Sixfold AI

Sixfold AI is a generative artificial intelligence tool developed and educated to handle the most difficult problems in the insurance industry. The company aids insurance underwriters in enhancing accuracy, optimizing capacity, boosting traceability, and enhancing their overall quality of work life. Underwriting, traditionally a time-consuming and artisanal process, often compels insurers to prioritize submissions, leading to missed opportunities.

Sixfold provides an AI-powered underwriting product that can be customized and used across various insurance lines, including property and casualty, specialty, life and disability, and reinsurance. The product is an underwriting co-pilot and can be integrated with legacy systems. It works by ingesting an insurer's underwriting manual into a model and collecting data from underwriting submissions, supporting documents, and third-party sources to generate semantic matches, summaries, and underwriting suggestions, tailored to the insurer's unique risk appetite.&nbsp;
