Warranty Claim AI

The Problem

Manual warranty claim processing is slow, error-prone, and expensive. Customers submit incomplete forms. Staff spend hours chasing missing information. Product data lives in spreadsheets that never sync with your claims system. Processing costs per claim range from $25 to $500, and that overhead compounds at scale.

The result is delayed resolutions, frustrated customers, and a claims team buried in admin work that should not exist.

The Solution

WarrantyAssist AI is a conversational AI agent built entirely on Microsoft Azure. It automates the end-to-end warranty claim intake process through a webchat interface that can be embedded on any website or customer portal.

The agent is powered by Azure OpenAI (GPT-5x) and uses a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture built on Azure AI Search. During claim submission, the agent cross-references the customer's product details against your warranty and product data, which is indexed directly from a CSV you upload and manage. No custom development required per product category.

The full Azure service stack:

• Azure OpenAI (GPT-5x): Powers the conversational agent. Guides the customer through claim submission using natural language, handles ambiguous responses, and validates inputs in real time.
• Azure AI Search: Indexes your product and warranty data. The agent queries this index to validate warranty eligibility during the claim conversation.
• Azure App Service: Hosts the webchat frontend and API backend with auto-scaling enabled.
• Azure SQL Database: Stores all submitted claim records with full field capture and claim status.
• Azure Blob Storage: Stores customer-uploaded product images, linked to the corresponding claim record.
• Azure Cosmos DB: Manages transient conversation state per session. No conversation data is retained beyond session completion by default.
• Azure Key Vault: Stores all secrets, API keys, and connection strings.
• Azure Entra ID: Secures the claims management portal. No login required for claim submission.
• Application Insights: Provides full telemetry, error logging, and usage monitoring. 

The entire solution is deployed into your Azure subscription using a single ARM template. Your data never leaves your tenant.

How It Works 

1. A customer opens the webchat widget and starts a conversation.
2. The agent collects customer details, product information, issue description, and defect type through guided natural language prompts.
3. The customer optionally uploads images of the defective product.
4. The agent validates warranty eligibility against your indexed product data and communicates the outcome in plain language.
5. The customer reviews a full summary and confirms submission.
6. The claim is written to your Azure SQL database and a reference number is issued.
7. Your claims team reviews, filters, and exports claims via a secure web portal protected by Entra ID.
