Built on Akur8's actuarial platform, the new agents automate repeatable workflows, apply expert skills, and keep actuaries in control of every action.

Akur8, the global actuarial AI platform, today launched Akur8 Agents to bring expert guidance and no-code automation directly into actuarial workflows. The first release, Akur8 Agents for pricing, helps actuaries move through complex pricing work more efficiently by handling repeatable tasks, surfacing insights, and making actuarial expertise easier to access. Built by actuaries for actuaries, the agents work within the Akur8 platform, while actuaries retain complete control of their analyses and decisions.

The launch is a major expansion of how actuaries can work with Akur8. 

• Akur8 Agents can interact with the platform and provide guidance on how to use it effectively.
• Akur8’s actuarial and statistical capabilities continue to perform the mathematical and modeling work. 
• Actuaries remain responsible for reviewing output, interpreting results, applying professional judgment, and making final decisions.

Akur8 Agents build on the cloud-native infrastructure, machine learning architecture, actuarial engines, and statistical capabilities customers already know and trust. Rather than asking insurers to build an agent system from a blank canvas, Akur8 gives teams focused agents connected to the products and actuarial capabilities they already use. Akur8 plans to expand its expert agents across Reserving and Life, extending the same approach to additional actuarial workflows.

Making Repeatable Pricing Work More Efficient

Akur8 Agents for pricing are designed around practical, repeatable workflows. They can help build pricing structures, create reports from reusable templates, develop formulas tailored to a modeling need, check variable usage before modeling begins, and use filed rates in rating analyses. They can also bring rating logic from spreadsheets and other formats into Akur8 through a flexible, reviewable process.

The agents connect information across a project, summarize progress and activity, surface hard-to-find context, and help create visualizations. They also make Akur8 and insurance best practices available in the flow of work, with knowledge that updates alongside the software and is available in multiple languages.

Expert Actuarial Agents Rather Than Generic AI

General-purpose AI can generate answers, but actuarial work demands results that are verifiable, explainable, and defensible. 

Akur8 Agents are curated by Akur8's Actuarial and Product teams and shaped around the workflows actuaries run every day. They're grounded in the same actuarial and statistical technology already trusted by more than 3,000 actuaries worldwide. 

Teams start with an agent built for each Akur8 pricing module. As their needs evolve, they can tailor it with ready-to-use expert skill templates or their own custom skills, with no code required. They can also set global memory and instructions that apply to every conversation, so the agent follows shared guidance consistently.

The result: a fast, reliable starting point that grows with each team's use cases.

Akur8 Agents are designed around four principles:

• Actuarial expertise: Agents and skills are built for real pricing workflows and backed by Akur8’s actuarial and analytical capabilities.
• Explainable work with human control:  Users can follow the reasoning behind each result, inspect the underlying work, review and edit outputs, and approve changes before anything is executed.
• Native integration: Agents select and coordinate existing Akur8 capabilities while Akur8’s underlying engines perform the calculations and modeling.
• Enterprise trust: Akur8 Agents are private and secure by design. Customer data is never used to train AI models, and the offering is compliant with the EU AI Act.

Management Comments

Sam Falmagne, CEO and Co-founder, Akur8

“The next stage of actuarial AI is not about replacing actuaries or asking them to hand their work over to a black box. It’s about giving them expert agents that can organize repeatable work, guide complex processes, and make the full power of the Akur8 platform easier to use. With Akur8 Agents, the actuarial engines continue to do the mathematical computations, actuaries continue to make the decisions, and the agents help bring everything together more efficiently, transparently, and securely.”
