CFC Lane Assist agentic underwriting pilot for cyber submissions to quote

L2 · Supervised Verified · Demo Insurance Operations

Specialty insurer CFC launched Lane Assist, a live pilot of agentic underwriting in its Cyber team that takes low-complexity submissions from email to quote recommendation in seconds; every recommendation is reviewed and approved by an underwriter before issue (reported by CFC)

Problem

High-volume, mass-appetite cyber submissions consumed underwriter time on data extraction and quote construction that could be standardized, slowing broker turnaround (reported by CFC)

Workflow

  1. Broker submission arrives by email
  2. Lane Assist extracts data and constructs a quote recommendation using CFC underwriting rules
  3. Underwriter reviews, checks and approves before anything is issued
  4. Pilot limited to a small number of real new-business submissions in live workflows

Human-in-the-loop: Underwriters review and approve every recommendation before quote issuance; pilot is deliberately low-touch assist, not unbound auto-bind.
