Afori and Versnavi: exclusive AI partnership for insurance brokers

Afori and Versnavi are entering into an exclusive partnership. We have natively integrated Versnavi's policy wording database, featuring around 20,000 policy wordings, into our AI platform for insurance brokers. This makes these policy wordings directly available to brokers in their day-to-day work.

A partner with decades of comparison experience

Versnavi, a service of VERS Versicherungsberater-Gesellschaft mbH from Oldenburg, is one of the established specialists for the neutral comparison of insurance policy wordings. Behind Versnavi is Hans-Hermann Lüschen, Managing Director and Shareholder. Since 2000, the company has been building a database that makes the policy wordings of numerous insurance companies comparable based on around 30 criteria. A special feature is the great historical depth: older products are also recorded, allowing changes in benefits to be tracked over the years. The database is continuously maintained and updated.

What the integration makes possible

With this integration, these policy wordings are an integral part of Afori. The AI evaluates them for every client case directly in the email inbox, the broker's familiar working environment. A prime example is a specialised AI agent that answers questions about products and cover. If, for instance, a claim is reported, it automatically checks whether it is covered, referencing the relevant section in the policy wordings. Beyond the approximately 20,000 policy wordings, this provides Afori with over 23 million individual data points, which an in-house machine learning team is using to develop further features. Versnavi continues to maintain and update the database.

Voices on the partnership

"We have been maintaining our policy wording database for over two decades with the ambition of making benefits comparable in a neutral and transparent way. The fact that this work is now being integrated into an AI platform and made available to brokers directly in their day-to-day work is a logical next step for us." Hans-Hermann Lüschen, Managing Director of Versnavi

"A reliable and neutral database does not appear overnight; it grows over years. In Versnavi, we have a partner that has built exactly this level of quality over many years. We are building on this with our AI, rather than reinventing the wheel." Fabian Wesemann, Founder and CEO of Afori
