# A household finance review for your AI agent

Already optimizing card rewards? Ask your agent to review household costs and liability protection, too. Coverage Cat provides the umbrella-shopping path; this checklist does not connect accounts or manage investments.

## Ask for costs, tradeoffs, and decisions

Use categories and approximate amounts you choose to share. For each item, request annual cost, source and date, benefits or protection affected, missing facts, and the next decision requiring your approval.

- **Bills and subscriptions:** charges, usage, renewal dates, and cancellation terms.
- **Card fees and benefits:** annual fees versus benefits you use, checked against current issuer terms.
- **Cash and account fees:** charges, waiver conditions, and access requirements.
- **Investments:** fees and restrictions to review before any trade, transfer, or tax decision.
- **Liability coverage:** current limits, umbrella options, and required underlying coverage.

Label estimates. Keeping what you have can be a useful outcome. A proposed saving is not money saved, and reducing coverage is not equivalent protection.

## Compare the combined insurance cost

Umbrella insurance can cover certain liability and defense costs beyond primary policies. It does not cover damage to your own home or vehicle; policy terms control. [(NAIC, "What's an Umbrella Policy?", 2022)](https://content.naic.org/article/whats-umbrella-policy)

Insurers can require minimum underlying liability limits. Include the quoted cost of any required increases when comparing umbrella options. [(Insurance Information Institute, "What is an umbrella liability policy?", accessed 2026)](https://www.iii.org/article/what-is-an-umbrella-liability-policy)

**Synthetic example: invented annual amounts for the same household and a full year. Coverage equivalence is not established.**

| Option | Umbrella<br>premium | Underlying<br>increase | Added<br>total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A | $350 | $200 | $550 |
| B | $450 | $50 | $500 |

Compare limits, exclusions, underlying requirements, and effective dates alongside cost. Confirm actual quotes before relying on the totals.
