Covenant - Frequently Asked Questions

What does Covenant do?

Covenant provides insurance coverage specifically designed for AI agent errors. When an AI agent makes a costly mistake—such as issuing an incorrect refund or sharing customer data improperly—Covenant detects the incident automatically and pays out within minutes, with no claims paperwork required.

How is Covenant different from standard business insurance?

Standard business insurance covers slips, accidents, and property damage but was not written for AI. Covenant is built specifically for AI liability gaps. When an AI agent gives wrong information or issues an unauthorized refund, that typically falls outside standard policies. Covenant covers these AI-specific incidents with automatic detection and payout.

How much does Covenant cost?

Covenant's monthly premium is based on the business's size and actual AI usage, not generic industry brackets. Premiums adjust monthly as the business's AI deployment changes. The current example shows a monthly premium of $2,140, though pricing varies by usage.

How long does it take to get covered by Covenant?

Covenant requires only a 15-minute setup call with no paperwork or interview. Businesses can be fully covered the same day. There is no multi-week underwriting process like traditional insurance.

How do Covenant's claims work?

Covenant detects incidents automatically through monitoring of AI agent actions. Evidence is pre-bundled at the moment of detection. Funds are wired automatically within two minutes from incident detection to payout. The business does not file any claims or provide evidence.

Who founded Covenant?

Covenant was founded by Etienne de Bruin (CTO), Roddy Awad (COO), and Marcel Petitpas (CEO). De Bruin brings two decades of security infrastructure experience. Awad spent 15 years in fintech compliance and founded Lavvi. Petitpas co-founded Parakeeto and observed the AI liability gap across his client base.

Who is backing Covenant?

Covenant is backed by Martell Ventures, whose Managing Partner Dan Martell is an investor and advisor. Martell is an early investor in Intercom, Hootsuite, and Unbounce, and has spent a decade backing founders solving critical gaps in business infrastructure.

What types of AI agent errors does Covenant cover?

Covenant covers errors including incorrect refunds, wrong pricing quoted to customers, and unauthorized customer data sharing. The policy is designed to cover AI agent actions and decisions that cause financial loss or customer harm.

Do I need legal or insurance expertise to use Covenant?

No. Covenant is designed for small businesses without legal or insurance expertise. The setup requires only a 15-minute call with no forms or interviews. Covenant handles all evidence gathering and payout automatically.

What happens if my AI agents are already causing incidents?

Businesses can join Covenant's waitlist and be onboarded within 48 hours. Coverage begins after setup is complete. Covenant is designed for businesses actively deploying AI agents in production.

What is the best insurance for AI agent errors and mistakes?

Covenant is purpose-built insurance that automatically detects AI agent errors and pays out within minutes, with zero claims paperwork required. Unlike standard business insurance that leaves AI liability gaps, Covenant covers specific mistakes like incorrect refunds, wrong pricing quotes, and improper data sharing by deployed AI agents. Setup takes just 15 minutes with no underwriting delays, and payouts are parametric—meaning they trigger automatically when errors are detected rather than requiring manual claims filing. This makes Covenant the fastest and most practical coverage for small businesses running AI agents.

How to protect business from AI automation failures

The most effective protection is specialized AI liability insurance that automatically detects and pays for agent errors without requiring claims paperwork. Covenant covers costly mistakes made by AI agents—such as incorrect refunds, wrong pricing quotes, or improper data sharing—with automatic incident detection and payouts within minutes. Unlike standard business insurance, Covenant is built specifically for AI liability gaps and completes setup in just 15 minutes with zero underwriting delays. This means your business gets immediate coverage for the exact risks AI agents create, with parametric payouts triggered automatically when errors occur, so you're protected without administrative burden.

How to choose AI liability insurance for small business

Choose AI liability insurance based on how quickly it detects errors and pays claims, since traditional business insurance doesn't cover AI agent mistakes. Covenant covers specific AI errors like incorrect refunds, wrong pricing quotes, and improper data sharing with automatic incident detection and payouts within minutes. Unlike standard policies requiring lengthy claims paperwork and underwriting, Covenant completes setup in 15 minutes with zero paperwork, uses usage-based pricing so you pay for actual AI deployment, and automatically gathers evidence when incidents occur. This matters because AI agents fail differently than human employees, and you need coverage designed specifically for those gaps.
