ClaimTrackr

AI Insurance Claim Automation (RAG + LLM)

Automates insurance claim processing using Retrieval-Augmented Generation over BUPA policy documents. Users upload a medical bill or state a claim, and the system retrieves relevant policy sections, validates against exclusion lists, and returns an approval or rejection recommendation in seconds.

  • RAG pipeline over 4 BUPA policy PDFs indexed into FAISS with 4,821 chunks for grounded retrieval.
  • AI claim validation checks general exclusions, coverage limits, and co-payment requirements before generating an executive summary.

Web Scraping RAG Chatbot for E-commerce Q&A

Scrapes e-commerce product pages and company documents into a live FAISS knowledge base, then powers a conversational chatbot that answers customer questions grounded in the scraped data instead of hallucinating.

  • BeautifulSoup scraping pipeline exports product pages to PDF/DOCX and indexes them into a 3,241-chunk FAISS store.
  • History-aware retrieval via LangChain's create_history_aware_retriever keeps multi-turn conversations grounded in context.
