AI won’t replace insurance brokers.
But it will change how their work gets done.
In Episode 148, I spoke with Anupam Gupta, Chief Product Officer at Applied Systems, about how AI is transforming the brokerage tech stack.
One idea stood out:
Instead of replacing humans, AI will become digital teammates working behind the scenes.
For example:
• AI agents preparing renewal packets
• Extracting data from submissions and emails
• Comparing carrier responses
• Surfacing missing coverages
The result?
Less administrative work.
More time for brokers to do what actually matters: advise clients.
One of my favorite lines from the episode:
“Imagine every employee showing up like your top 10%.”
That’s the real promise of AI in insurance.

Tuio serves a segment that traditional insurers struggle with: digitally native customers who expect self-service insurance, transparent pricing, and fast claims resolution. Instead of building another digital wrapper around legacy systems, Tuio designed a platform that uses AI agents to optimize the two biggest drivers of insurance profitability: marketing and claims.

“It was the first FAIR Plan launched in over 20 years.”
When a state becomes the insurer of last resort, it cannot improvise.
A FAIR Plan must operate like a real insurance company: capitalized, issuing paper, fully serviced, and compliant from day one.
In this case, the state had no funds in place.
Within 120 days, the Xceedance team:
Secured the required funding
Stood up full insurance operations
Built the vendor ecosystem
Launched services end-to-end
They were writing business within four months.
An exceptional example of how public-sector insurance initiatives still require private-market execution discipline.
