AppliedAI and McKinsey partner to deliver agentic AI to regulated enterprises
Insurance

See where AI pays off in claims and underwriting, before you implement.

Opus builds a live model of how your operation really runs: your Digital Twin, mapped live with your teams. Then it puts AI to work where the value is, with a person on every decision that matters.

The problem

AI belongs in claims and underwriting. The hard part is where, and what it's worth.

You can see the outputs: cycle times, leakage, loss and combined ratio. What you can't see is the work that produces them. Which steps absorb the most effort, where handlers reach different decisions on similar files, which change would actually move the ratio: none of that is visible in your core systems. So AI programmes start where someone has a hunch rather than where the value is, and the business case gets written after the build instead of before it.

  1. 01 · Digital Twin

    A live model of how your operation actually runs

    Opus builds a Digital Twin of your claims and underwriting operation: every step, hand-off and decision, as it happens rather than as the process document describes it. It is not a diagram that goes stale: the Digital Twin is always on, and stays current as your business changes.

  2. 02 · Discover

    Mapped live, with the people who do the work

    The Digital Twin is built in sessions with your handlers and underwriters, not inferred from system logs. The people who own the decisions shape the model, which is why they trust what comes out of it and can run it themselves afterwards. It is built for the teams doing the work, not only for IT.

  3. 03 · Build, Run, Optimise

    Then it rewires the work, not just automates it

    This is the part that matters. Opus redesigns the workflow for AI first and then runs it, so you are not doing a flawed process faster. It runs on top of your policy admin and claims systems and sharpens the AI you already have, with a person on every decision that counts, and it learns from every correction, so it keeps improving after go-live.

FAQ

Straight answers.

Is our data secure and compliant?

Built for regulated policy and claims data, deployable in your own cloud, private cloud, or on-prem, with every action logged and auditable.

Does Opus replace our policy admin or claims systems?

No. Opus is an operating layer on top of your existing stack — policy admin, claims and the rest — designed to integrate, not replace.

Are we locked into one AI model?

No. Opus is model-agnostic — use any model, or several.

Will it disrupt live operations?

No. Start with one workflow, run it in parallel with a person in the loop, and scale once it's proven.

Who stays accountable for decisions?

You do. Opus routes exceptions to your handlers and underwriters and logs every step, so control and accountability stay in-house.

Do we keep control over coverage and claims decisions?

Yes. Opus drafts the recommendation and the rationale; a person signs off on every claim and underwriting decision that counts.
