Research Agent Developed by Sixfold Claimed to Overcome Underwriting Obstacles

In the world of insurance, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. Two innovative solutions, Sixfold's Research Agent and Neutrinos' AI Agent Library, are making waves by streamlining insurance underwriting processes.

Sixfold's Research Agent, an AI-powered tool, promises to significantly reduce underwriting review times by over 50%. This tool extracts key risk insights from diverse data sources, providing a 360° contextual and digestible assessment of health and risk. It connects disparate data points such as medical records, application forms, and underwriting documents, highlighting relevant medical history, family attributes, hobbies, substance use, and criminal records [1][2].

The system also automatically surfaces irregularities and discrepancies across application documents, ensuring consistent and reliable risk assessments. It offers transparent decision support with clear reasoning and traceability, allowing underwriters to verify insights down to the exact source page. This feature supports compliance requirements and control over data privacy [2].

The AI adapts and learns from the underwriter's preferences, helping underwriters make informed decisions faster without replacing their judgment [2]. Alex Schmelkin, Founder and CEO of Sixfold, anticipates that Research Agent will boost insurers' ability to answer 30% more critical questions [3].

Meanwhile, Neutrinos' AI Agent Library is designed to help insurers operationalize artificial intelligence across various insurance processes, including claims, underwriting, servicing, and distribution [4]. Neutrinos supports insurers through the entire implementation journey of AI-powered intelligent automation [4].

The theme of this month's Insurance Research (IR) is extracting useful data from claims and utilizing it elsewhere in the insurance chain. The focus is particularly on underwriting, where significant gains in innovation are being seen [5].

Sapiens International Corporation, a leading global provider of software solutions for the insurance industry, has announced the release of Sapiens UnderwritingPro v14, an advanced version of its automated underwriting and new business case management system for life & annuities insurers [6]. This system is designed for life & annuities insurers and aims to improve performance across several critical areas, including faster speed to quote, consistent underwriting decisions, and improved risk assessment [6].

Research Agent sources, synthesizes, and documents relevant risk intelligence from the web and third-party data within the underwriter's workflow, eliminating manual research bottlenecks in underwriting decisions [2]. Underwriters can save at least two hours per submission with the use of Research Agent [7].

By automating underwriting processes, both Sixfold's Research Agent and Neutrinos' AI Agent Library aim to improve operational efficiency, transparency, and compliance in life and disability insurance underwriting [1][2][4]. These innovations are set to revolutionize the insurance industry, making it faster, more efficient, and more accurate than ever before.
