Tinubu, a leading provider of digital solutions for the specialty insurance and surety markets, today announced the launch of its AI-native underwriting platform, designed to transform how specialty insurers assess risk, price policies, and manage their underwriting portfolios.

The new platform represents a fundamental shift from traditional rule-based automation to a fully AI-driven underwriting environment. Built from the ground up with artificial intelligence at its core, the solution enables underwriters to process complex risks faster, with greater consistency and accuracy, while maintaining the human expertise that specialty lines demand.

Key capabilities of the platform include:

– AI-powered risk scoring and appetite matching
– Automated document ingestion and data extraction from submissions
– Dynamic pricing recommendations based on real-time portfolio analytics
– Integrated workflow orchestration across the underwriting lifecycle
– Full auditability and explainability of AI-driven decisions to support regulatory compliance

The platform is designed for carriers, managing general agents (MGAs), and Lloyd’s syndicates operating in complex specialty lines including trade credit, surety, political risk, and financial lines.

“Specialty insurance has long been underserved by generic technology platforms that were never built for the complexity and nuance these markets require,” said Jérôme Pezé, CEO of Tinubu. “Our AI-native platform changes that. We have built something that genuinely understands the language of specialty risk — not just the data, but the judgment calls that experienced underwriters make every day.”

The launch follows significant investment in Tinubu’s AI research and development capabilities over the past two years, including the expansion of its data science team and the integration of large language model technology into its core underwriting engine.

Tinubu’s platform is available immediately to new and existing clients, with implementation programmes tailored to individual carrier and MGA requirements.
