Insurance broking

Renewal information, sixty days before it is worth anything.

Pidgy is an AI email assistant for insurance brokers. It sorts the inbox before you open it, counts the days on every renewal form a client has not returned, drafts the reminder in your words, and turns what an insurer asked in a thread into work you can see.

The renewal date does not move. The information does.

Sixty days out you ask for the fleet list, the updated turnover, the claims declaration. Thirty days out you ask again. Nine days out the insurer asks you why the quote is late and the honest answer is in somebody's sent items.

It is that nothing in the office counts the days against a date that everybody knows. Two hundred and thirty a day, eleven renewals a month, and the one that goes wrong is the one nobody chased in writing.

Pidgy does not place the cover.

Four things it does before you have opened anything.

Two hundred and thirty a day, and the ones that matter are the ones with a renewal date behind them.

Dear Mrs Van Tichelen, a short reminder about the fleet list for the 1 November renewal. The insurer cannot quote without it and at nine days out we lose the negotiating room. A spreadsheet or a photo of the list is fine.

Van Tichelen renewal, two things before we quote

We can hold the current terms, but underwriting needs the three year claims history and confirmation of the new premises by Thursday. After that the renewal goes to the standard rate.

And then the rest of the day.

Five more things Pidgy does between an email landing and the renewal being bound.

  1. Projects

    And it adds up to a picture.

    Every renewal becomes a project: what the client has sent, what the insurer still wants, and the date. Every claim becomes one too.

    Three ways to answer it. Or your own words.

    Every thread that needs a reply gets three, and they are the three things you would most plausibly say back given what the client or the insurer asked.

    Dear Sabine, 12% on a section with no claims in three years is going to be hard to put to the client without a reason. Can underwriting come back with something closer to the general movement in the market before I take it to them?

  4. Ask Pidgy

    Or just ask it.

    “Which renewals this month are not ready?” is a question you answer today from the diary and memory.

Illustrative data from no real brokerage

Before you let anything near a client mailbox.

You click send

Pidgy drafts. It has no permission to send on your behalf, and there is no setting that grants one.

Hosted in the EU

Data residency in the EU, scoped per mailbox, DPA on request. Export or purge whenever you want.

It never deletes

Nothing is archived, moved, marked read or thrown away. Your mailbox is exactly where you left it.

Never trains on you

Correspondence builds your lists and your drafts. It is never used to train a model, ours or anyone else's.

Questions brokers ask

What does it cost?+

Per mailbox, monthly, published when we open to everyone. The first group is free. Asking for a place costs nothing and connects nothing.

Does it bind cover or talk to insurers?+

No. It drafts, you send. Quotes, binding and claims go through the insurer and the portal exactly as they do now. Pidgy makes sure the information and the dates reach you in time.

What can it see, exactly?+

The mailboxes you connect, and only those. The broker portals, your policy administration system and anything on a laptop are invisible to it by design.

Does it read the figures in the policy schedules?+

No. It knows a schedule arrived and closes the request it belongs to. Checking it is your work and stays yours.

Does it work in Dutch and French?+

Yes. It reads mixed language mailboxes and drafts in the language of the thread, which for most brokers means Dutch to one client and French to the next.

Is client data used to train a model?+

No. Processing happens in the EU, scoped to the mailboxes you connect, under a data processing agreement we sign.

A first group, chosen by hand.

Pidgy opens to a small number of brokerages before anyone else, and we pick them ourselves. If insurance is your trade, tell us and we will be in touch.
