Verisk Analytics announced that its insurance‑analytics platform will be accessible within Anthropic’s Claude AI models through standardized Verisk Model Context Protocol connectors, allowing insurers and property‑restoration professionals to retrieve data and insights conversationally in a secure, governed environment.
The integration introduces two initial connectors: Verisk Underwriting Intelligence (ISO Indications) and Verisk XactRestore. Underwriting users can expect hundreds of hours of time savings per carrier each year, while restoration professionals can reduce estimate preparation from 30 minutes to two hours per job.
Strategically, the partnership extends Verisk’s AI‑powered decision‑intelligence platform into a leading generative‑AI ecosystem, broadening its customer base and reinforcing its competitive moat. Anthropic gains a trusted data partner that enhances the reliability and explainability of its models, aligning with Verisk’s commitment to responsible AI deployment and data governance.
Verisk’s Q1 2026 results provide context for the partnership: revenue rose 3.9% year‑over‑year to $783 million, and diluted adjusted EPS of $1.82 beat estimates by $0.05. CFO Elizabeth Mann noted that the quarter delivered organic constant‑currency revenue growth of 4.7% and OCC adjusted EBITDA growth of 5.9%, while executing a $1.5 billion accelerated share‑repurchase program and continuing to invest in the business.
CEO Lee Shavel emphasized the partnership’s alignment with Verisk’s core values: "Trust is the foundation of insurance, and that doesn't change as new technologies emerge. What is changing is how professionals expect to interact with information. Our role is to bring AI into insurance in a way that reflects the realities of the industry – where data must be authoritative, decisions must be explainable, and accountability remains with people. This collaboration with Anthropic applies a conversational interface to Verisk's governed analytics so professionals can work more efficiently, while upholding the industry's high standards."
