Guidewire Intel expands access with federated learning

Guidewire, a cloud software platform provider for the property and casualty insurance industry, has brought onboard engineers, data scientists, and federated machine learning technology from integrate.ai to help extend Guidewire’s Intel analytics capabilities to Tier 1 and Tier 2 insurance companies.

The move removes a long-standing barrier for major carriers. Major carriers have not previously had access to Guidewire Intel. Access required either a large-scale integration project or participation in a traditional data consortium that could expose sensitive information to competitors.

By incorporating Integrated.ai’s federated machine learning technology, Guidewire now enables even the industry’s largest insurance companies to train models on aggregated insights from across the P&C insurance ecosystem while keeping their data private on their own infrastructure.

Opening up Guidewire Intel to Tier 1 and Tier 2 carriers addresses several areas where even large insurance companies face data limitations. Despite having vast national datasets, large carriers often encounter regional and specialized data gaps at the state level, hindering efforts to penetrate or improve specific business areas. Relying solely on internal data can also prevent carriers from understanding broader market movements and emerging industry trends. Furthermore, it remains difficult to accurately model high-impact, but infrequent insured events. Because no single carrier has amassed enough disaggregated data to train reliable predictive AI for such scenarios.

Guidewire Intel is delivered through Guidewire’s cloud platform and is designed to address these challenges across the insurance lifecycle. The platform aims to give insurers access to high-fidelity, detailed data at scale, helping them treat data execution as a core business priority rather than a purely technical exercise.
