Insurance

Risk Survey & Inspection Scheduling

Conduct structured risk surveys and schedule on-site inspections for commercial or high-value residential policies — all without a field inspector making the first contact.

Why this matters

Automate claims intake, policy renewals, and customer outreach with voice agents built for regulated insurance workflows. This example shows you how to automate risk survey & inspection scheduling calls end-to-end with Guava's SDK — no telephony plumbing, no prompt engineering, just Python.

Step 01

Installation

Install from Guava's private PyPI index. A public package is coming soon — the install command will simplify to pip install guava.

terminal
# Step 1: Install Guava
pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com

# Public PyPI package coming soon — the install command will simplify to:
# pip install guava

# Step 2: Set your credentials
export GUAVA_API_KEY="..."
export GUAVA_AGENT_NUMBER="..."
Step 02

How it's built

Every Guava agent is a Python class. Walk through the key sections below, then grab the complete file at the end.

01

Imports

Import the Guava SDK and any helpers you need. guava.CallController is the base class for every voice agent.

example.py
# Install: pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com
import guava
import os

Agent setup

set_persona() defines how the agent presents itself. set_task() gives it its mission in plain English. The checklist drives the conversation — Guava works through it top-to-bottom, collecting Field values and speaking Say items as it goes.

example.py
class RiskSurveyBot(guava.CallController):
    def __init__(self, contact_name: str, property_address: str, policy_number: str):
        super().__init__()
        self.set_persona(
            organization_name="Atlas Underwriters Risk Services",
            agent_name="Blake",
        )
        self.set_task(
            objective=f"Complete risk survey for {property_address} and schedule inspection if needed",
            checklist=[
                f"Introduce yourself to {contact_name} and explain the annual risk assessment process.",
                guava.Field(
                    key="sprinkler_system",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="Does the property have a sprinkler system?",
                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="fire_alarm_monitored",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="Is the fire alarm system centrally monitored?",
                ),
                guava.Field(

                    key="inspection_availability",
                    field_type="calendar_slot",
                    description="Best time for inspector to visit",
                    required=False,

            ],
            on_complete=lambda fields: print(f"Risk survey complete for {property_address}"),
        )
