Handoff rules
Your limits, written once
Decide which topics Porchlight answers, which it drafts for approval, and which always go to a person. Rules read like sentences, and every handoff says which one it followed.
- Route by topic, order value or customer history
- Dollar limits on refunds, parts and fee waivers
- A confidence line per topic, from 0 to 100
Damage claims
Reads the claim before a person does
Porchlight asks for the wide shot and the angled one, sorts the damage into your warranty’s categories and pulls the clause. Then it stops, and a teammate decides.
- Finish, structural, transit or not covered
- Transit claims flagged with the days left to file
- Never approves a refund or a replacement

Support leads, a season in
Read the customer stories-
Customers used to email three times before the truck showed up. Now they get the window in under a minute, and my team works the claims that need a person.
