View company profile

Gradient A.I. provides artificial intelligence-driven SaaS solutions exclusively for the insurance industry. We can improve your company's underwriting by helping you more accurately identify the risks inherent in new and renewal applications, and we can improve your claims management by helping you more accurately identify the claims that pose the most risk.

Years of experience in the game.

Gradient A.I. was founded in 2012 within one of the world's largest actuarial consulting firms. Its initial mission was to use cutting edge artificial intelligence solutions to identify "creeping catastrophic" workers compensation claims early enough to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. From that singular beginning, the company built a suite of products to address host of claims and underwriting issues.

In 2018, Gradient A.I. was spun out as an independent company to replicate that product suite across all the other insurance lines, including commercial, personal, group health, and life insurance. Based in the Boston, Massachusetts Seaport District, the company is backed by blue chip insurance industry investors.
