Our take

Sprout.ai is a claims automation solution harnessing the power of contextual AI to revolutionise the insurance claims experience for global insurers and their consumers. It aids decision-making and helps triage and process claims better and faster, reducing processing time from weeks to hours.

The huge time saving it offers has helped the company attract attention from a number of large insurers across the world, including Zurich. It now has deployments across three continents, including Europe, South America and APAC. Sprout.ai’s technology is an industry first bringing much needed modernity to an industry that has classically been slowed down by workflow problems and stunted communication.
