{"id":111427,"title":"Veltha: AI claims adjuster for regulated insurance","tagline":"Veltha reduces six hours of adjuster work to 10 minutes, with adjusters still making the final call","body":"**TL;DR: Veltha reads an entire claim file, flags what's missing, and applies the exact federal regulation that governs it, producing a citation-backed determination a human adjuster just signs off on. Work that took an adjuster \\~6 hours now takes \\~10 minutes.** Starting with workers' comp and crop insurance.\n\n\u003chttps://www.loom.com/share/9e9701f61bf4400890b4799fdda3d3ff\u003e\n\n**The problem**\n\n1 in 4 claims adjusters expect to retire within five years. Experienced adjusters are retiring faster than carriers can replace them, and processing capacity is now the binding constraint on growth.\n\n**What we built**\n\nVeltha is an AI claims adjuster that runs the whole file end to end:\n\n* **Triage** - reads incoming claim emails and documents, classifies them, and routes each claim to the right workflow.\n* **Gap detection** - checks the file for missing documents and records, then requests them by email, phone, or fax and runs follow-up cadences until they land.\n* **Compliance review** - applies the relevant federal rulebook, and produces a determination where **every output element is tied to a source span and a specific regulatory provision.**\n\nThe adjuster's job shifts from _doing_ the claim to _reviewing_ Veltha's output. Less chasing. Faster decisions. Output that survives an audit.\n\n**What we understand that others don't: regulation is the moat, not the obstacle.** Horizontal platforms (Guidewire, Duck Creek) and generic AI-claims startups can summarize a claim file. They can't tell you _which_ provision triggered _which_ adjustment, with citations. We treat the federal rulebook as an anchor for the workflow we embed within the organisation. That's the difference between a summary a human re-does from scratch and an output an adjuster will actually sign.\n\n**Our ask**\n\nWe'd love intros to:\n\n* **Anyone in claims at a carrier, MGA, or TPA** - especially **workers' comp**\n* **People at large self-insured employers** with claims-heavy, high-risk workforces - Companies exactly like these are who we're built for: **Disney, Marriott, Ford, PG\u0026amp;E, Caterpillar**. If you know someone at that kind of company, an intro is gold.\n\nReach us at [edin@veltha.ai](mailto:edin@veltha.ai) or ping us here.
