As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly check the exclusions in your insurance policy.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

If this goes wrong, you may assume a claim is excluded or covered and lose time or money before the insurer or a professional corrects the interpretation.

How to actually do it
- Open the policy wording, policy schedule, certificate, endorsements, renewal documents and any pages referred to by the policy, and keep the complete versions together.
- Remove unrelated personal information where possible, then upload or paste the documents into an AI tool and use the supplied prompt with a factual description of the event.
- Ask the tool to produce its list of exclusions, limitations, conditions, excesses and missing documents, with exact quotations and page or section references.
- Open the original policy documents and compare every quotation, definition, endorsement and page reference against the source wording.
- Mark any item where the AI has inferred facts, missed a cross-reference or confused an exclusion with a condition, excess, limit or notification requirement.
- Send the checked list and the AI's questions to your insurer or broker, asking for written confirmation of whether the relevant wording applies.
- For a rejected, high-value or disputed claim, take the policy and the insurer's response to an insurance adviser or solicitor before relying on the interpretation.
Prompt
I want a document check, not a coverage decision. Analyse the insurance documents I paste or upload for a UK policy. Policy type: [for example, home, motor, travel or business] What happened or what am I worried about: [brief factual description] Relevant dates and amounts: [insert only what is necessary] First, list every exclusion, limitation, condition and excess that could relate to my situation. For each item: 1. Quote the exact wording and identify the document and page or section. 2. Explain the wording in plain English without adding facts that are not in the documents. 3. Say what fact would make it relevant or irrelevant, and mark any uncertainty. 4. Check related definitions, endorsements, schedules, extensions and conditions elsewhere in the documents. 5. Distinguish an exclusion from a condition, excess, notification requirement or limit. Do not say that a claim is definitely covered or definitely rejected. Do not infer missing wording. State clearly if any document appears to be missing, unreadable or inconsistent. Finish with a short list of precise questions to send to the insurer or broker, including a request for written confirmation of how the relevant clause applies. This is not professional advice.

What it gets wrong
- AI cannot decide reliably how ambiguous wording applies to the full facts of your claim.
- AI cannot know whether the documents you supplied are the complete contract, including every endorsement and later amendment.
- AI cannot confirm that an insurer will accept or reject your claim.
- AI does not carry responsibility if its interpretation causes you to miss a notification deadline or abandon a valid claim.
- AI cannot replace an insurance adviser or solicitor in a serious coverage dispute.
What caps this at PARTLY: judgement under ambiguity, legal accountability and stakes of error.

FAQ
- Can AI read my insurance policy exclusions?
- Yes, it can find and summarise exclusion clauses if you provide the full policy documents. It cannot reliably decide how an ambiguous exclusion applies to your particular claim, so compare its quotations with the source and ask the insurer or broker for written confirmation.
- Can ChatGPT tell me if my insurance claim is covered?
- It can identify wording that may affect the claim, but it should not give you a definite coverage decision. This is not professional advice, and a serious dispute should go to your insurer or broker and, where necessary, a solicitor.
- What documents do I need to give AI to check an insurance policy?
- Provide the complete policy wording, policy schedule, certificate, endorsements, renewal documents and any referenced terms. Do not rely on a summary or a single page, because the relevant definition, condition or limit may appear elsewhere.
- Should I trust an AI summary of my insurance policy?
- Use it as a document-finding and plain-English aid, not as the final answer on a claim. Check every quotation against the policy and obtain written confirmation from the insurer or broker before relying on an interpretation.
