Akur8 acquires Matrisk and launches Discover: AI for faster, smarter P&C pricing
January 6, 2026
Akur8 has acquired Matrisk and introduced Akur8 Discover, a pricing intelligence tool built to turn P&C rate and rule filings into searchable, actionable insight. The product sits inside the Akur8 pricing platform, giving pricing, actuarial, and product teams direct access to market context while they model, re-rate, and select rates.
In short: you get filings search powered by AI, structured data and rules, and source-linked citations, all in one workflow.
What Akur8 Discover does
- Search and analyze P&C rate and rule filings with AI, backed by structured tables, factors, rules, and citations to original sources.
- Benchmark competitor rating strategies by state, peril, and line of business.
- Monitor rate evolution over time and track market moves as they happen.
- Surface likely regulatory objections early, so you can adjust before submission.
- Feed insights directly into Akur8's existing tools for re-rating, rate selection, demand modeling, and financial forecasting.
The core advantage is context. You can compare what the market filed, see how it changed, and connect that intelligence to your pricing decisions without bouncing between systems.
Why it matters for pricing teams
- Shorter pricing and filing cycles by reducing manual research and rework.
- Higher confidence with transparent citations and clear lineage to filings.
- Cleaner handoffs between actuarial, product, and compliance using a shared source of truth.
- Fewer surprises from regulators because likely issues are flagged earlier.
Under the hood
By bringing Matrisk into the fold, Akur8 deepens its use of large language models and unstructured data processing. The focus is practical: structure messy filings, keep traceability, and expose everything with enough transparency for actuarial and regulatory scrutiny.
What leadership is saying
Akur8 CEO Samuel Falmagne said the move extends the company's mission: build better pricing models faster with full transparency and control-now with competitive and regulatory context embedded. With filings search and market intelligence inside the platform, insurers can align modeling, re-rating, demand, and financial forecasts with what the market and regulators will accept.
Matrisk AI co-founder Sergey Filimonov added that the vision is to turn tedious market research into leverage. By meeting users where they build rates, the combined platform shifts pricing from a standalone model to an end-to-end decision process that bakes in regulatory and market context.
How this changes your workflow
- Market scan: Pull comparable filings, limits, factors, and rules, with direct links back to sources.
- Scenario building: Test rating adjustments against market benchmarks and demand models.
- Regulatory prep: Pre-check for likely objections and document rationale with citations.
- Submission and iteration: Track versions, decisions, and outcomes to speed the next filing.
Questions to ask before you adopt
- Coverage: Which states, perils, and LOBs are live today? How often is the data refreshed?
- Transparency: Are all insights tied to source-linked citations? Can auditors trace every factor back to its filing?
- Exports: Can we export tables, rules, and derived features into our modeling stack and governance tools?
- Controls: What access controls, redaction, and PHI/PII safeguards are in place?
- Performance: How is model accuracy measured on extraction, summarization, and rule mapping?
- Change management: How are versioning, rollbacks, and regulator Q&A supported?
Where this could go next
- Deeper integration with portfolio, demand, and elasticity models to quantify impact before submission.
- Broader state coverage and faster update cycles for near real-time market signals.
- Templates that auto-generate filing-ready narratives with embedded citations for compliance teams.

Next step for your team
If your pricing cadence slows at research, or if objections keep adding cycles, this is worth a closer look. Tight integration between market intelligence and modeling can free up time, reduce revisions, and sharpen rate decisions.

Bottom line: Akur8 Discover brings filings data, AI, and pricing execution under one roof. For insurers who compete on speed, accuracy, and compliance, that combination can make a noticeable difference in loss ratio and time-to-approval.
