Designed specifically for risk and insurance professionals and was developed with The National Alliance’s industry-renowned curriculum and publications. AlliBot also has access to the most often used ISO forms not available online and therefore not accessible within other AI technologies such as ChatGPT. AlliBot is closely monitored by The National Alliance’s team of Academic Directors, who are tenured professionals in their field and who actively coach AlliBot to continuously improve the accuracy of the responses the system generates.

Listen in as they talk through how this technology was made, what's it's for, and stay tuned at the end for a demonstration of what you can expect from AlliBot!
