"We’ve turned cumbersome manuals into interactive AI assistants—dramatically increasing productivity, streamlining training, and reducing compliance risks"

About First Mid Insurance

First Mid Insurance Group (FMIG) is a full-service insurance agency serving individuals, families, and businesses across the United States. Through multiple acquisitions, FMIG expanded its footprint and inherited varied workflows, systems, and training materials. Ensuring consistent training, efficient onboarding, and robust compliance across these disparate teams became increasingly challenging as the company grew.

Problem: When training documentation becomes a bottleneck

As FMIG’s operations expanded, training and onboarding strained under the weight of inconsistent materials and sprawling documentation. New employees were expected to navigate more than 200 pages of training manuals — a static, unwieldy repository that was difficult to search and apply in real time.

This fragmentation created several critical challenges:

    1. Cumbersome manuals that were hard to navigate and not conducive to learning
    2. Inconsistent workflows across axquired agencies, leading to ineffeiciences and confusion
    3. Slow onboarding causing new hires to spend excessive time searching documentation
    4. Increased compliance risk due to reliance on manual processes and outdated instructions
    5. Operational drag as managers oversaw repetitive, low-value training tasks

Without a scalable training solution, FMIG risked slowing productivity, increasing errors, and weakening compliance across critical employee workflows.

Solution: From static manuals to interactive AI guidance

Nurix deployed a custom AI-powered training assistant designed to transform FMIG’s documentation into an interactive, always-on learning companion. Rather than forcing employees to hunt through pages of text, the AI assistant provided structured, context-aware guidance on demand.

The solution blended advanced knowledge retrieval with conversational workflows tailored to FMIG’s business rules and compliance requirements.

Key workflows included:

  • Interactive onboarding support:
    Employees could ask questions and receive concise, accurate step-by-step instruction, instantly replacing static study.
  • Real-time workflow guidance:
    The assistant delivered relevant processes based on query context, surfacing procedures and policies tailored to the task at hand — no manual searching required.
  • Knowledge retrieval engine:
    Policies, standard operating procedures, and compliance rules were instantly referenced and delivered with high accuracy.
  • Escalation and compliance logging:
    Out-of-scope questions were flagged and routed to supervisors, while every interaction was logged for audit readiness.

Together, these workflows turned FMIG’s cumbersome training manuals into a dynamic, conversational training experience that was accurate, traceable, and available on demand.

Impact: Training that scales with zero friction
