Western National Insurance Leverages Convr’s Underwriting Workbench to Innovate Their Underwriting

CHICAGO (June 25, 2026) – An underwriter reviewing a $40M manufacturing submission can now ask their AI assistant — Microsoft Copilot, Claude, or any compatible agent, "What are the key risk characteristics on this account and how does it compare to similar risks?" and get an answer grounded in Convr's commercial P&C Risk Context Engine (RCE). That includes exposure profile, prior losses, peer benchmarks, and classification, all traceable to source.  

Convr^® has added support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard that lets AI agents call external systems as tools, making the RCE the industry's only commercial P&C knowledge graph and semantic ontology purpose-built for underwriting — available to any MCP-compatible AI system.

What underwriters can now do from inside their AI agent of choice:

• Triage new submissions against carrier appetite  

• Pull exposure summaries, prior-loss context, and peer benchmarks mid-conversation with a broker

• Validate classifications and surface missing information before binding

• Ground AI-drafted quote rationale, declination letters, and referral memos in RCE data the underwriter can trace

Because the RCE is calibrated against real commercial P&C submissions and refined in production across carriers, MGAs, and brokers, every response carries the same grounding and traceability as work done directly in the Convr Underwriting Workbench.

"Underwriting decisions are only as good as the context behind them, and the best source of commercial P&C insurance context is the Convr Risk Context Engine," said Harish Neelamana, Founder, President and Chief Product Officer at Convr. "With MCP, an underwriter can stay in Microsoft Copilot, Claude, or whichever AI agent their carrier has standardized on, and the RCE meets them there — with the same grounded, traceable intelligence they'd get inside the Convr Underwriting Workbench. The decision gets made faster, with better context, and the underwriter never has to leave the tool they're already in."

CHICAGO (June 23, 2026) – Convr^®, the leading AI UnderwritingWorkbench for commercial property and casualty (P&C) insurance, today affirmed its commitment to a core-system-agnostic architecture that deliversAI-powered underwriting across every major policy administration platform including Guidewire, Duck Creek, Sapiens, and other core systems used by carriers and MGAs worldwide.

The announcement comes as commercial insurance organizations confront a difficult modernization reality: the speed of AI is accelerating, but core system replacement cycles remain measured in years, not months. Carriers and MGAs cannot afford to wait for a full core system transformation before deploying AI in underwriting, and they cannot afford to be locked into AI tools that work with only one platform. Convr's architecture is designed expressly for this moment, bringing AI-powered intake, enrichment, classification, scoring, and agentic decisioning to underwriting teams without disrupting their existing systems of record.

Built to integrate, not to replace

Convr's AI Underwriting Workbench is purpose-built as a modular layer that integrates with, not in place of, a carrier's existing system architecture. Through modern APIs, configurable data exchanges, and a flexible integration framework, Convr's platform connects with the major commercial insurance ecosystems, including:

·      Guidewire

·      DuckCreek

·      Sapiens

·      Legacy and proprietary systems

Convr's integration approach is grounded in the same proprietary commercial P&C ontology that powers the rest of the workbench, allowing the platform to translate between data models, classification schemas, and exposure structures across systems. The result: underwriters get a unified, AI-powered submission experience regardless of which core platform sits behind it.

"Underwriting transformation cannot wait for core system transformation," said John Stammen, Chief Executive Officer at Convr. "Our customers run on every major platform in the industry, and they need AI that works with what they already have. We built Convr from day one to be the connective tissue between underwriting intelligence and core systems, not a replacement for either."

Availability

Convr's Underwriting Workbench and powerful Risk Context Engine is available today for carriers and MGAs operating on any major commercial insurance core system. Organizations interested in learning more can visit convr.com or contact a Convr representative.

CHICAGO (June 16, 2026) – Convr^®, the leading AI company serving commercial insurance organizations with its modular underwriting workbench, today announced a strategic partnership with Property Guardian, the wildfire risk analytics platform from Green Shield Holdings. Through the agreement, Property Guardian's property-level wildfire intelligence will be available directly within the Convr AI Underwriting Workbench, giving underwriters the data they need to confidently select, price, and monitor wildfire-exposed risks without interrupting their workflow.

Wildfires have become one of the most consequential and fastest-evolving perils in property insurance, reshaping appetite, capacity, and pricing across the western United States and beyond. Underwriters increasingly need transparent, defensible, property-level wildfire data to write business in exposed markets, rather than declining accounts or relying on generic regional risk scores. By integrating Property Guardian into Convr's workbench, customers gain a unified view of submission data, enriched business intelligence, and wildfire-specific risk insights, all in one place.

What the partnership delivers

Convr’s Property Guardian users can expect:

• Property-level wildfire risk insights — including structure, parcel, community, and regional analytics — surfaced inline within Convr submissions

• Access to Property Guardian's analytics, built on exclusive data partnerships with leading wildfire modeling and imagery providers

• Faster, more defensible underwriting decisions in wildfire-exposed markets, with the ability to expand appetite into accounts that might otherwise have been declined for lack of clarity

• Reduced reliance on costly in-person loss control inspections

• A unified workflow that combines Convr's intake, enrichment, classification, and decisioning capabilities incorporating Property Guardian's specialized wildfire analytics

“Wildfire risk has fundamentally changed how property underwriters need to think about selection and pricing, and our customers have been clear that they want trusted wildfire intelligence available at the point of decision, not three tabs away," said John Stammen, Chief Executive Officer at Convr. "Property Guardian brings the depth of wildfire science, modeling, and expertise that complements the Convr AI Underwriting Workbench. Together, we're giving underwriters the clarity to write more business confidently in some of the most challenging markets in the country."

“Convr is transforming how commercial insurance organizations move from submission intake to underwriting decision, and this partnership brings Property Guardian’s wildfire intelligence directly into that workflow,” said Pat Blandford, Founder & CEO of Property Guardian. “Wildfire-exposed business does not have to be an automatic decline. With the right property-level data, underwriters can better understand risk, identify where mitigation and resilience matter, and make faster, more defensible decisions. Together with Convr, we’re helping carriers and MGAs bring greater clarity, consistency, and confidence to one of the industry’s most challenging perils.”

The integration is available to Convr customers immediately. Carriers and MGAs interested in learning more can visit convr.com or contact their Convr representative.
