Founded in London in 2018, Sprout.ai was born from a simple belief: insurers should be there for policyholders in their time of need. Long delays, manual processes and outdated systems meant customers were often left waiting weeks for outcomes at their most vulnerable moments. We set out to change that.

Today, Sprout.ai is redefining insurance automation for insurers. Acting as the intelligence layer at the heart of operations, we bring advanced AI, digitisation, and data-driven processes to transform how claims and underwriting decisions are made.

Our mission is to make every interaction between insurers and policyholders accurate, fast, and fair, and our vision is to become the world’s most trusted insurance intelligence partner, powering billions of safe, explainable decisions for global insurers.

Sprout.ai integrates seamlessly into existing systems to deliver real-time claims automation and actionable insights, enabling expert teams to focus on complex cases with speed and empathy. Insurers use our platform to overcome legacy challenges, cost pressures, fraud risk, and regulatory demands, achieving tangible results including:

• Up to two-thirds of claims processed automatically

• 99% accuracy

• Significant gains in customer satisfaction and operational efficiency

Backed by leading insurers and recognised with industry awards and ISO 27001 certification, Sprout,ai is the insurance intelligence automation platform injecting insights into claims and underwriting — changing insurance, for good.
