General

What is Brelly?

Brelly is a claims workspace built for property insurance claims. It combines file organization, estimate analysis, financial tracking, timelines, and AI-powered assistance so you can manage claims more clearly and move them forward faster.

Who is Brelly for?

Brelly is built for the people doing the real work inside a claim:

Public adjusters managing claim strategy, documentation, supplements, and rebuttals Contractors comparing scopes, documenting discrepancies, and supporting supplements Policyholders organizing claim files and understanding what's happening in their claim Attorneys preparing evidence files, exhibits, summaries, and supporting claim documentation

What makes Brelly different from other claims tools?

Brelly works from your actual claim, not just a generic template.

When you upload files, import estimates, and build out a claim, Brelly uses that real context to help you organize claim information in one place, compare estimate line items, track what has been requested, approved, and paid, generate summaries, letters, and reports, and keep the full claim story easier to follow.

Does Brelly replace public adjusters, contractors, or attorneys?

Brelly supports your work and does not replace professional judgment.

Think of it as a serious AI assistant for claims. It helps with analysis, organization, summaries, and drafts so you can focus on strategy, advocacy, and decision-making.


Login and Access

How do I log in or access my Brelly account?

If you are a new user, you will receive a welcome email from [email protected] or an invitation email if you're a team member from [email protected] with a secure link from to get started. After creating your account and verifying your identity, you can log in and access your workspace.

If you were invited by a team admin, make sure you are using the same email address the invitation was sent to.

I can't find my welcome or invitation email. What should I do?

First, check your inbox and spam folder if you're the organization admin signing up for the first time.

If you're a team member being invited to an organization, you should confirm the correct email address with their organization admin, check spam, etc. For any other issues, owners can contact Brelly support to have the email resent.


Account and Organization

How many users can I have under one account?

For the Solo Workspace subscription you can have up to 1 total user.
For Teams - your Brelly subscription includes up to 5 total users in your organization, the primary account holder plus up to 4 additional team members.

If you need more than 5 users, contact Brelly support to discuss adding additional seats.

How do I view or change my subscription?

For billing questions, plan updates, or subscription changes, contact Brelly support through chat or email.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Contact Brelly support. Your data remains accessible through the end of your current billing period unless told otherwise.

How do I add team members?

Go to Settings > Organizations, open your organization, and invite team members by email.

For full setup instructions, see the organization setup article.

What is the difference between Personal and Organization workspaces?

A Personal workspace is visible only to you. An Organization workspace is shared with your team.

If you are collaborating with other users, it is usually best to work inside the organization workspace.

Can I create separate spaces for different adjusters or teams?

Yes. Brelly supports multiple organizations, which lets you keep claims, files, and users separate when needed.

How do I move a claim into my organization?

Open the claim settings and update the organization assignment. That moves the claim and its related work into the organization workspace.


Files and Documents

What file types does Brelly support?

Brelly supports common claim document formats, including PDF, DOC, and DOCX in Files.

For estimate import and line-item extraction in Financials, PDF is the standard format.

What is the maximum file size?

The maximum file size is 100 MB.

Where should I upload claim documents?

Upload claim documents in Files.

Files are the source material Brelly uses to understand your claim, extract data, build timelines, and answer claim-specific questions.

Can I upload documents directly into Brelly Co-Pilot?

The best workflow is to upload files in Files first, let them process, and then ask Brelly Co-Pilot to use those files or your claim data or use the Update Claim Data flow.

Why does my document say "Processing"?

Processing means Brelly is reading and preparing the file so it can be used in your claim.

Most files finish quickly, but large or more complex files can take longer.

What should I do if a document shows "Failed"?

Try re-saving the file as a clean PDF and uploading it again.

If the file still fails, contact support.

Can Brelly read locked, scanned, or difficult PDFs?

Sometimes, yes, but results depend on the file.

If a file will not process cleanly, re-save it as a new PDF or use a cleaner version when possible.

Where did the Documents section go?

You can find Claim Files in the left sidebar inside any claim.

If you are looking for your organization's shared document library, files that are accessible across your whole team live in Settings > Files. That is where you can store and manage documents that are not specific to a single claim.


Estimates and Financials

What is the difference between uploading an estimate to Files vs importing it through Financials?

Uploading an estimate to Files makes it available as part of your claim record.

Importing it through Financials extracts structured line-item data so Brelly can help with comparison, reconciliation, and financial tracking.

If you want estimate analysis, import it through Financials.

What is Financials?

Financials is where you track and compare what has been requested, approved, and paid on a claim.

It helps you import estimates, compare carrier and policyholder or contractor scopes, reconcile line items, track contents, expenses, and payments, and understand the remaining financial gap.

What is the Reconcile view?

The Reconcile view helps you compare estimate data side by side so you can understand where the claim stands and where the biggest gaps are.

What are coverage buckets?

Coverage buckets help map estimate categories to policy coverage areas so you can track how amounts align with the structure of the claim.

Can Brelly read Xactimate files?

Brelly reads Xactimate estimate PDFs. Import them through Financials for line-item extraction and comparison.

Does Brelly write estimates in Xactimate or Symbility?

Brelly does not replace estimating software. It helps you analyze estimate PDFs, compare scopes, identify missing or disputed items, and draft the communication and support documents around the estimate.


Brelly Co-Pilot

What is Brelly Co-Pilot?

Brelly Co-Pilot is Brelly's AI assistant inside your claim workspace.

It works from your claim data, including files, notes, estimate data, timeline, contacts, and more, to help you answer questions, generate drafts, summarize information, and move work forward faster.

What can Brelly Co-Pilot help with?

Brelly Co-Pilot is built to handle the real work inside a claim. It can read and summarize your uploaded documents, answer questions about policy language, coverage, and claim details, compare carrier and contractor estimates line by line, identify discrepancies and missing items, draft letters, emails, demand letters, and reports, suggest next steps based on where your claim stands, update claim data and timelines, and work across connected integrations like Gmail, Outlook, and AccuLynx when those are set up.

The more organized your claim is, the more Co-Pilot can do. Upload your files, build out your claim, and Co-Pilot will work from that context to give you accurate, useful responses.

What is the difference between Brelly Co-Pilot and Fin?

Brelly Co-Pilot is your AI assistant inside the claim workspace. It knows your claim, your files, your estimates, and your data. Use it for anything related to working a claim — analysis, drafting, research, comparisons, and next steps.

Fin is the support assistant you are talking to right now. Fin handles product questions, helps you navigate the platform, troubleshoot issues, and find the right resources. Fin does not have access to your claim data.

A simple way to think about it: Co-Pilot works your claim, Fin helps you use Brelly.

Can Brelly Co-Pilot use Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, or Google Sheets?

Yes, when those integrations are connected and you explicitly ask it to use them.

By default, Brelly Co-Pilot works inside your claim. If you want it to act in a connected tool, say so clearly in your prompt.

Is Brelly Co-Pilot always accurate?

No AI tool is perfect, and important claim decisions should always be reviewed by a professional.

Brelly Co-Pilot is designed to be highly useful, especially when your claim is well organized, but you should still verify important facts, figures, and final communications.

Can Brelly Co-Pilot draft legal or carrier-facing documents?

It can draft letters, summaries, emails, and other claim-related documents for your review.

You should always review and approve the final version before using it professionally and ensure adherence to laws and regulations.

Can I use voice or a microphone with Brelly Co-Pilot?

The voice input mic button works with a single click to start recording and another click to stop. You may notice a short processing step before the text appears.


Timeline

Can Brelly build my claim timeline?

Yes. Brelly can help generate and update a timeline based on your uploaded files, claim activity, and related data inside the claim by using the Update Claim Data flow inside Brelly Co-Pilot.

Do I have to build the timeline manually?

Not always. Many users upload files first and let Brelly help build the initial timeline using the Update Claim Data flow inside Brelly Co-Pilot., then edit or add to it as needed.


Privacy and Security

Is my claim data secure?

Yes. Your claim data is private to your account and organization. Only users you have invited to your organization can access your claims, files, and work product. Brelly does not share your data with carriers, third parties, or anyone outside your workspace.

Can I export my data?

Troubleshooting

Brelly Co-Pilot is not responding. What should I do?

Start by doing a hard refresh in your browser. On Mac, hold Shift and press Command + R. On Windows, hold Shift and press Ctrl + R. Then try starting a new conversation in Co-Pilot.

If Co-Pilot is still not responding, it is possible the current conversation has reached its context limit. Starting a fresh thread usually resolves this. You can always reference your previous conversation or pick up where you left off in the new thread.

If everything looks fine and the issue continues, check that your documents have finished processing. Co-Pilot works best when your files are fully loaded into the claim. If the issue persists, open the support chat and we will take a look.

My files are not processing. What should I do?

First check the file status. If it still shows Processing, give it a few more minutes as larger or more complex files can take longer. If it shows Failed, try re-saving the file as a clean PDF and uploading it again.

If the file continues to fail, it may be locked, scanned, or corrupted. Try opening it, printing it to a new PDF, and re-uploading that version. If you are still having trouble, contact support through the chat and we can help troubleshoot.

I cannot find my claims or files. What should I do?

First check that you are in the right workspace. Brelly has both Personal and Organization workspaces, and claims or files created in one will not appear in the other. Toggle between your workspaces to see if what you are looking for is there.

If you still cannot find it, open the support chat and we can help locate it.
