Sound familiar?
Common bottlenecks we hear from UK insurance brokerages.
Use Cases
Broker signs off on every client-facing output — Claude speeds the writing and comparison, humans keep the regulated judgement.
Upload 8-12 quote PDFs. Claude produces a structured comparison table (premium, cover levels, exclusions, excess, unusual terms) ready for broker review.
Feed Claude a CSV of renewals + their key changes. Personalised renewal letters per client, ready for broker sign-off.
Upload the 80-page policy wording. Claude produces the 1-page client-friendly summary covering what's in, what's out, and the excess.
Acknowledgement letters, insurer notifications, information chasers, coverage-decision explanations — all drafted from the case notes.
Client requirements + your recommended structure become a professional proposal document with cover levels, rationale, and price justification.
We work with independent commercial brokers, personal lines specialists, chartered brokers, and mixed-book brokerages from 1-person up to 40-person firms across the UK.
Example Prompt
Copy, adapt, use. Broker always reviews before presenting to client.
Attached are [N] quote schedules from different insurers for [CLIENT] — a UK [SECTOR] business seeking [POLICY TYPE] cover.
Produce a structured comparison table with these columns:
- Insurer name
- Annual premium (£)
- Excess
- Key cover limits (list the top 4-5)
- Notable inclusions vs the market baseline
- Notable exclusions or unusual conditions
- Renewal terms and cancellation notice
Then produce:
1. A one-paragraph summary highlighting the 2-3 quotes most worth presenting to the client
2. Any red flags across the quotes (uncompetitive premium, restrictive exclusions, poor claims service reputation if you know it)
3. Suggested questions to raise with the underwriter on the leading quote before binding
British English. £ currency. FCA-appropriate language. Do NOT invent details — only reference what's in the attached quote schedules.The Claudable course includes comparison, renewal, claims, and proposal templates plus voice guide setup so every doc sounds like your brokerage.

Two things UK brokers need to know before rolling out Claude across the firm.
FCA Consumer Duty requires firms to ensure client communications are clear, fair, and not misleading — and to demonstrate good outcomes. AI-assisted drafting is compatible with these requirements when the broker reviews and signs off. The pattern most compliance officers approve: Claude drafts, broker reviews, broker signs. Same workflow as with an admin support person, just faster.
On paid Claude Cowork plans, Anthropic doesn’t train on your conversations (contractual). Standard practice: redact client-identifying details (full postcodes, DOB, policy numbers where possible) before uploading. For particularly sensitive commercial cases (M&A cover, high-net-worth private client, cyber), consult your firm’s DPO before adopting the workflow at scale.
Also worth updating your privacy notice to disclose AI-assisted drafting — increasingly expected under FCA guidance and BIBA best practice.
FAQ
Can UK insurance brokers use Claude compliantly?
Yes — as a drafting and analysis tool with FCA-appropriate human sign-off. Claude summarises policy documents, drafts client renewal letters, compares quotes, and produces suitability documentation. The regulated adviser reviews and signs off any client-facing output. Under FCA Consumer Duty, human review of AI-assisted client communications is the compliance-appropriate pattern.
Can Claude compare insurance quotes across providers?
Yes. Upload multiple provider quote schedules (PDFs) and ask Claude to produce a structured comparison table covering premium, cover levels, key exclusions, excess, and any unusual terms. This turns a 90-minute manual comparison into a 5-minute output the broker reviews. Especially useful for commercial lines where 8-12 quotes may need comparing per case.
Does Claude know UK insurance regulations?
Broadly yes — Claude has working knowledge of FCA COBS/ICOBS rules, IDD requirements, Consumer Duty obligations, and standard UK insurance concepts (average clause, subrogation, indemnity principle, aggregate limits, etc.). For anything matter-critical, always verify against current FCA handbook guidance and BIBA best practice.
How do brokers use Claude for claims handling?
For the drafting burden around claims — client acknowledgement letters, insurer notification correspondence, chase letters for missing information, plain-English explanations of coverage decisions for clients. The actual claims strategy, coverage analysis, and decisions remain with qualified staff. Claude compresses the paperwork so claims handlers focus on genuinely complex cases.
