Is AI in Insurance Just Automation or the New Operating System?

Most insurance companies are layering AI on top of legacy systems.

But what happens when you build the entire company around AI from day one?

In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, we sit down with Juan Garcia, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Tuio a 100% digital, AI-native insurance company based in Spain that is redefining underwriting, claims processing, and customer service at scale.

This isn’t insurtech hype.

Tuio has scaled to 100,000+ customers with approximately 57% loss ratio and 7x+ LTV/CAC performance metrics most insurance startups only promise in pitch decks.

Even more striking:
• 80%+ of customer interactions are handled end-to-end by autonomous AI agents
• ~85% of simple claims are processed fully by AI decision-makers
• Human teams focus on complexity, governance, and strategy not repetitive workflows

This episode explores what it truly means to build an AI-native insurance carrier and what traditional agents, carriers, and founders must prepare for over the next decade.
