# How to Upload a Policy PDF and Get AI Analysis in 90 Seconds: Step-by-Step Guide

## TL;DR

AI Policy Analyzer processes any insurance policy PDF in under 2 minutes, extracting coverage data and generating Strengths/Shortcomings/Be Aware reports — enabling agents to review 8x more policies per day.

## Key data points

- AI policy analysis: under 2 minutes vs. 45-60 minutes manual (8x throughput)
- AI flags 8-12 items per policy vs. 3-5 for manual reviewers
- 400-policy book review: 847 actionable items found, $94,000 in new premium generated

<h2 data-ai-block="definitive-answer">The Short Answer</h2>
<p>AI Policy Analyzer accepts <strong>any insurance policy PDF</strong> — life, annuity, health, or supplemental — and delivers a structured analysis in under 2 minutes. The AI reads every page, extracts coverage details, premiums, riders, exclusions, and limitations, then generates a report organized into <strong>Strengths</strong> (what's working), <strong>Shortcomings</strong> (what's missing or weak), and <strong>Be Aware</strong> (items requiring attention). Agents using AI analysis review <strong>8x more policies per day</strong> than manual reviewers.</p>

<h2>The Upload Workflow</h2>
<ol>
<li><strong>Open any contact record</strong> — navigate to the Policy Analyzer tab</li>
<li><strong>Upload the PDF</strong> — drag and drop or browse. Supports policies from all major carriers</li>
<li><strong>AI processes</strong> — OCR extracts text, AI identifies policy type and structure (60-90 seconds)</li>
<li><strong>Review the report</strong> — Strengths, Shortcomings, and Be Aware items with specific citations</li>
<li><strong>Take action</strong> — one-click to generate replacement comparison, schedule review call, or save to contact record</li>
</ol>

<h2>What AI Extracts Automatically</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Coverage amounts</strong> — death benefit, cash value, account value</li>
<li><strong>Premium details</strong> — planned premium, target, maximum, payment mode</li>
<li><strong>Riders and benefits</strong> — living benefits, waiver of premium, accelerated death benefit</li>
<li><strong>Exclusions and limitations</strong> — suicide clause, contestability period, war/aviation exclusions</li>
<li><strong>Performance metrics</strong> — crediting rates, cap rates, participation rates, spread</li>
<li><strong>Surrender schedule</strong> — remaining charges, free withdrawal provisions</li>
</ul>

<h2 data-ai-block="experience-insight">Volume Review Results</h2>
<p>An agency ran AI analysis on their entire 400-policy book of business over 2 weeks.

Of those, 312 were replacement opportunities and 189 were cross-sell gaps. The review generated <strong>$94,000 in new premium</strong> from existing clients in the following quarter.</p>
