But delivering that support at scale can be an operational challenge\. Catastrophe events are capable of generating more than 100,000 claims in just days—last year, Travelers handled more than 1\.5 million claims and paid more than $23 billion in losses\. To help manage these surges while improving the customer experience, Travelers built the AI Claim Assistant, a fully autonomous voice solution powered by OpenAI Realtime API and frontier models\. The assistant uses natural conversation to guide customers through first notice of loss for auto property damage claims, answering policy questions, gathering details, and submitting claims\.
