FM Scores Every Broker Submission on Arrival with Agentic AI on Microsoft Azure

Challenge

FM, one of the world’s largest commercia and industrial property insurers, evaluates thousands of broker submissions a year across more than 30 global offices. Each arrives by email as inconsistent, unstructured attachments: spreadsheets in dozens of formats, ACORD forms, and scanned PDFs, often in multiple languages. Underwriters had to triage, extract, and re-key every field into FM’s risk-scoring service before an account could even be evaluated. That administrative work slowed responses to brokers and meant strong risks could be missed or declined late.

‍

Solution

Nimble Gravity designed and built FM’s AI Powered Submissions natively on Microsoft Azure AI Foundry inside FM’s own tenant. Six specialized agents handle intake, extraction of 300+ fields across50+ spreadsheet formats, enrichment, scoring through FM’s risk models, report generation, and broker communication. Underwriters review only the exceptions in a purpose-built human-in-the-loop console, and confidence gates route anything uncertain to a person. The platform passed FM’s EnterpriseArchitecture Review Board and went from contract to production in 24 weeks.

AI-Powered Submissions shows how we're using AI at FM to strengthen the way our people work. By automating key parts of submission intake, the platform gives our underwriters more time to focus on what matters most: applying their expertise and judgment. Microsoft Azure gave us a secure, scalable foundation, and Nimble Gravity brought the technical depth and collaboration to turn that vision into an enterprise solution that's already delivering meaningful value for our underwriters.

Nimble Gravity has become a key partner for Microsoft’s Financial Services Industry team, turning FM’s submission intake into a high-accuracy, production-grade AI system built natively on Azure AI Foundry. Their ability to take an agentic architecture from pilot to enterprise scale, with the accuracy and governance FSI customers demand, is exactly the kind of partner-led innovation we want to see more of across financial services.
