Insurance Underwriting Services Agent
Insurance Underwriting Services Agent
Underwriting teams waste significant time reviewing submissions that fall outside their risk appetite. This AI agent pre-screens prospects at the point of first contact, collecting detailed risk information through a guided conversation and flagging submissions that match your underwriting guidelines. Designed for MGAs, program administrators, and carriers with defined risk appetites, the agent filters out ineligible risks before they ever reach an underwriter's desk.

Automating the initial screening layer produces measurable gains in underwriting throughput and submission quality.
Underwriters typically spend 30-45 minutes reviewing each new submission, including time spent on risks that fall outside appetite. When the AI agent pre-screens submissions, underwriters can skip the initial eligibility assessment and focus directly on evaluating the risk. Organizations using automated screening report 40-60% reductions in time-to-quote for submissions that pass the initial filter.
The industry average hit ratio (quotes that convert to bound policies) for commercial lines is 15-25%. By filtering out ineligible or undesirable risks before they reach underwriting, the agent improves the quality of the submission pool. This typically increases hit ratios by 10-15 percentage points because underwriters spend their time on risks they are more likely to write.
Processing each insurance submission costs carriers $50-$150 in underwriting labor, system access, and administrative overhead. When 30-40% of incoming submissions are automatically filtered as outside appetite, the savings compound quickly. A team processing 500 submissions per month could save $7,500-$30,000 monthly by eliminating the cost of reviewing submissions that would have been declined.

features
Purpose-built capabilities that help underwriting teams focus on evaluable risks rather than sorting through unqualified submissions.
The agent evaluates each prospect's risk profile against your defined underwriting appetite in real time. It checks industry class, territory, loss history, and coverage limits before deciding whether to route the submission forward or flag it as outside appetite. This saves underwriters from reviewing submissions they would immediately decline.
Every data point collected during the conversation is structured into fields that map directly to your submission review workflow. Industry classification, annual revenue, prior claims, current coverage details, and expiration dates are captured in a format that underwriters can review and act on immediately, rather than parsing through unstructured emails or attachments.
For complex risks that require additional information (environmental liability, professional E&O, cyber), the agent presents supplemental questions based on the risk class identified earlier in the conversation. This conditional logic ensures you collect the right depth of information for each risk type without burdening simple submissions with unnecessary questions.
If you receive submissions through retail or wholesale brokers, the agent can serve as a digital front door for your submission intake. Brokers get a consistent, guided experience for submitting risks, and your underwriting team receives standardized data regardless of which broker submitted it.

The agent applies the correct criteria based on the coverage type the prospect selects.
You control the declination experience. The agent can deliver a polite message explaining that the risk falls outside your current program, suggest alternative coverage sources if you choose, or offer to connect the prospect with a different team. This professional handling preserves broker and prospect relationships even when you decline to quote.
Yes. The agent can serve as a digital submission portal for your broker network. Each broker receives a consistent intake experience, and your underwriting team receives standardized data regardless of which broker submitted the risk.

The agent supports conditional logic that triggers additional questions based on the risk class. For cyber liability, it can collect data handling practices and IT security details.

Most MGAs and carriers complete their initial configuration within one to two weeks, including defining appetite rules, mapping question flows for each line of business, and connecting their submission management system. Tars provides pre-built insurance workflows that can be customized to match your specific underwriting guidelines.
