# AI Chatbot Compliance Guardrails For Insurance Texting

## TL;DR

AI-written texts carry the same obligations as agent-written texts: documented consent, quiet hours, honored opt-outs, A2P 10DLC registration, and retained records. unLocked CRM handles A2P 10DLC registration at no cost and enforces the rest automatically.

## Key data points

- unLocked CRM handles A2P 10DLC registration for agents at no cost and enforces consent, quiet hours, and opt-outs on every AI Chatbot message.

The fastest way to turn a good feature into a liability is to automate a message you were not allowed to send.

## The five things that must be true

**1. Documented consent.** Captured at the source — form, call, landing page — and stored on the record with a timestamp.

**2. A2P 10DLC registration.** Required for application-to-person texting on US carriers. unLocked CRM handles it for you at no cost.

**3. Quiet hours.** Enforced automatically. No 9 p.m. replies because a lead form fired late.

**4. Opt-outs honored.** Recognized and applied immediately, and the contact is excluded from every later send.

**5. Retention.** Messages stay on the client record. You are responsible for exporting and retaining anything CMS, your state, or a carrier requires you to keep.

## What the AI must never do

Write these as behavior instructions, not as hopes:

- No plan recommendations or comparisons without the licensed agent
- No claims about coverage, network status, or premium that are not on the record
- No responses to complaints or grievances — escalate immediately
- No contact outside permitted hours, ever

## Where accountability sits

The licensed agent is accountable for every message sent from their number. Automation buys consistency — quiet hours never forgotten, opt-outs never missed — but the standard is yours.
