Agent Architecture
Understand BindPilot's autonomous agents
Agent Architecture
BindPilot's agents are autonomous AI systems that handle repetitive insurance operations without human intervention. Think of them as autopilots for your agency.
Autopilot vs. Copilot
Copilot: AI assists you (you make the final decision)
- Example: Form auto-fill, email draft suggestions
Autopilot: AI acts on your behalf (you review the result)
- Example: Auto-shop renewals, auto-respond to COI requests
BindPilot is autopilot-first. Our agents run tasks end-to-end, then notify you for review/approval.
Available Agents
| Agent | Role | Status | |-------|------|--------| | Renewal Agent | Auto-shop renewals, generate proposals | Live | | Client Service Agent | Handle COI requests, endorsement changes | Live (Basic) | | Quoting Agent | Rank quotes by win probability | Live | | Retention Agent | Score flight risk, flag at-risk accounts | Planned (Q2 2026) | | New Business Agent | Triage inbound leads, qualify prospects | Planned (Q2 2026) |
How Agents Work
1. Trigger
An agent is triggered by a condition or event:
- Renewal Agent: Expiration date reaches X days (e.g., 60)
- Client Service Agent: Incoming email with keyword "COI" or "certificate of insurance"
- Quoting Agent: Manual trigger (runs when you click "Shop All Carriers")
2. Action
The agent executes a workflow:
- Query carrier systems
- Evaluate options
- Generate documents (proposals, responses)
- Send communications (emails, notifications)
3. Result & Review
The agent notifies you of the outcome:
- Notify Only: You review the agent's work, approve or override
- Auto-Send: Agent sends the output (proposal, response); you get a notification
- Manual Approval: Agent flags for your approval before sending
4. Learning
As you override or approve agent actions, the agent learns:
- What you typically approve
- Which carriers you prefer for certain risks
- Your tone/templates for client communications
Over time, agent accuracy improves.
Configuring Agents
Each agent has tunable settings:
- Go to Settings > Agents > [Agent Name]
- Adjust:
- Enable/Disable — Turn agent on/off
- Trigger Timing — When to run (e.g., "60 days before renewal")
- Action Level — Notify only, draft for approval, or auto-send
- Thresholds — Criteria for agent decisions (e.g., "only select quotes under $X")
- Templates — Email templates, proposal designs agent uses
See Customize Agents for detailed configuration.
Agent Safety & Overrides
Safety features:
- Approval Gates: Critical actions (sending proposals, rebinding) require your approval
- Audit Trail: Every agent action is logged with reasoning
- Override: You can always override agent decisions
- Disable: Pause any agent anytime
If something goes wrong:
- Agent actions can be reversed (undo a sent email, cancel a proposal)
- Team members can intervene in real-time
- Manual process takes over
Agent Performance & Monitoring
BindPilot tracks agent performance:
- Go to Analytics > Agent Health
- View:
- Uptime — Is the agent running?
- Success Rate — % of tasks completed successfully
- Approval Rate — % of agent suggestions you approve
- Avg Task Time — How long agent takes per task
- Errors — Any failures or issues
Use this to fine-tune agent settings.
