Indemn, which began as an insurtech platform, built and launched the program in 2021-2022 as a real-world test for generative AI in insurance.
Following the sale, Indemn will focus on being an AI-agent builder in the insurance industry.
It has the only human-in-the-loop sales and service AI-powered agent (Copilot) enabling continuous AI model improvement, according to the company.
Jewelers Mutual Group said the acquisition of EventGuard enhances its ability to connect customers with coverage that reflects their day-to-day realities and future aspirations.
The insurance company said it remains focused on providing solutions that are flexible, accessible, and aligned with consumers’ lifestyles.
