Verisk brings insurance data to Amazon Quick and Microsoft Copilot, expands Claude offerings

Verisk (Nasdaq: VRSK) has added integrations with Amazon Quick and Microsoft Copilot, and expanded its offerings within Claude by Anthropic. The moves give insurers more ways to reach its proprietary insurance data inside the AI tools they already use. Eligible customers can access ISO Loss Costs and Premium Audit Advisory Service (PAAS) content through both new integrations. In Claude, Verisk Underwriting Intelligence now includes PAAS resources, plus a new Verisk Benchmark connector for property-level hail and wind history. Existing content entitlements, permissions and governance controls still apply. "AI is most valuable when it helps insurance professionals get relevant, reliable information when they need it," said Saurabh Khemka, president of Verisk Underwriting Solutions.

Verisk Analytics (NASDAQ:VRSK) trades more than 40% below its 52-week high of $322.92, and bulls argue the market undervalues the insurance data provider.
