In this illuminating episode, Denise Garth is joined by Arvind Sontha, Founder and CEO at Kyber, to look at how AI transforms claims communication by turning unstructured claim notes into clear, empathetic, and compliant customer correspondence while preserving governance and auditability across workflows. They highlight how AI templates encode the best adjusters’ storytelling skills, close talent gaps, remove bottlenecks with coverage attorneys, and ultimately free humans from robotic tasks so they can deliver more human, empathetic service at scale.
