Insurance Policy Explainer
Understand What Your Insurance Policy Actually Excludes
Paste your policy and get coverage and exclusions explained in plain language — then ask cross-clause questions in chat before you assume something is or isn't covered.
Read this first
A comprehension aid, not insurance or legal advice
This explains what your policy's language says — it does not predict whether a specific claim will be paid, and it does not replace your insurer, an adjuster, or a licensed advisor for a real decision. Treat every explanation as a first pass to verify, not a final answer.
See the difference
Three common exclusion clauses, in the insurer's own language, and what they actually mean for you.
Who this insurance-policy reader helps
- New policyholders
- A 30-page auto or home policy PDF arrives with dense exclusion clauses you're expected to understand before you need to claim.
- A structured, plain-language summary of coverage and exclusions, plus follow-up questions in chat about any specific clause.
- Renewal shoppers
- Comparing two renewal quotes means reading two dense documents to spot what actually changed in the exclusions.
- Summarize each policy separately and ask targeted questions about the clauses that differ.
- Anyone about to file a claim
- You want to know whether a specific situation is covered before you spend time filing a claim that gets denied.
- Ask the specific exclusion question directly — then treat the answer as a first pass and confirm with your insurer before relying on it.

What's live
Comprehension aid, not insurance or legal advice
This explains what a policy says in plain language. It does not tell you whether a specific claim will be approved, does not replace reading the policy yourself, and is not a substitute for asking your insurer or a licensed advisor about a real claim decision.
Single-document analysis
Today the flow reads and questions one policy PDF at a time — there's no built-in side-by-side comparison across two policy documents in one pass. Run each policy separately and compare the summaries yourself.
Long documents go to the long-context model automatically
Pasted policy text long enough to need it is routed to VUST Long (Gemini 3.1 Pro) by the chat's own task-type detection; Pro/Max users get VUST Max (Claude Opus 4.8) as a deeper high-stakes option for the riskiest clauses.
Frequently asked questions
Can it tell me if my specific claim will be approved?
No. This explains what your policy's language says in plain terms — it does not predict or guarantee a claims decision. Actual claim outcomes depend on your insurer's adjusters, the specific facts of the loss, and details this tool can't verify. Treat the explanation as a first pass, then confirm with your insurer before relying on it.
Does it compare my policy against a better one, or tell me if I'm underinsured?
Not as a built-in feature. It explains the coverage and exclusions in the document you give it — it doesn't shop the market, score your coverage adequacy, or compare you against a different insurer's terms.
Can it read a scanned or photographed policy page?
The flow is built around pasted or uploaded document text, the same PDF handling used across VUST's document analysis (up to 50 pages). A clean PDF with selectable text works most reliably; a low-quality photo of a printed page may not extract cleanly.
What if my policy is longer than 50 pages?
Very long documents get a truncation notice so you know what was actually included in the summary — paste the exclusions and definitions sections specifically if the full document is too long, since those carry most of the practical detail.
Is this the same as the general Document Analysis page?
It uses the same underlying summary-and-chat flow, scoped specifically to insurance policy language — coverage, exclusions, and endorsements — with examples and questions built around real policy clauses rather than generic long-PDF use cases.
Should I use this before filing a claim?
It's reasonable to use it to understand your policy's language before a conversation with your insurer or an adjuster — so you know what to ask about. It is not a substitute for that conversation, and it is not legal or insurance advice for your specific situation.
