Akur8 launches AI agents to streamline actuarial pricing. October 2, 2026 Akur8, the global actuarial AI platform provider, has rolled out Akur8 Agents, a new offering that embeds expert guidance and no-code automation into the day-to-day workflows of actuaries. The initial version, Akur8 Agents for pricing, is intended to help actuaries handle complex pricing tasks more quickly. It takes on repetitive jobs, brings useful insights to the surface and makes actuarial know-how more accessible. The agents operate inside the Akur8 platform and were developed by actuaries with actuaries in mind. Users keep full ownership of their analyses and decisions throughout. The agents can help design pricing structures, produce reports using reusable templates, write formulas suited to specific modelling requirements, review variable usage ahead of modelling, and apply filed rates within rating analyses. They can also import rating logic held in spreadsheets and other formats into Akur8 through an adaptable process that users can review. They link information across a project, summarise progress and activity, highlight context that may otherwise be difficult to locate, and assist with building visualisations. Guidance on Akur8 and insurance best practice is delivered within the workflow, kept current with software updates and offered in several languages. While the agents engage with the platform and advise on how to get the most from it, Akur8's existing actuarial and statistical engines still carry out the mathematical and modelling work. Actuaries continue to check outputs, interpret findings, exercise professional judgement and make the final calls. The company said generic AI tools can produce answers, but actuarial work requires outcomes that can be verified, explained and defended. Akur8 Agents are curated by the firm's Actuarial and Product teams and are underpinned by technology already relied upon by over 3,000 actuaries globally. Each Akur8 pricing module comes with its own dedicated agent, which teams can customise using ready-made expert skill templates or their own skills, without writing code. Global memory and instructions can also be configured so that every conversation follows shared guidance. The offering rests on four principles: actuarial expertise, explainable work with human oversight, native integration with existing Akur8 capabilities, and enterprise-grade trust. Akur8 stated that customer data is never used to train AI models and that the product complies with the EU AI Act. Rather than requiring insurers to construct an agent system from scratch, Akur8 is providing focused agents tied to tools customers already use, built on its cloud-native infrastructure, machine learning architecture and actuarial engines. The company intends to extend its expert agents to Reserving and Life. Akur8 offers a suite of actuarial solutions for insurers of all sizes across the Property and Casualty (P&C) and Life and Annuity (L&A) markets. It works with more than 350 customers in over 40 countries, including AXA, Generali, Munich Re, Europ Assistance, Tokio Marine and MS&AD, as well as TMNAS, FCCI, NEXT, HDVI, Wawanesa, SGI Canada, Facility Group and Canopius. Akur8 Agents for pricing are being showcased at ITC Vegas 2026. Akur8 CEO and co-founder Sam Falmagne said, "The next stage of actuarial AI is not about replacing actuaries or asking them to hand their work over to a black box. It's about giving them expert agents that can organize repeatable work, guide complex processes, and make the full power of the Akur8 platform easier to use. With Akur8 Agents, the actuarial engines continue to do the mathematical computations, actuaries continue to make the decisions, and the agents help bring everything together more efficiently, transparently, and securely."

Akur8 launches expert actuarial Agents for more efficient pricing work. Built on Akur8's actuarial platform, the new agents automate repeatable workflows, apply expert skills, and keep actuaries in control of every action. New York, NY September 29, 2026 Akur8, the global actuarial AI platform, today launched Akur8 Agents to bring expert guidance and no-code automation directly into actuarial workflows. The first release, Akur8 Agents for pricing, helps actuaries move through complex pricing work more efficiently by handling repeatable tasks, surfacing insights, and making actuarial expertise easier to access. Built by actuaries for actuaries, the agents work within the Akur8 platform, while actuaries retain complete control of their analyses and decisions. The launch is a major expansion of how actuaries can work with Akur8. * Akur8 Agents can interact with the platform and provide guidance on how to use it effectively. * Akur8's actuarial and statistical capabilities continue to perform the mathematical and modeling work. * Actuaries remain responsible for reviewing output, interpreting results, applying professional judgment, and making final decisions. Akur8 Agents build on the cloud-native infrastructure, machine learning architecture, actuarial engines, and statistical capabilities customers already know and trust. Rather than asking insurers to build an agent system from a blank canvas, Akur8 gives teams focused agents connected to the products and actuarial capabilities they already use. Akur8 plans to expand its expert agents across Reserving and Life, extending the same approach to additional actuarial workflows. Making repeatable pricing work more efficient. Akur8 Agents for pricing are designed around practical, repeatable workflows. They can help build pricing structures, create reports from reusable templates, develop formulas tailored to a modeling need, check variable usage before modeling begins, and use filed rates in rating analyses. They can also bring rating logic from spreadsheets and other formats into Akur8 through a flexible, reviewable process. The agents connect information across a project, summarize progress and activity, surface hard-to-find context, and help create visualizations. They also make Akur8 and insurance best practices available in the flow of work, with knowledge that updates alongside the software and is available in multiple languages. Expert actuarial agents rather than generic AI. General-purpose AI can generate answers, but actuarial work demands results that are verifiable, explainable, and defensible. Akur8 Agents are curated by Akur8's Actuarial and Product teams and shaped around the workflows actuaries run every day. They're grounded in the same actuarial and statistical technology already trusted by more than 3,000 actuaries worldwide. Teams start with an agent built for each Akur8 pricing module. As their needs evolve, they can tailor it with ready-to-use expert skill templates or their own custom skills, with no code required. They can also set global memory and instructions that apply to every conversation, so the agent follows shared guidance consistently. The result: a fast, reliable starting point that grows with each team's use cases. Akur8 Agents are designed around four principles: * Actuarial expertise: Agents and skills are built for real pricing workflows and backed by Akur8's actuarial and analytical capabilities. * Explainable work with human control: Users can follow the reasoning behind each result, inspect the underlying work, review and edit outputs, and approve changes before anything is executed. * Native integration: Agents select and coordinate existing Akur8 capabilities while Akur8's underlying engines perform the calculations and modeling. * Enterprise trust: Akur8 Agents are private and secure by design. Customer data is never used to train AI models, and the offering is compliant with the EU AI Act. Management comments.
