The Hurdles of Adapting GenAI in Small P&C Insurance Agencies The real blockers and how BluePond.AI ’s broker-first thinking can fix them Generative AI is making headlines across industries, but most small P&C insurance agencies aren’t feeling the impact. While industries rush to embrace GenAI, many independent and mid-sized P&C agencies are left wondering: Where’s the real value for us? The problem isn’t with AI. It’s with how most GenAI tools are built, with large agency and enterprise operations in mind. That leaves smaller agencies stuck with complex platforms, bloated features, and tech that doesn’t align with how they actually work. At BluePond.AI , we’ve seen these hurdles first-hand. So we built Broker CoPilot to overcome them. Here’s what’s really getting in the way of GenAI adoption in small P&C agencies and how Broker CoPilot solves it. In this blog, we break down: Why GenAI adoption is still low in small P&C insurance agencies The top hurdles: bloated ...

The hidden cost of waiting? Lost time. Stalled teams. Eroded trust.

  The hidden cost of waiting? Lost time. Stalled teams. Eroded trust. When agencies say “Not now,” I understand. I’ve been there.  I hear it all the time: “ We like the tech. Just… not now.”  If you’re leading an agency, you’ve probably said it. If you’re on the service side, you’ve definitely heard it. And honestly? I get it.

Is STP in Insurance a reality or a myth?

Is STP in Insurance a reality or a myth? The illusion of end-to-end automation Straight Through Processing, or STP, has become a magic phrase in insurance boardrooms. The concept is simple: submissions come in, quotes go out, policies are issued, and claims are processed, all without human involvement. Fully touchless. Seamless. Scalable. The problem is, the closer you get to actual operations, especially in commercial and specialty P&C, the more this vision starts to fall apart. Despite years of tech investment, STP remains stubbornly out of reach. And it’s not due to a lack of ambition. It’s because insurance processes, particularly in underwriting, claims, and policy checking, are layered, judgment-driven, and document-heavy. They were never built to be automated from start to finish. Why STP in P&C still fails to deliver There are three reasons why STP often breaks down before it even gets going. Document complexity : Insurance documents are unpredictable. Underwriters and ...
