AI Automation · for Insurance
AI Automation for Insurance teams — built for the way you actually work.
We helped a DACH multi-line insurer cut first-notice-of-loss triage time from 38 minutes to under 4 minutes by combining LLM-based document extraction with a rule-based routing engine — without changing the underlying claims platform.

What we see in Insurance today
Insurance carriers and brokerages run on legacy systems — most core policy admin, claims, and underwriting platforms in DACH and the broader EU were architected 15–30 years ago and have grown layers of integrations on top. The result is a sector where data lives in 8–15 systems per business unit, where analytics runs through Excel exports and weekly reports, and where every new product launch waits 6–12 months for IT bandwidth. The decision-makers are typically risk-averse for good regulatory reasons (BaFin, EIOPA, Solvency II) but increasingly under board-level pressure to modernise. The buying pattern: cautious vendor selection, long procurement cycles, but real budget once trust is established and a small win has been shipped.
Regulatory context: GDPR + EU AI Act for AI-driven decisioning, BaFin oversight in DE, EIOPA guidelines on outsourcing and digital operational resilience (DORA from 2025). Any AI tool touching underwriting or claims must be auditable end-to-end — black-box is a non-starter.
Pain points we hear from chief operating officers
- Claims data scattered across multiple systems — no single source of truth for fraud signals or reserving
- Underwriting still partially manual — referral queues take 3–7 days for complex risks
- Customer-service teams answering policy questions by hand because the self-service portal lags by years
- Compliance reports built in Excel each quarter, reproducing the same joins every time
- New product launches blocked by core-system change windows, even for small variants
What AI automation looks like for an insurance carrier
Decision-makers: Chief Operating Officer, Head of Claims, Head of Underwriting, IT Director, Chief Data Officer. Here is what we focus on when ai automation meets insurance:
- Claims triage models must be explainable to claims handlers and regulators — SHAP values per decision, not just a confidence score.
- Document-extraction (OCR + LLM) for medical reports, expert opinions, accident reports — the biggest near-term ROI lever in P&C claims.
- Human-in-the-loop everywhere — every AI suggestion routes through an adjuster, with an audit trail of what was changed and why.
- Integration with legacy claims systems via batch or message queue, not always live API — many policy admin systems can't support real-time AI calls.
- Bias and fairness testing as a regulatory artefact — DORA and the EU AI Act both require demonstrable equal-treatment evidence.
- Start narrow — one line of business (e.g., kfz/auto), one workflow (first notice of loss → triage), measurable in 6 weeks.
