As claims organisations embrace automation and agentic AI, the biggest breakthroughs are human. In specialist and complex claims, human input remains essential for judgment, nuance, and customer trust. This session explores how to design an AI “claims buddy” that augments, rather than replaces, expert handlers; how to bring long-tenured teams along on the journey; and how to rethink workforce planning, skills, and culture as AI takes on a second-opinion role in the claims file.
- Learn how to design and implement an AI “claims buddy” for complex, specialist lines
- Understand practical change management tactics to engage and upskill claims teams
- Discover how agentic AI can accelerate progress where traditional automation stalled
-

7Analytics is a Norwegian technology company founded by four geologists with backgrounds in fluid dynamics and subsurface modelling from the oil & gas industry. The company was established to close a critical knowledge gap in understanding and underwriting flood risk with true precision.
7Analytics provides 1x1m flood hazard data for all flood types (pluvial, riverine, coastal, and flash floods), building-level pluvial flood scores, as well as forecasting and early warning solutions. The data is already used by property insurers in six countries for underwriting, pricing, and event response — and by banks, cities, hospitals, energy companies, manufacturers, and retailers to strengthen climate resilience and prevent loss of life and business interruptions.
In this presentation, we present a Germany-wide study conducted with Gen Re and 12 of its primary carrier clients. Our pluvial flood model demonstrates strong predictive performance against historical claims data — particularly when compared to other flood models and GDV (ZÜRS) classifications. Furthermore, our analysis of 7 million residential buildings across all 16 German states shows that portfolios with high pluvial flood exposure correlate strongly with lower insurer profitability.
