ZestyAI, the leader in AI-powered climate and property risk analytics, announced that Z-FIRE™, its advanced wildfire risk model, is filing-ready in California. Z-FIRE can continue to be filed for rate segmentation and underwriting without further review under the Pre-Application Required Information Determination (PRID) process, which is currently focused on models that determine a catastrophe load factor. Z-FIRE was last included in an approved California rate filing in 2024.Z-FIRE leverages AI-driven analysis of over 2,000 historical wildfires, integrating satellite and aerial imagery, topography, and property-level characteristics to provide precise risk assessments. This approach is rooted in decades of science and experimentation by researchers, including the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS). With coverage spanning nearly 100% of U.S. properties, Z-FIRE is already trusted by more than one-third of California’s insurance market, including the CA FAIR Plan, the state’s insurer of last resort, to refine underwriting, enhance risk segmentation, and ensure that premiums accurately reflect the true wildfire exposure and vulnerability of each individual structure.“For years, leading insurers have trusted ZestyAI to manage wildfire exposure in California and refine pricing segmentation with precision,” said Attila Toth, Founder and CEO of ZestyAI
ZestyAI, the leading provider of climate and property risk analytics solutions powered by AI, has partnered with American Farmers & Ranchers Mutual Insurance Company (AFR), a trusted name in rural insurance in Oklahoma for over 100 years.The partnership leverages ZestyAI’s aerial imagery and risk modeling solutions to enhance AFR’s property risk assessment and streamline underwriting processes. With nearly 100% aerial imagery coverage across the contiguous U.S., ZestyAI’s platform delivers superior hit rates, unparalleled image quality, and peril-specific risk models for wildfire,wind, and hail—empowering AFR to assess risk at a granular, property-specific level.Kimball Lynn, Director of Underwriting & Operations at AFR, said: “While our primary focus was aerial imagery, we quickly realized that ZestyAI’s solutions for assessing peril-specific risks like wind, hail, and wildfire made them a multifaceted underwriting solution. In Oklahoma, where wind and hail are constants, their severe convective storm risk-scoring capabilities stood out.”He added, “We also valued their broader coverage footprint and more consistent image quality. The shift to more accurate, up-to-date imagery has improved our underwriting approach. ZestyAI’s training and platform are intuitive, which made for a smooth adoption, and the onboarding experience and ongoing support have made for a strong partnership so far.”Carriers often face challenges with aerial imagery providers covering only 75%-80% of the U.S., leaving gaps in rural areas and outdated visuals. ZestyAI solves this by integrating data from all major aerial imagery providers, achieving nearly 100% hit rates with more recent imagery
