The agent helps underwriters review policy changes, with internal testing showing a 70% reduction in review time and a 98% drop in errors.\n\nThe agent parses incoming change requests, extracts relevant data, compares renewal and endorsement applications to existing policy information, and presents differences in plain language. Underwriters still review and edit the AI‑generated summaries before saving them to the application record.\n\nVertafore previewed the agent on September 24, 2026, and expects general availability in the fall. The agent joins five other Velocity AI agents for MGAs, fitting into a Digital Underwriter strategy that spans submission intake, risk gathering, quoting, binding and servicing.","keyPoints":["Velocity Change Request Agent cuts review time by 70% and errors by 98% in internal tests.","Agent compares renewal and endorsement applications to existing policy data and outputs plain‑language summaries.","Vertafore previewed the agent on September 24, 2026, with general availability expected in the fall."],"whyItMatters":"The agent streamlines policy‑change reviews for MGAs, cutting manual comparison work and error risk.
