Vertafore’s Latest AI Innovations Help Agencies Accelerate Carrier Statement Reconciliation and Turn Outlook Activity Into Structured Workflows

New Vertafore Velocity AI agents eliminate long-standing sources of distribution drag in core agency operations

DENVER – June 30, 2026 – Vertafore®, the leader in modern insurance technology, today released two new Vertafore Velocity™ AI agents to empower independent agencies to move work through their business faster by reducing manual effort in two of the industry's most time-consuming operational areas.

Built into Vertafore’s AgencyOne®, the Velocity AI Email Agent and Velocity AI Reconciliation Agent streamline workflows that consume hours of agency staff time every day while keeping agency professionals in control for review, approval, and exception handling. The new agents are designed to help teams shift resources back to client service, business growth, and higher-value decision-making.

Turning email into action

For many agency professionals, email is where much of their work happens. Teams spend hours each day fielding messages, locating related records, creating and routing tasks, and updating their agency management system.

Vertafore's Velocity AI Email Agent transforms Outlook into an intelligent workspace. Initially supporting the creation of activities and suspenses, the agent understands the intent behind inbound communications, extracts key information, matches it to the right client and policy, and recommends the next step directly in the user’s inbox.

Agency professionals remain in control, reviewing and approving recommendations before work is finalized. By turning emails into workflows, the Email Agent helps agencies improve accuracy, accelerate service, and drive more efficient operations. Based on testing and feedback from early users, the Email Agent reduces email processing time by up to 80%, with up to 98% accuracy.

“My team lives in their email all day long, and one of our biggest friction points is getting that information into our AMS,” said Ashley DeCarteret, principal agency owner of Harbor Brenn Insurance Agencies. “The Email Agent addresses that by quickly and efficiently moving data into the system where it’s supposed to be, making it visible and accessible across our agency instead of locked away in individual inboxes. It helps ensure work is documented, shared and available to the whole team.”

Process carrier statements in minutes

Today, agencies spend hours of highly skilled staff time reconciling carrier statements. A single statement can contain hundreds or thousands of line items. Teams must manually review each line, compare transactions against agency records, identify discrepancies, and determine what requires follow-up—often at month-end when workloads are at their highest.

The Velocity AI Reconciliation Agent automates direct bill reconciliation by ingesting carrier statements in supported formats, matching transactions against client and policy data, and surfacing exceptions that require human review. This allows agencies to process and reconcile statements without the hands-on searching and comparison they face today. The Reconciliation Agent also helps agencies quickly and seamlessly communicate issues to their carrier partners for faster resolution. 

“Processing carrier statements is incredibly manual and it involves a lot of basic data entry,” said Russ Turrentine, vice president at Turrentine Insurance Agency, Inc. “The Reconciliation Agent reads the statement, interprets the data, and does the heavy lifting for you. You still want people reviewing commissions and making sure everything is correct, but the system can handle the repetitive work of finding the right policy and putting information where it belongs. That lets our team focus on the things that actually require human judgment.”

The Reconciliation Agent reduces statement processing from up to an hour to just minutes. Testing and feedback from early users show up to 90% time-savings with 94% accuracy, allowing accounting teams to focus on resolving exceptions and spend more time supporting the business.

Accelerating the pace of AI innovation in insurance

Built on the Vertafore Velocity AI Platform, the Email Agent and Reconciliation Agent are the most recent examples of how Vertafore is bringing AI directly into core insurance workflows. The platform serves as the innovation foundation behind Vertafore’s growing portfolio of AI agents, powering secure and scalable AI development across the company’s core product families: AgencyOne, MGA solutions and Sircon®. Velocity AI enables Vertafore to design, build and deliver new AI capabilities faster, accelerating the pace of innovation.

“Two months ago, we introduced the Vertafore Velocity AI Platform, our first AI agents, and our vision for bringing agentic AI into insurance,” said James Thom, chief product officer at Vertafore. “Today, we continue to deliver on that vision with new AI agents that automate some of the biggest friction points agencies face every day so their teams can focus on the clients, decisions and relationships that drive their business.”

“It’s clear Vertafore is genuinely focused on improving agency workflows, reducing the manual drain and continuing to innovate at an impressive pace,” DeCarteret noted.

Vertafore’s latest innovations reflect how the company is taking the insurance industry from friction to flow, eliminating distribution drag across the value chain to help agencies, MGAs and carriers achieve Distribution Velocity—speed with intentional outcomes—within and across insurance workflows. Agentic AI is key to Vertafore’s focus with AI innovation that helps the industry adapt faster and grow smarter.

Frequently asked questions

How can independent insurance agencies automate repetitive administrative work?
Independent insurance agencies spend a significant amount of time on repetitive administrative tasks such as processing incoming emails, organizing documents, reconciling carrier statements, and updating agency systems. As agencies grow, these manual workflows can limit productivity and reduce the time employees spend serving clients.
Insurance-specific AI helps automate these routine tasks by working within existing agency workflows rather than requiring employees to switch between multiple systems. Vertafore's Velocity AI Email Agent helps process incoming emails and associated documents, while the Velocity AI Reconciliation Agent automates key accounting workflows related to carrier statements. Together, these AI agents help agencies reduce manual work, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate Distribution Velocity while keeping employees in control through a human-in-the-loop approach.
What is AI-powered email processing for insurance agencies?
Insurance agencies receive hundreds of emails each week from clients, carriers, and business partners. Reviewing messages, opening attachments, identifying the correct policy or customer, and routing work to the right employee often requires significant manual effort.
AI-powered email processing automates these repetitive tasks by reading incoming emails, classifying requests, extracting relevant information, and preparing work for agency staff. When embedded into agency management workflows, insurance-specific AI helps agencies respond faster, improve consistency, and reduce time spent on administrative work while allowing employees to focus on customer service and relationship management.
How can insurance agencies simplify carrier statement reconciliation?
Reconciling carrier statements is an essential accounting function for independent insurance agencies, but it is often a manual, time-consuming process. Agency accounting teams frequently compare carrier statements against agency records to identify discrepancies, verify commissions, and ensure financial accuracy.
AI-powered reconciliation helps automate much of this comparison process by matching transactions, identifying potential exceptions, and organizing information for review. Vertafore's Velocity AI Reconciliation Agent helps agencies streamline this workflow while keeping accounting professionals responsible for reviewing exceptions and finalizing reconciliations. This human-in-the-loop approach improves efficiency without sacrificing financial accuracy.
What is human-in-the-loop AI, and why is it important for independent agents?
Human-in-the-loop AI combines automation with professional oversight. AI performs repetitive work such as processing emails, organizing information, and reconciling data, while independent agents review the results and make final business decisions.
This approach is particularly important in insurance, where customer service, financial accuracy, and compliance require human expertise. Rather than replacing agency professionals, insurance-specific AI helps eliminate repetitive administrative work so employees can focus on advising clients, resolving complex issues, and growing the business. Vertafore's Velocity AI Platform is built around this philosophy, embedding AI into everyday agency workflows while keeping people at the center of decision making.
