AI Agents & Video

Insurance AI Agents & Video

Insurance claims generate massive amounts of video — dashcam footage, property damage documentation, injury evidence, fraud investigation recordings. AI agents can process this video at scale, accelerating claims and detecting fraud.

Insurance Video Use Cases

Claims Processing

  • Damage assessment: Automatically evaluate vehicle/property damage severity
  • Liability determination: Analyze accident footage to assess fault
  • Documentation verification: Ensure claim documentation is complete

Fraud Detection

  • Staged accidents: Detect patterns consistent with fraud
  • Exaggerated damage: Compare damage to incident description
  • Identity verification: Confirm claimant identity from video

Underwriting

  • Property assessment: Evaluate property condition from video
  • Risk identification: Spot hazards and risk factors

Claims Processing Agent

class ClaimsAgent:
    async def process_claim(self, claim_id: str, videos: List[str]) -> ClaimAnalysis:
        # 1. Enhance all claim videos
        enhanced_videos = await asyncio.gather(*[
            bettervideo.enhance(v) for v in videos
        ])

        # 2. Extract relevant frames
        frames = []
        for video in enhanced_videos:
            frames.extend(extract_damage_frames(video))

        # 3. Analyze damage
        damage_analysis = await self.analyze_damage(frames)

        # 4. Estimate severity and cost
        estimate = await self.estimate_repair_cost(damage_analysis)

        # 5. Check for fraud indicators
        fraud_score = await self.fraud_check(
            videos=enhanced_videos,
            damage=damage_analysis,
            claim_details=get_claim(claim_id)
        )

        return ClaimAnalysis(
            damage=damage_analysis,
            estimate=estimate,
            fraud_score=fraud_score,
            recommendation=self.get_recommendation(estimate, fraud_score)
        )

Fraud Detection Patterns

AI agents can detect fraud patterns humans might miss:

Video Analysis Signals

  • Pre-existing damage: Damage visible before incident timestamp
  • Inconsistent lighting: Suggests edited or composite video
  • Metadata anomalies: GPS, timestamp, or device inconsistencies
  • Staged behavior: Unusual positioning or movement patterns

Cross-Reference Signals

  • Repeat claimants: Same faces in multiple claims
  • Repeat vehicles: Same vehicle in different claims
  • Location patterns: Claims clustered in fraud-prone areas
async def fraud_check(self, video: str, claim: Claim) -> FraudScore:
    # Extract faces and vehicles
    faces = await self.extract_faces(video)
    vehicles = await self.extract_vehicles(video)

    # Check against fraud database
    face_matches = await self.fraud_db.search_faces(faces)
    vehicle_matches = await self.fraud_db.search_vehicles(vehicles)

    # Analyze video authenticity
    authenticity = await self.verify_authenticity(video)

    # Check claim consistency
    consistency = await self.check_consistency(video, claim)

    return FraudScore(
        face_matches=face_matches,
        vehicle_matches=vehicle_matches,
        authenticity=authenticity,
        consistency=consistency
    )

Privacy Considerations

Claims video contains sensitive personal information:

  • Claimant faces and identities
  • Medical information (injury videos)
  • Property interiors
  • License plates and addresses

Use privacy-first processing:

  • Zero-retention: Don't store video beyond processing
  • No training: Never train on claimant data
  • Access controls: Strict need-to-know access
  • Audit trails: Log all video access

BetterVideo provides these guarantees by default.

Frequently Asked Questions

For straightforward claims with clear evidence, yes. For complex or high-value claims, agents provide analysis and recommendations for human adjusters.

Enhancement (BetterVideo) is critical. Dashcam video is often low-resolution and compressed. Enhancement recovers detail needed for accurate analysis.

Ensure audit trails for all video processing. Use zero-retention APIs to avoid data retention issues. Document agent decision factors for regulatory review.
