Language Support |
English only (currently) |
Response Accuracy¶
AI agent responses are:
Factual: Based on actual rating data and configuration
Consistent: Use the same formulas and tables as the rating engine
Helpful: Designed to explain, not to sell or persuade
Limitations: May occasionally need clarification or correction
Note
If an agent’s explanation seems incorrect, please report it to your administrator. The agent learns from configuration data, and errors may indicate a configuration issue.
Cost Considerations¶
Screenshot Placeholder: Admin dashboard showing AI usage metrics - conversations per day, average tokens per conversation, estimated cost¶
AI usage costs:
Per Conversation: ~$0.01-$0.03 average
Bulk Rating: Negligible per rating (~$0.001)
Enterprise Plan: Usage tracked and billed monthly
Cost Controls: Administrators can set usage limits
