Appulate Launches FORMS AI: Transforming Insurance Submissions with Advanced Document Intelligence

Westlake Village, CA — Appulate, the industry leader in insurance automation, is proud to announce the launch of FORMS AI — an advanced, AI-powered document ingestion engine that takes insurance submissions to a new level. Building on its 20-year legacy of ACORD form automation, Appulate now empowers agents, markets, and insurtech platforms to extract data from any insurance document — including handwritten and non-standard forms.

"For 20 years, we’ve helped streamline the insurance submission process with ACORD forms," said Jeff Harris, CEO and founder at Appulate.

"Now, with FORMS AI, we’ve broken through the ACORD ceiling and made it possible to extract data from any supplemental form or quote application — no matter the format or quality."

Designed with seamless adoption in mind, FORMS AI functions exactly like Appulate’s industry-trusted ACORD engine. No new training is required — and it’s built to plug into market portals, the Appulate portal, and any back-end system, including policy admin systems (PAS) via a simple, structured API.

Key Benefits of FORMS AI:

• Beyond ACORD: Process handwritten or poor-quality forms, supplemental applications, custom questionnaires, and more, with industry-leading accuracy.
• Out-of-the-box performance: Achieves ~80% accuracy on day one — and improves daily as the AI learns.
• Faster underwriting: Extracts and standardizes data for quicker submissions and cleaner intake, reducing time spent on manual entry.
• Plug-and-play integration: Easily implemented into existing systems without additional training or tech lift.
• Adaptable and scalable: Works with all lines of business and custom programs; enables rapid implementation with fewer resources.

• Secure by default: Your data stays protected with encryption, no retention, and strict access controls.

“FORMS AI is a game-changer for everyone in the insurance ecosystem,” said John Yarbrough, Appulate’s Director of Business Development.

“It reduces time and friction while improving data quality — giving agents more time to quote and gives markets more confidence in submissions.”

All of this happens with your information protected at every step — FORMS AI is built with strong data security in mind, including encryption, no data retention, and strict access controls. Your information is never stored unnecessarily, and never shared — so you can adopt with total confidence.

With FORMS AI, Appulate is once again proving that insurance automation doesn’t have to be complex. It just has to work — intelligently, accurately, and with real results from day one.
