AI Agents / Underwriting

One long-horizon agent carries every submission.

The Layerup underwriting agent ingests the submission, extracts data, summarizes risk, screens appetite, prepares quote inputs, and assembles referral packages — one agent per line of business, running uninterrupted for hours or days until the underwriter can decide.

Submission to bound — executed, not assisted.

Every stage below is one agent's single continuous run, from intake to referral and bind. Underwriters approve, refine appetite, and own the decision.

02Capabilities

Nine steps. One agent's single run.

These are the stages of the underwriting agent's run — from submission intake through document ingestion, risk summarization, and referral. The same agent executes all of them, in order, without handoffs.

01 — Submission intake
5 steps

Submission intake from any channel.

Email, broker portal, agency uploads, ACORD packets, statements of values, and supplemental documents — the underwriting agent intakes everything submitted and clears it for handling.

  • 01Email and portal monitoring
  • 02Submission classification and routing
  • 03Duplicate and clearance checks
  • 04Account history reconciliation
  • 05Initial completeness assessment
02 — Document ingestion
5 steps

Every document, parsed and indexed.

ACORDs, SOVs, loss runs, financial statements, security questionnaires, broker memos, and supplemental documents — all ingested, parsed, and indexed for downstream reasoning.

  • 01ACORD form parsing
  • 02SOV and schedule ingestion
  • 03Loss run interpretation
  • 04Supplemental document classification
  • 05Source-of-truth indexing per submission
03 — Data extraction
5 steps

Structured data from unstructured submissions.

The agent extracts the structured data underwriters need — exposures, locations, history, named insureds, prior carriers, attachments — into a clean, reviewable record.

  • 01Account and exposure extraction
  • 02Location and schedule extraction
  • 03Loss history extraction
  • 04Coverage and limit extraction
  • 05Audit trail to source documents
04 — Risk summarization
5 steps

Risk briefs underwriters trust.

The agent produces concise, evidence-linked risk summaries underwriters can scan in minutes — not hours of document review.

  • 01Account narrative
  • 02Exposure overview
  • 03Loss experience summary
  • 04Risk highlights and concerns
  • 05Source citations to original documents
05 — Appetite & eligibility screening
5 steps

Consistent appetite at scale.

Layerup applies your appetite, eligibility, and underwriting guidelines uniformly — clearing in-appetite risks faster and surfacing out-of-appetite ones immediately.

  • 01Appetite check against current guidelines
  • 02Eligibility screening per program
  • 03Knock-out and exclusion detection
  • 04Class and segment classification
  • 05Decline-with-reason support
06 — Quote preparation
5 steps

Quote-ready inputs, prepared by the agent.

The agent prepares the inputs the rating engine needs and stages the package for underwriter review — accelerating quote-to-bind and reducing aged submissions.

  • 01Rating input preparation
  • 02Coverage and form selection support
  • 03Term and condition staging
  • 04Pricing input prep
  • 05Quote document preparation
07 — Risk tier / class & exclusions
5 steps

Risk tier, class, and endorsement support.

The same agent supports tier and class assignment, endorsement and exclusion selection, and documents the rationale for each step.

  • 01Risk tier and class support
  • 02Endorsement selection support
  • 03Exclusion application support
  • 04Rationale documentation
  • 05Senior underwriter referral routing
08 — Referral package & renewal review
5 steps

Senior referral and renewal acceleration.

Layerup assembles complete referral packages for senior underwriters and accelerates renewal review with full prior-year context.

  • 01Referral package creation
  • 02Prior decision and rationale context
  • 03Loss experience trend analysis
  • 04Renewal review workflow
  • 05Re-rate and re-quote preparation
09 — Straight-through processing & QA
5 steps

STP for clean risk, QA for everything.

Clean, in-appetite submissions resolve straight through to quote. Every output is sampled and QA-reviewed against your guidelines and compliance obligations.

  • 01Straight-through processing for clean risk
  • 02Confidence scoring and routing
  • 03Sample-based QA review
  • 04Compliance and guideline conformance
  • 05Continuous improvement feedback loop
