A geospatial insurance operating system – built for underwriting, not dashboards.
Agi3 turns farm and field data into a trusted system-of-record and runs the full workflow: underwriting → pricing → policy admin → in-season monitoring → claims integrity → actuarial repricing. AI is embedded at decision points, governed by access controls and audit trails, and improved through a closed-loop feedback cycle each season.
Our differentiator:
Agi3 is not a bolt-on analytics tool. It’s the operating system that connects the field to the policy—so decisions are consistent, documentation is clean, and performance improves over time across the entire portfolio.
Built on a growing farm/field data asset and proprietary, patent-pending methods for geospatial risk scoring, in-season monitoring, and claims integrity.
How it works
A simple, end-to-end workflow – designed for scale:
- ➤
Ingest & validate farm/field inputs into a geospatial system-of-record - ➤
Underwrite using consistent risk drivers and a decision trail - ➤
Price & structure eligible options (triggers, layers, limits) - ➤
Admin & service policies in one workspace - ➤
Monitor in-season conditions and build claim-ready evidence - ➤
Close the loop by feeding outcomes into repricing and product improvement
The Evolution of Agi3
Need for better technology in the Agri Insurance space
Our founders observed the need for better technology in the Agri Insurance space and understood how this lack of progress is impacting farmers, with lower overall coverage and the inability to tailor coverage to their increasingly complex needs.
Partnership with AIRM Consulting
A strategic partnership was formed with AIRM Consulting, the industry’s first agriculture-focused full-stack artificial intelligence company. AIRM Consulting has spent more than a decade creating artificial intelligence models specific to agriculture.
Agi3 was formed
In 2021 a leadership team was established that includes almost a century of cross-industry expertise, from agriculture, risk management and technology.
