Verisk, a global data analytics and technology provider to the insurance industry, has integrated its reliable insurance analytics and generative AI capabilities with artificial intelligence firm Anthropic’s Claude Enterprise.
This integration is facilitated by standardised Verisk Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, which enable insurance and property restoration professionals to access insights conversationally within a secure, governed environment.
Verisk’s analytics and AI-powered solutions are used by the top 100 US property and casualty insurers, as well as re/insurers and brokers globally.
Its deep knowledge of insurance processes, platforms, and workflows enables it to responsibly support the next evolution of how insurance professionals engage with trusted data and analytics through AI.
Building on this foundation, Verisk is introducing a conversational layer atop its trusted analytics – enabling the following capabilities within enterprise AI environments:
Verisk’s MCP connectors enable insurance professionals to access its proprietary regulatory-grade data and analytics using generative AI, governed by Verisk’s data governance framework.
This allows insights to be surfaced via natural language, eliminating the need to navigate multiple systems. The result is a faster, more reliable acceleration of critical underwriting and claims workflows.
“Trust is the foundation of insurance, and that doesn’t change as new technologies emerge,” said Lee Shavel, president and CEO of Verisk. “What is changing is how professionals expect to interact with information. Our role is to bring AI into insurance in a way that reflects the realities of the industry – where data must be authoritative, decisions must be explainable, and accountability remains with people. This collaboration with Anthropic applies a conversational interface to Verisk’s governed analytics so professionals can work more efficiently, while upholding the industry’s high standards.”
Verisk is launching two connectors in Claude that provide conversational access to its proprietary analytics for underwriting and restoration use cases: Verisk Underwriting Intelligence (ISO Indications) and Verisk XactRestore.
Through Verisk Underwriting Intelligence, insurers can access loss cost trends, experience insights, and filing signals from Insurance Services Office (ISO), a Verisk business, using conversational queries within their underwriting workflow.
Underwriters and actuaries can query loss cost trends, experience insights, and filing signals conversationally.
Verusk estimates that this integration could save carriers hundreds of hours per year by consolidating data that previously required multiple tools to access.
The Verisk XactRestore connector is aimed at restoration contractors. This tool provides conversational access – using natural language – to researched pricing and estimating intelligence. For experienced contractors, this is expected to save between 30 minutes and two hours per estimate.
Verisk’s approach remains model- and platform-agnostic, enabling clients to integrate Verisk data, insights and AI into their existing environments regardless of their strategy or vendor choices.
This collaboration with Anthropic builds on the company’s two-decade history of embedding AI across the insurance ecosystem, through rigorous governance and compliance protocols.
Shavel added: “Responsible use of generative AI isn’t just about efficiency – it’s about helping insurers make sound decisions so consumers and policyholders receive clarity, confidence, and support when it matters most.”
