TL;DR

What did u/ObjectiveExpression3 use Gemini for?

After a travel insurance claim for an airline change fee was denied, a traveler uploaded the full policy and all the letters to Gemini, which drafted an appeal and then a targeted reply to the second denial; the claim was fully approved. About two weeks after the second reply, the insurer emailed that the claim was fully approved and the reimbursement was on its way. They say Gemini kept them objective instead of emotional by using the policy's own language.

What they did

They uploaded a PDF of the complete 26-page policy plus all correspondence to Gemini and asked whether the claim was valid under the terms. Gemini agreed it was, suggested an appeal strategy and drafted a response. When a second denial came, they uploaded it to the same thread and Gemini pointed out mischaracterizations in the insurer's reasoning and helped draft a targeted reply.

How it went

About two weeks after the second reply, the insurer emailed that the claim was fully approved and the reimbursement was on its way. They say Gemini kept them objective instead of emotional by using the policy's own language.

Worth knowing

  • It took two rounds and about seven weeks. Keep everything in one thread so the AI has the full history, and check every clause it cites against the actual policy before you send anything.
  • Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Try it yourself

Paste this into a chatbot, then add your own details underneath.

I've attached my full insurance policy and every letter between me and the insurer, including the denial. Tell me, using the exact clause numbers and wording from the policy, whether my claim is covered and why. Then draft a calm, professional appeal that answers each reason they gave for denying it.
