About
ZestyAI is an enterprise-grade AI platform that transforms how property and casualty insurers assess risk and make decisions. At its core is the ZestyAI Platform — a decision intelligence engine that ingests billions of data points to produce accurate, defensible risk scores and property insights at scale. The platform offers a suite of AI-powered Risk Models covering wildfire, hail, wind, severe storm, non-weather water, and more. These models are validated by top carriers and accepted by regulators, giving insurers confidence in every decision they automate. Property Insights capabilities deliver granular, address-level intelligence including roof age, property condition, and structural attributes — eliminating the need for costly manual inspections. The Competitive Intelligence module (ZORRO) provides market trend data, peer benchmarks, and proprietary signals to keep insurers ahead of the competition. ZestyAI serves three core insurance audiences: Underwriting Teams benefit from instant risk decisioning for new business and renewals; Actuarial and Pricing Teams use it to build precise, regulatory-ready rating models; and Executive and Risk Leaders leverage it for portfolio concentration analysis and reinsurance strategy. By combining advanced computer vision, geospatial AI, and climate science, ZestyAI enables carriers to grow safely, price accurately, and operate efficiently in an era of increasing climate volatility. It is trusted by leading U.S. insurance carriers and has regulatory approvals across multiple states.
