From Doug A.I. Grows In Insurance: An Example Artificial intelligence continues to evolve as its deployment in the insurance industry grows in both breadth and depth. Wisedocs caught my eye a couple of years ago when they submitted a nomination for an Insurance-Canada.ca Insurance Technology Award (ICTA). Only months after Gen AI became available for general use, Wisedocs represented a specific use case, a fleshed-out application specifically addressing medical claims for insurance carriers, TPAs, law firms, medical evaluators, and government programs. Since then, the product has continued to evolve. Last week, Wisedocs 2.0 – a rebuild – was announced. It leverages AI technologies, AI agents and Agentic systems and builds builds on Wisedocs' expert-in-the-loop architecture keeping human expertise central to every decision. The platform centers on three core capabilities that prepare claims data, surface risk insights, and enable secure collaboration across the claims ecosystem. • Summarize the inputs with WisePrep; • Answer questions using WiseChat; • Provides insights through a series of analyzers called WiseInsights; • WiseShare supports broader collaboration. All in all, Wisedocs 2.0 is a good example of how people using modern technology and quality data are creating intelligence capital, improving today's claims function and preparing for tomorrow.
