- Before
- Takes 38–45 home and auto calls a day with five screens open: “I know the answer is in there somewhere — I just can’t find it while she’s talking.”
- Now
- Hears the question, sees the events behind it and the clause from the customer’s own form, says the answer in plain words, and confirms notes that are already written.
One service call, from hello to notes saved
Thursday 15 October, 10:14. Leah Brannigan calls Wrenfield Mutual about a letter saying her home policy will be cancelled. Jordan Pike takes the call. Here is what happens next, screen by screen, in the working solution.

“I got a letter saying my home policy is going to be cancelled”
Jordan Pike · Service representativeLeah is verified by date of birth and address at 0:15. When she asks about the letter, the listener marks it Q1 and the policy story lights the four events behind it: autopay declined on 28 September, an email that was never opened, the notice of cancellation mailed 2 October and the date the policy would cancel. The answer is on screen with its sources — the billing history, notice WM-NC-12 and the cancellation condition on page 31.
Say: “Your autopay card ending 4417 expired in September, so the 28 September payment of $206.50 was declined. Pay it today and the policy stays in force with no gap.”
- 021:14 – 1:52
The payment taken, the card number never heard
Call listenerLeah reads her new card number. Transcription pauses for those 38 seconds and the transcript shows the band where it stopped. At 1:53 the answer reads “Resolved 1:53 · $206.50 paid · conf. 88213-B”, autopay moves to the card ending 8806, and the timeline shows the cancellation withdrawn.
“Transcription paused 1:14 – 1:52 · card number and security code read aloud · not recorded, not stored”

“Why did it go up so much in June?”
Coverage answererQ2 lights the 2025 and 2026 renewals and the 18 June call. The answer gives the two reasons for the $258 increase — Michigan home rates up 5.5% ($121) and the inflation guard raising the dwelling limit 6% to $436,700 ($137) — with the renewal premium worksheet open beside it. It also says what went wrong last time: on 18 June she was told only “rates went up”.
Margin note on the worksheet: “Two reasons only. Nothing about the Brannigans’ home or claims changed the price.”

A stolen laptop, answered from the Brannigans’ own form
Coverage answererQ3: her son Owen’s laptop was stolen from his dorm. The answer comes from their homeowners form, WM HO 03 07 24: Owen is an insured as a full-time student under 24 who lived at home before school, and property at another residence is covered up to 10% of Coverage C — $21,835 — with the $1,000 deductible. Page 5 opens with the clause highlighted. Jordan starts the claim report.
The answer never says the loss is covered: “The adjuster decides the claim.”

“We just bought a boat”
Life-event checkerLeah mentions a 21-foot bowrider with a 150-horse outboard. A life-event card slides in with the gap in today’s cover: the home policy pays at most $1,500 for the boat, and there is no liability on the water for an owned outboard over 25 hp unless it is reported within 45 days — by 23 November. Every eligibility rule for the boat policy is already checked: length, horsepower, value, five years claim-free, operator, navigation, marketing consent, and the reason for the call resolved first.

A pre-filled quote, sent for e-signature from the call
Jordan Pike · Service representativeOne click opens boat quote BW-26-55120, pre-filled from the call and the household record: agreed value $46,900, liability $300,000, uninsured boater $100,000, $500 deductible, Long Lake and Grand Traverse Bay within 5 miles. With the 10% multi-policy discount it is $372 a year, $31 a month. Jordan sends the application to Leah for e-signature, effective Friday 16 October at 12:01 a.m. once signed.

The call ends with the notes already written
Call notes writerThe after-call run shows three agents and seven steps: transcript closed, three questions and one life event found, payment matched to billing, claim report CLM-26-118407 drafted, boat application tracked, notes and disposition written — and the last step waits for Jordan. Four follow-ups wait — two done or sent on the call, two that send when Jordan saves. This call: 5:22 talking and 0:41 on notes, against a center average of 11:40 and 4:30.
“Waiting for Jordan to confirm — nothing is written to the account until you save.”
- 08Next time
The next person starts where Jordan left off
Policy story builderThe household’s policy story now carries the call: the payment of $206.50 and autopay on the new card, the police report for Owen’s laptop and claim report, the boat bought on 9 October and the application sent. If Leah calls again, the first line reads “Paid 15 Oct after an expired card; renewal increase explained (rate +$121, dwelling limit +$137); laptop claim CLM-26-118407 open; boat application sent — check the signature.”

The floor, with the calls that need help first
Alicia Tran · Contact center supervisorAlicia watches 12 live calls on her team, each with talk time, a caller-mood line and what the assistant is showing. Robert Kline’s call with Tasha Greer is at 14:52 with complaint words — “third time I’ve called”, “speak to a manager”. Malik Osei has been silent for 48 seconds looking for an additional insured endorsement. New hire Ana Ruiz has a coverage answer she has not used.
“The assistant flags a call; the supervisor decides whether to join.”
- 10Same day
Every call checked, not a 2% sample
Devon Shaw · Quality analystSo far that day, 1,906 calls have been checked against the same list: recording notice, identity before account details, card details never recorded, coverage answers tied to a clause, notes confirmed within 2 minutes, life-event guards followed. Devon sees Ana Ruiz’s hail call, where the answer with its clause was not used and she said “should be covered”, and sends it to coaching.
