Adoption is already well ahead of the curve, and the edge goes to whoever turns it into a concrete workflow first.
How much is the admin really costing you?
Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. That could drop to about 52.*

Questions insurance claims clerks ask
What if our insurance claims clerks team doesn't have any data ready?
Most don't. Getting the data into shape - ingestion, cleaning, the lightweight contracts you need before any model is useful - is part of the engagement. For AI specifically, we typically run that work on Draft and answer routine email, Move data between systems, Schedule and chase follow-ups, Generate documents from templates and assume messy starting conditions from day one.
What's the smallest engagement you'd take on?
A two-week paid discovery for Insurance Claims Clerks that aren't sure whether the build is worth doing at all. You get a one-page write-up of what we'd build, what we'd skip, and what it would cost. About 30% of those discoveries end with us recommending you don't proceed.
How fast could we have AI in production?
Eight to ten weeks for most Insurance Claims Clerks. Faster if your data is in good shape and slower if we're untangling a legacy integration first. We'll give you a realistic number on the scoping call rather than the optimistic one.
Can AI help with payday filing?
It can prepare it. Employers file employment information every payday, within 2 working days when filing electronically, and automation can have it ready for a person to check.
What happens when the Holidays Act is replaced?
The Employment Leave Act 2026 replaces it on 6 August 2028. Until then payroll follows the current Holidays Act, so leave calculations need to handle today's rules and the changeover.
