AI-Powered Claims Assessment Reference Architecture for Insurance
This architecture illustrates how insurers can automate claims processing by using AI to analyze documents, images and structured data to enable business teams to accelerate claim settlements, enhance fraud detection and improve accuracy.

Data flows
The following are descriptions of the data flows shown in the AI-Powered Claims Assessment Reference Architecture diagram:
- Capture structured and unstructured claims data from Guidewire, as well as telemetry and third-party sources such as documents, images and adjuster notes.
- Use Databricks Auto Loader to ingest data efficiently into Delta Lake, applying the medallion architecture to separate raw (Bronze), refined (Silver) and business-ready (Gold) data layers.
- Utilize Spark Declarative Pipelines to cleanse, enrich and unify data, performing claims classification and business rule enforcement to support accurate claims profiling.
- Leverage Databricks SQL to run analytical queries over curated claims datasets, enabling dashboards and operational insights for claims lifecycle, risk scoring and fraud patterns.
- Implement GenAI workflows including retrieval augmented generation (RAG), similarity search over embeddings and LLM-based Model Serving for intelligent claims triage, document Q&A and automated summarization.
- Build interactive dashboards and enable natural language querying and present with Databricks Apps, allowing claims teams to explore data and insights intuitively and securely.
Benefits
Benefits of using the Databricks Platform for the AI-powered claims architecture include the following:
