Anupam Gupta, chief product officer at Applied Systems, offers an update on how the tech provider continues to experiment and roll out AI-embedded tools for independent agents. Commercial lines workflows are a major pain point for agents and carriers and thus a focus of his team’s efforts, he says. Insurance professionals are wrestling with back-and-forth communications with carriers, repeatedly filling out forms and supplementals for new and renewal business. That needs to stop. “We are convinced that AI will add game-changing value,” Anupam says. “It’s not hype. We are all-in on AI, even though it’s early in the product game.” He advises us to “get curious and experiment” with insurance-specific AI tools. “See how it impacts your daily work. Give feedback. Building trust with AI is really important.” Anupam shares advice he’s learned from others: “Ideas are easy. Execution is everything.” And, “Don’t be a know-it-all. Be a learn-it-all.”

In our continuing attempt to unpack AI in insurance, we hear from Dale Steinke, a “company guy” who truly understands the daily challenges faced by independent agents. He’s director of Liberty Mutual’s Agent for the Future Advisors. Dale shares his own research on how AI prompts work on various platforms. And he outlines examples of how AI can save agents and brokers time with specific workflows, like policy checking, account rounding, call summaries, email support, content generation and video proposals. (Dale estimates AI saves him six hours a week in his own job.) In a cool twist, agencies also can use AI to draft an “AI Usage Policy,” which is important in the same way a policy for social media usage was necessary when that first emerged. Too, Dale warns agents to realize what you’re getting into with some tools. Entering information in a public AI platform like ChatGPT means the universe can access it as well. If you want useful and practical knowledge to gain workflow improvement—and flat-out fun—with artificial intelligence, Dale is your resource.
