Recommended agent uses

3 workflows you could delegate to AI

1

Review applications and prepare decisions

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to read application forms, supporting documents, and policy records, then pull out the facts that matter for underwriting. It can compare the application to your guidelines, flag missing or conflicting details, and prepare a recommendation packet for your review.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the case is acceptable, needs more information, or should be declined after you review the file and the flags it raises.

Review level: High

2

Check related policy exposure

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to gather company records for one risk or a related group of risks, then total the insurance in force and note where policies may overlap. It can build a clean exposure summary so you can see concentration, stacking, or missing links before you act.

Where you stay involved

You review the grouped policies, confirm whether they truly belong together, and decide if the exposure level is still acceptable.

Review level: Medium

3

Flag risky applications for review

How you could use an agent

Use an agent to scan an application for risk flags such as weak financials, poor property condition, or incomplete paperwork, then compare those details with your underwriting rules. It can prepare a short review note showing whether the file looks standard, needs rating changes, or should be sent up for a closer look.

Where you stay involved

You decide whether the evidence really calls for a rating change, referral, decline, or reinsurance request, and you make the final underwriting call.

Review level: High

O*NET 31.0 · methodology 3.3.0. Every workflow passes an action-level physical-execution and protected human-and-veterinary clinical-action gate. Documentation workflows must own a complete digital loop and use digital task evidence only; support-only workflows are disclosed separately and excluded from scoring. Artistic, editorial, normative, and policy-dependent work receives a transparent human-judgment constraint. National ranking within 923 scored O*NET occupations under methodology 3.3.0.
