Insurance AI Hub: Agentic automation built for real insurance work
Sutherland has introduced Insurance AI Hub, an agentic AI platform for insurers that operationalizes automation across claims, underwriting, and servicing. It's trained on real insurance workflows and built with compliance guardrails. The platform ships with AI agents for Life & Annuity, Group Benefits, Property & Casualty, and Specialty lines.
"Insurers don't need more AI pilots-they need outcomes. The Insurance AI Hub was built with insurance DNA from day one. It delivers scalable agentic automation that understands the industry's complexities, integrates into fragmented IT environments, and provides measurable results-not just demos."
What it does
- Accelerates claims adjudication, triage, fraud checks, and subrogation suggestions
- Streamlines underwriting intake, risk analysis, appetite matching, and quote-to-bind handoffs
- Improves servicing with automated FNOL, policy changes, billing inquiries, and agent support
- Applies line-specific logic across L&A, Group Benefits, P&C, and Specialty
Why it matters for carriers
- Built on insurance workflows, so less rework and faster time to value
- Compliance guardrails and audit trails to support model risk management
- Works in fragmented IT-APIs where available, RPA and document AI where they're not
- Designed for outcomes: cycle time, leakage, loss ratio impact, and CX metrics
Compliance and risk management
The platform includes controls for data privacy, access, and model oversight. That helps teams align with internal policies and external guidance without stalling delivery.
- Data lineage, prompts, and outputs are traceable
- Role-based access and PII redaction for documents and transcripts
- Human-in-the-loop checkpoints for high-impact decisions
For teams formalizing AI governance, see frameworks like the NIST AI Risk Management Framework for structure and controls. NIST AI RMF
Line-specific agents
- Life & Annuity: requirements ordering, APS summarization, suitability checks, surrender processing
- Group Benefits: eligibility validation, EOI review, claims intake, coordination of benefits
- P&C: FNOL, coverage validation, repair routing, fraud scoring, subrogation opportunities
- Specialty: broker submission parsing, exposure extraction, referral routing, endorsements
Typical integration pattern
- Intake: email, portals, PDFs, ACORD forms, call transcripts
- Understanding: document AI and extraction with confidence scores
- Decisioning: business rules + model inference + human approval gates
- Action: write-backs to core systems, CRMs, and claims platforms
High-impact use cases to start with
- Claims: automated document triage and coverage validation
- Underwriting: submission normalization and risk summarization
- Servicing: policy change requests and billing inquiries with agent assist
- Operations: QA automation for calls, chats, and emails
90-day rollout plan
- Weeks 1-2: Select one use case, define KPIs, map current workflow
- Weeks 3-4: Stand up secure environment and connectors, label 200-500 sample cases
- Weeks 5-8: Configure agents, set validation thresholds, enable human review
- Weeks 9-12: Run shadow mode, compare KPIs, move to limited production
Metrics that matter
- Cycle time: days to hours for underwriting and claims steps
- Cost per case: reduction in manual touch time
- Accuracy: straight-through rates, rework percentages
- Leakage and loss ratio: fraud flags, subrogation lift
- Customer and agent experience: NPS/CSAT, handle time, first-contact resolution
What to ask before you buy
- Show me measurable outcomes from production, not pilots
- How do you handle data residency, PII redaction, and auditability?
- What's the fallback when an API isn't available?
- How do human approval steps work for borderline cases?
- What is the change management plan for adjusters and underwriters?
