Who we work with/Insurance brokers

Insurance brokers

AI agents for broking teams, built around renewals, submissions and claims.

Agents that start on their own ahead of a renewal date, when a risk is ready for market or a claim goes quiet, do the preparation and chasing, then stop for the broker to approve. Built in your own Microsoft 365.

FiveForward builds AI agents for UK insurance brokers inside their own Microsoft 365: renewal preparation that starts a set number of days before the renewal date, submission pack assembly, claims chasing and meeting notes, while placement decisions, advice and sign-off stay with the broker.

Broking work is heavy in exactly the areas agents handle well: assembling files, drafting correspondence, chasing and turning calls into notes. Renewals, submissions and claims all leave a long trail of email and documents, and much of that trail is repeatable work.

The useful agents run on the broking calendar. A renewal agent starts a set number of days before the renewal date; a claims agent starts when a claim has gone quiet for too long. They do the preparation in your own Microsoft 365, then stop for the broker.

Placement decisions, advice on cover and anything a client relies on stay with a named person. The agent prepares the file; the broker decides.

Run an accountancy firm? The accountancy page has the detail: six accountancy agents, what starts each one and where your team approves.

The agents

Four agents that run in a broking office.

Each one starts from the file or the calendar and stops for the broker.

Renewal preparation

Starts when
A set number of days before the renewal date.
What it does
Assembles the file summary, expiring terms, claims history and open queries, and drafts the renewal invitation for the broker.
Where a person approves
The broker checks cover detail and tone before anything goes to the client.

Submission pack assembly

Starts when
The broker marks a risk ready for market.
What it does
Pulls the proposal form, schedules, file notes and previous placements into a submission pack in your template.
Where a person approves
The broker sharpens the risk story and approves the pack before it goes to market.

Claims chasing

Starts when
A claim has had no update for the period you set.
What it does
Drafts the chaser to the insurer or loss adjuster and a status update for the client, and logs the next step on the file.
Where a person approves
The broker or claims handler approves each chaser, or lets them send on an agreed schedule.

Meeting notes

Starts when
A client meeting or call ends.
What it does
Drafts the file note in your template from the transcript, with the actions and any changed circumstances.
Where a person approves
The broker approves the note before it is filed.
Runs on a ready-made agent

What to watch

Where agents go wrong, and how we avoid it.

  • Client and policy data pasted into public AI tools because the firm has no agent doing the same job in its own Microsoft 365
  • An agent's summary of a wording treated as the wording itself, so a cover detail gets missed
  • Shared mailboxes and open folders with broad permissions, so an agent people talk to surfaces client material beyond the file team
  • An agent built on file data nobody trusts, which gives shaky answers until brokers quietly stop using it

Your data and who approves

Built in your Microsoft 365. Approved by your team.

You decide what each agent may do on its own and where a person has to approve. By default, anything that goes to a client or raises a bill waits for one of your team.

Built in your Microsoft 365

Agents are built in your own Microsoft 365, and your own Azure subscription where a job needs it, not on our servers. We don't host your data.

Agents you talk to see what you can see

An agent your team talks to only sees what the person using it can already see.

Agents that run use a service account

Agents that run on their own use a dedicated service account. Its access is limited to the mailboxes, folders and systems the job needs, agreed with you in advance.

Every run is logged

Every run is logged: what came in, what the agent did and who approved it.

What it costs

Fixed prices, agreed before anything is built.

Microsoft's own usage charges, such as Copilot Credits, are billed by Microsoft to your firm, separately from our fees. All prices exclude VAT.

Rather your own team learned to do more of this themselves? Training is hands-on and built around your firm's own processes, from using Copilot in day-to-day work through to building their own agents, with no Discover needed first.

Is our client data safe with AI agents?
We build agents in your own Microsoft 365, not on our servers, and we don't host your data. An agent your team talks to only sees what the person using it can already see. Agents that run on their own use a dedicated service account, limited to the mailboxes, folders and systems the job needs, agreed with you in advance. We build in UK regions wherever Microsoft offers them, and anything that has to run elsewhere is set out for your compliance lead to approve before go-live. Microsoft doesn't use your Microsoft 365 content to train its foundation models, and every run is logged. Broking files hold sensitive client and claims information, so we check permissions before any agent works on your files.
Can an agent read and summarise policy wordings?
Yes. An agent can summarise wordings, schedules and endorsements and pull out the points worth checking before a client call. The summary is preparation, not the policy. Any statement to a client about cover is checked against the document itself.
Which agents suit a broking office first?
Renewal preparation is usually the strongest candidate, because it runs on a date you already know. Claims chasing and meeting notes follow close behind. If you're not sure, Discover confirms the order for your firm, based on volume, source data and who owns each task.
Will agents work with our broking system?
Most agents start from something every system can produce: a scheduled report or an export saved to a folder or emailed to a shared mailbox. Where the system allows a direct connection, the agent can pull data straight from it, and where we can't write back, the agent raises a task for a person instead. The broking system stays the system of record.
Do agents help with FCA record-keeping?
They make file notes, call summaries and claims correspondence quicker to produce and more consistent, and every run is logged. Responsibility for compliance stays with the firm. An agent is an aid to the record, never a substitute for it.
Will agents replace brokers?
No. Agents take the preparation around the file off your team: assembling summaries, drafting correspondence and chasing. Placement decisions, advice on cover and anything a client relies on keep a named person responsible.
What do AI agents cost for a broking firm?
The first step is a free 30-minute call. Builds are from £2,500, typically £2,500 to £15,000, fixed before anything is built. Discover, if you're not sure yet where agents would help, is £1,500 fixed, covering Design and credited back in full once your follow-on work passes £3,500 (ex VAT) within 90 days. Once live, your agents are looked after under Care at £295 a month for one live agent, or Embed from £750 a month covering up to three. Microsoft bills its own usage to your firm.
How do we get started?
Book a free 30-minute call. No pitch and no obligation. If you already know what you want, such as renewal preparation, we scope it on the free call and the specification is included in the fixed build price. If you'd rather your team learned to build, training never needs Discover first. Discover is for firms that aren't sure yet where agents would help. Discover ends with a plan, played back in about an hour, where you choose the route and the price is fixed.
