“Providing one policy that combines cyber with Tech E&O helps maximize contact points for the broker and the insured, solve for coverage overlap, and streamline claims processes,” said Trent Cooksley, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of Cowbell. “Tech E&O primary, particularly paired with cyber insurance, is important to protect companies against rising threats and has been a highly requested product by our clients. We are thrilled to deepen our long-time relationship with Obsidian to deliver Prime Tech.”
To streamline the process and complexities of underwriting cyber and Tech E&O risks, Cowbell reveals Cowbell Co-Pilot, a generative AI solution built into the underwriting process of Prime Tech. Cowbell Co-Pilot leverages generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) to expedite the human review of contracts and guide the process with AI prompts that identify critical language important to verify prior to offering terms.
Cowbell Co-Pilot’s benefits include:
- Accuracy: By leveraging Co-Pilot to help analyze contracts, underwriters make more informed decisions. Co-Pilot highlights to underwriters key clauses, terms, and conditions that may impact the risk profile of the prospect, enabling underwriters to assess contract wording and risks more accurately.
- Augmentation: Co-Pilot retrieves potentially relevant information from contracts and other sources to augment the underwriting process, leading to a more robust risk assessment by providing context and insights that may not be apparent solely from the contracts.
- Communication: Co-Pilot generates clear summaries of contracts, making it potentially easier for human underwriters to communicate key feedback with broker partners and policyholders, thereby improving communication.
- Recommendations: Co-Pilot seeks to learn from each business it analyzes, in an effort to improve its ability to provide more relevant insights and recommendations over time. This allows Co-Pilot to suggest certain risk mitigation strategies, such as adding specific clauses to contracts.
- Speed: Co-Pilot summarizes contracts, potentially saving underwriters time and allowing them to devote more time to other aspects of the underwriting process.
“We’ve leveraged AI in many forms to drive better outcomes for our customers and the company, but our latest innovation is going to be one of our biggest advancements to date,” said Rajeev Gupta, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Cowbell. “With underwriting Co-Pilot we can enhance productivity, efficiency, and precision within the decision-making processes for both technical and non-technical users, and therefore, bridge the gap between human expertise and technological capabilities.”
