Agenda
Insurance runs on documents — and the stakes are high. Regulatory filings demand precision, but manual processes create costly bottlenecks in claims, underwriting, and compliance. Thanks to breakthroughs in AI and LLMs, document intelligence is now viable at scale, transforming how insurers handle complex, sensitive data.
In this session, we’ll explore:
Business Value & ROI – Real-world costs of bad data, how speed-to-market drives quoting and claims settlement, and why paperwork bottlenecks quietly drain millions.
Technical Deep Dives – Inside Reducto and Shepard's document intelligence pipeline, how OCR and vision-language models work together, and strategies for handling messy, variable forms across carriers.
Operational Lessons Learned – Bootstrapping automation without breaking workflows, when human-in-the-loop matters, and getting underwriters and brokers on board.
Future Outlook – From dynamic forms and smart contracts to embedded AI and continuous learning systems that get smarter with every document.
Designed for insurance leaders, operations teams, and technologists, this event unpacks both the “why now” and the “how” of deploying document AI in a high-stakes industry.
