Deep Thinking Digest – April 2026

Cogitating on insurance  Vol. 3, No. 1

Spring is here, and Q2 is shaping up to be one of our busiest quarters yet. In this issue, we highlight an underwriting tool that’s been getting a lot of attention, share fresh thought leadership from our team, and give you a preview of where to find us at upcoming industry events.

On the product side, our 2026 roadmap continues to accelerate, with our comprehensive data initiative and new AI Agents advancing across the platform. We’ll share more in upcoming newsletters, and as always, we welcome the chance to connect directly for a demo of what’s new.

We extend a big ‘thank you’ to our customers in attendance at our first Product and AI Steering Committee meeting in March. We gained insightful feedback on new dashboards and AI use cases, critical to aligning innovation with market needs. This committee was formed with attendees from our 2025 Leadership Summit. As plans solidify for our next leadership gathering, you’ll be the first to know!

Happy reading! ✨
