Socotra has released Socotra Assistant for general use and added AI underwriting functionality for insurance customers to its Operations Workbench.
The company describes the product as a production-ready tool for underwriting teams that aims to improve productivity and accuracy through document import, risk assessment insights, and automated summaries. It also says that security controls and auditability remain in place.
Socotra Assistant is available for all insurance products and regions. It runs within the Socotra Operations Workbench, part of the provider’s core insurance software suite.
Socotra says configuration takes about a week and requires no coding. The release also includes documentation and video walkthroughs.
CEO Dan Woods said the launch was in response to insurers’ demand for tools that work live rather than pilot.
“Insurers see a lot of value in AI, but they’re tired of demos and additions that don’t scale into production,” he said.
