Guidewire Olos Release Enhances Intelligent Pricing, Accelerates Rate Adjustments, and Improves Workers\' Compensation Performance

Guidewire (NYSE: GWRE) today announced the launch of its latest release, Olos, designed to help property and casualty (P&C) insurers modernize pricing strategies, accelerate rate changes, optimize underwriting processes, and improve workers’ compensation claims performance.

Faster, smarter pricing and underwriting with Guidewire PricingCenter

Guidewire PricingCenter integrates the full lifecycle of pricing and underwriting workflows, eliminating manual handoffs between actuarial, pricing, and IT teams. The platform enables dynamic price modeling and impact analysis, AI-assisted pricing insights, and seamless integration with other Guidewire applications and services, enabling faster rate filings and greater flexibility.

Dawid Kopczyk, Senior Director of Pricing and Underwriting at Guidewire, said: “PricingCenter provides insurers with a unified platform to model, test, and deploy rate changes quickly and confidently. By streamlining workflows, the platform empowers actuaries, underwriting rule developers, and IT teams to build advanced models that reduce rate change cycles from months to days, delivering optimal pricing for policyholders.”

Transforming submissions into decisions with Underwriting Assistant

With the Olos release, the first core AI agent capability of Guidewire UnderwritingCenter—Underwriting Assistant*—is now available, automating application intake, classification, and data enrichment to help underwriters make faster, more confident decisions. Still in development, Guidewire UnderwritingCenter is an end-to-end intelligent underwriting solution that combines generative AI-powered assistants with intelligent workflow automation to help underwriters better manage submissions and optimize risk selection.

Improving workers’ compensation claims outcomes

Olos expands workers’ compensation capabilities to help insurers improve claims results. Insurers can use enhanced claims categorization to optimize case assignment, with configurable features in ClaimCenter that increase transparency and efficiency in claims handling. Embedded predictive analytics provide insights into legal risk, medical severity, likelihood of indemnity payments, and estimated loss, improving return-to-work (RTW) outcomes while effectively controlling claims costs.

Additional highlights in the Olos release include new products and features that help insurers:

• Automate and centralize business rule management with Guidewire Rules Service**, which includes a visual Rules Designer to simplify rule-based decision modeling, allowing insurers to adapt quickly to changing requirements without code changes or deployment delays.

• Accelerate cloud migration using the Advanced Product Designer (APD) conversion tool to transform existing product definitions into APD format.

• Embed predictive Claims Intel models into InsuranceNow Analytics workflows to enhance claimant assignment, reserve setting, and vendor selection, strengthening claims decision-making.

• Build, deploy, and manage secure, context-aware AI agents across the insurance lifecycle using the Guidewire GenAI Service and Agentic Framework.*

Diego Devalle, Chief Officer of Product Development at Guidewire, said: “With Olos, insurers are entering a new era of intelligence and agility. This release enables insurers to update rates faster, strengthen claims decisions, and accelerate team responsiveness, delivering superior service experiences to policyholders.”
