From document to insights at scale: Solving real-world challenges with intelligent agents in P&C Insurance

Meet Sarah, a commercial underwriter. 

Her day starts with a flood of submissions packed with binders, loss runs, endorsements, and unstructured broker notes. These documents rarely follow a standard format. So, before she can even begin assessing risk or pricing, she must shift through hundreds of pages to find the data that truly matters. 

It is a slow, error-prone, and exhausting process; one shared by underwriters, account managers, and brokers across the P&C industry. The effort it takes to get to the right information delays decisions, increases risk, and drains valuable time.

At BluePond.AI, we’ve built a system of intelligent, domain-aware agents to change that; tackling these manual, inefficient operations and turning fragmented documents into structured, decision-ready insights.

In this blog, we take a closer look at the key technical challenges we had to overcome in building these systems and how BluePond.AI is solving them at scale through innovation and advanced technology.

Challenge 1: Reading messy, non-standard documents

Insurance workflows heavily rely on various documents, including scanned PDFs, Excel sheets, emails, annotated forms, and more. For Sarah, this means spending hours and effort just trying to read and interpret the large volume of data that’s in front of her. 

Our solution: Extraction agents

We deploy modular pipelines trained to read, classify, and extract from any insurance document. These agents combine layout-aware models from third-party document intelligence models, domain-specific logic, and the power of LLMs to convert chaotic inputs into structured, machine-readable data. 

They can extract structured information from complex multi-column page layouts, poor scans, rotated pages, handwritten notes, and more. 

Extraction agents perform: 

• Context filtering, where relevant sections are isolated using insurance-specific logic. 

• Structured extraction, where key entities are pulled using LLMs and other fine-tuned models. 

• Post-processing and confidence scoring, where output is standardized and each field is tagged with a confidence score. 

The result?

Automated, robust, and reliable reading and accurate extraction across any insurance document or format, thereby reducing manual effort and accelerating decision turnaround for Sarah. 

Challenge 2: Making LLMs uncover cross-document insights and work at scale 

Ben, a claims manager, regularly reviews incident reports filled with vague, unstructured narratives. To make matters more complex, validating a single claim often requires cross-referencing multiple documents, including policies, endorsements, police reports, medical records, and more.

While general-purpose LLMs offer some assistance, they lack domain context, come at a high cost, and are prone to generating inaccurate or misleading outputs.

Our solution: Targeted LLM use with a hybrid architecture

We use LLMs only in scenarios that demand ambiguity resolution, multi-hop reasoning, or nuanced interpretation. For other routine or well-defined tasks, we rely on deterministic logic and smaller, fine-tuned models tailored to specific functions. This is further strengthened by our proprietary, domain-specific insurance language library. 

Our hybrid architecture combines:

• Tightly scoped prompt structures designed for accurate, context-aware extraction from complex insurance documents.

• Optimized context and chunking strategies with task-specific guardrails to ensure precision and reliability.

• Advanced LLM workflows that chain, route, and loop multiple LLM interactions, integrated with other ML models and our proprietary insurance language library.

The result? A reliable, cost-effective language understanding framework that delivers both precision and scalability, ensuring clarity for Ben, without trade-offs.

Challenge 3: Guaranteeing data quality and trust 

Even with robust extraction capabilities, edge cases and occasional errors are inevitable. But for users like Sarah and Ben, trust in the data isn’t optional; it’s a must-have. 

Our solution: Confidence scoring and human-in-the-loop safeguards

After extraction, each data field undergoes an additional layer of validation. This includes confidence scoring, business rule checks, and comparison against past performance metrics. Each prediction is assigned a confidence score, and low-confidence fields are automatically routed through human-in-the-loop (HITL) workflows for expert review.

BluePond’s team of insurance specialists monitors model outputs, corrects anomalies, and continuously updates our proprietary insurance language library. This feedback loop not only improves model accuracy but also enhances its contextual understanding of industry-specific language.

The result? 

A system built for transparency and auditability at every step, so users like Sarah and Ben can act with confidence.

Beyond extraction: Agents that drive action 

Extracting data is just the beginning; the real value lies in what happens next. At BluePond.AI, we use intelligent agents to take it a step further and transform raw extracted data into decisions.

Comparison agents 

When Sarah needs to compare a bound policy with a quote, our Comparison Agents do the heavy lifting. They surface only the differences that materially impact risk, automating a task that once required hours of manual review.

Recommendation agents 

During claims evaluation, Ben relies on our Recommendation Agents to synthesize insights across multiple documents and flag critical anomalies.

These agents answer key questions such as:

• Is this loss covered under the policy?

• Have any exclusions been added through endorsements?

• Are there discrepancies between the repairer’s invoice and the adjuster’s estimates?

By connecting the dots across unstructured data, our agents deliver clear, context-rich recommendations and actionable insights, enabling confident decisions at every step.

Classifiers and orchestrators

To coordinate the extraction, comparison, or recommendations agents,

BluePond.AI uses a combination of classifiers and orchestrators.

• Lightweight classifiers analyze the document’s layout, structure, and metadata to generate a key signal. 

• Orchestrators, both rule-based and agent-driven, use the key signal to determine which agent to invoke, in what sequence, and how each should operate.

This modular routing system ensures that the right agents are activated at the right time, enabling seamless integration of new document types or agent capabilities without disrupting existing workflows.

From document to insight, built on trust 

At BluePond.AI, we’ve built a layered ecosystem of intelligent agents. Each agent is designed to play a specific role in transforming messy insurance documents into clean, trustworthy, decision-grade insights.

Our tools aren’t just about automation; they’re about serving intelligence with trust, precision, and domain expertise built in. Because in insurance, every insight must earn its place, and every decision starts with what you can trust.
