Implementation of an AI-Powered Claims Processing and Customer Support System for Automating Flight Compensation Services

Managing over 25,000 flight compensation claims annually, with around 10,000 processed per year, presents significant operational challenges. Tasks such as categorizing claims, responding to customer inquiries, extracting data from legal and travel documents, and handling external data sources are time-consuming and prone to delays. This results in increased workload for staff, delayed responses to customers, and difficulty scaling operations efficiently.
