Revolutionizing Insurance Workflows with Vertafore's AI Technology
Vertafore, a leader in insurance distribution technology, has rolled out Velocity Coach Agent, a new AI-driven feature aimed to streamline workflows for insurance professionals by integrating it into agency management systems.
The latest innovation by Vertafore pushes its AgencyOne platform forward by embedding AI-powered guidance features directly into systems like AMS360 and Sagitta. Designed to minimize productivity disruptions, the Velocity Coach Agent provides insurance professionals with immediate access to vital product and procedure information. This reduces the common detour of consulting external documentation, thereby allowing insurance agents and brokers to boost proficiency and cultivate independence. James Thom, Vertafore's president and chief AI officer, observed that workflow interruptions significantly impact agency productivity. "Coach Agent gives people a way to get answers and keep moving, while building the knowledge and confidence to handle more on their own," he said.
Vertafore's introduction of Coach Agent is part of their strategy to establish the "Agentic Agency," which integrates artificial intelligence across a multitude of business functions including sales, submissions, and service procedures. The feature supports natural language queries, making it easier for users to access critical data like standard operating procedures. According to internal tests, the tool promised a notable reduction in search time for information by up to 88%. Shyla Lankford from Symphony Risk highlighted the tool’s capability, noting it "adds real value to training by bringing personalized, on-demand coaching directly into AMS360." As the insurance landscape becomes increasingly competitive, Vertafore continues to lead in supporting agencies with digital and AI-driven systems, aiming to eliminate operational inefficiencies across the board.
