Insurance Giant Automates Underwriting for Faster, More Accurate Risk Assessment

Use case typeRisk assessmentUpdated Jun 13, 2026

A leading global insurance company faced extensive manual workloads in Cyber Line of Business underwriting. Underwriters were required to assess risk for each submission without modern prioritization tools, resulting in inefficiencies and delayed turnaround. The company partnered with XDuce to develop an AI assistant built with Azure OpenAI Service, Cosmos DB, . NET 6.0, and React. This assistant automatically analyzes submissions for completeness, risk controls, and offers prioritized dashboards. The solution enhances visibility, automates initial risk assessments, and provides justifications for underwriter decisions. As a result, underwriter productivity increased and review turnaround time was reduced by 30–40%, enabling faster, more consistent decision-making.
