Insurify Tells Meta’s AI Agent: Not Like This
Insurify blocked Meta’s Muse personal AI agent from accessing its
insurance comparison marketplace.
The company said automated scraping risks stripping quotes of important
context, including coverage limits, deductibles, discounts, eligibility
conditions, carrier attribution and state-required disclosures.
Insurify said it remains open to working with Meta on an integration that
preserves those protections, but argued that an insurance quote cannot
be reduced to a bare price list.

Broker Technology
Marsh Wants to Turn Weeks of Specialty Placement Into Hours
Marsh launched Broker WorkBench, an AI-powered placement platform for
brokers operating in the London specialty insurance market.
The platform is designed to help brokers match and send placement
requests, negotiate terms and bind contracts across lead markets,
digital followers and pre-arranged follow-form capacity.
Marsh says the technology can reduce placement times from an industry
average of two to four weeks to days or even hours, while brokers remain
responsible for approving recommended placements.

CLARA Puts AI Agents Inside the Claim File
CLARA Analytics launched Agentic Intelligence, an end-to-end agentic AI
layer for complex casualty and workers’ compensation claims.
The system places multiple AI agents directly inside the claim file from
first notice of loss through resolution, moving CLARA beyond surfacing
insights toward recommending and helping execute next steps.
Adjusters remain in control of claim decisions while the agents support
work around the clock.

remain covered where it would otherwise meet the policy’s coverage
requirements.

ownership, infringement and generated outputs, and forms part of CFC’s
wider programme to introduce explicit AI wording across its portfolio.
