Sixfold Passes 1 Million AI Underwriting Submissions
5 December 2025
Sixfold says its platform has now processed more than one million underwriting submissions across 40+ lines, working with underwriting teams at carriers including Zurich North America, AXIS, and Generali. For insurers, the signal is clear: production AI is moving into core underwriting, not sitting on the sidelines.
The company reports 129% year-over-year growth in submissions and active use across 50+ underwriting teams. This aligns with what many leaders are seeing internally: less experimentation, more deployment that fits existing workflows and supports human judgment.
"Carriers aren't looking for AI concepts anymore-they're looking for AI that works from day one," said Jane Tran, COO of Sixfold. "Underwriters need tools that handle complexity, plug directly into existing systems, and improve decision-making. That's why leading insurers are rolling Sixfold out at speed; it works the way underwriting actually works."
While many insurance AI programs stall in pilots, Sixfold points to different results. The company cites an 89% average user adoption rate and a 2.4-month time-to-value across its customers. Adoption is defined as active users compared to the team size committed at implementation, which speaks to everyday workflow use rather than a loose login metric.
"Seventy percent of failed AI efforts come from human and organizational barriers, not technology," said Laurence Brouillette, Head of Customer Success at Sixfold. "The carriers seeing success are the ones who involve underwriters from day one, give feedback loops real weight, and treat AI as a core workflow tool. That's how insurers successfully scale from pilot to enterprise deployment."
Why this matters for carriers
- AI needs to live inside underwriting, not beside it. Tight integration with existing systems and document flows beats standalone tools.
- Adoption is the metric that counts. Measure active use against the teams you committed, and track time-to-value.
- Change is a people problem first. Put underwriters in the driver's seat, set clear guardrails, and build feedback loops into the rollout.
- Go line by line with a scale plan. Prove value fast, then expand across geographies and products with a repeatable playbook.
- Look for enterprise readiness. Security, auditability, and performance under real volumes should be non-negotiable.
