Your own view of risk
You build and change schemas, fields, and rules yourself, in natural language, without waiting on a vendor backlog.
Applied
Cytora reads every submission the moment it arrives, in any format and language. You get a decision-ready risk record, not another file to chase.
What Cytora changes for your underwriting operation
You build and change schemas, fields, and rules yourself, in natural language, without waiting on a vendor backlog.
New fields and lines of business go live in days, because you configure them rather than code and train a model.
Underwriters spend their time on risks worth writing, while low-value triage and re-keying are automated in the workflow.
Submissions that used to sit in a queue are now decision-ready while the opportunity is still live.
How it works
Automate the ask for what's missing
Spot a gap, send the ask to the broker, and link the reply back automatically.
Split multi-product submissions automatically
Detect when one submission covers several products or policies, and create a separate transaction for each one.
Trigger the next step automatically
Launch appetite checks, pricing and follow-on tasks without a manual hand-off, bringing in a person only for exceptions.
How it works
Add a field in natural language
Describe the field like you would to a colleague, and Cytora pulls it with full contextual reasoning.
Customize a pre-built schema, or start blank
Start from a schema built for your line of business or build one from scratch and tailor it.
Combine actions to fill individual fields
Classify each document, extract the key fields, and enrich with external data, combined as your schema needs.
For claims teams
Read loss notices from every party
Digitize notices from claimants, courts, hospitals, and auto repair shops, in text, image, audio, or video files.
Triage each claim by complexity
Match every claim to the handling path your operating model sets for it, so simple claims move faster.
Work from a complete claim record
See the source behind every field, so decisions stay consistent from one adjuster to the next.
Underwriting process automation that takes a raw submission all the way to a decision-ready risk, start to finish.
Every inbox mixes new business, renewals, claims, and policy changes. Cytora routes each to its own schema.
Start from schemas built for commercial and specialty lines, then tailor fields to your own forms.
Choose whether a field comes from one source, several combined, or one source checking another.
Set the confidence threshold, and only the fields that fall below it reach a person for review.
See exactly which document produced each value, how confident the platform is, and why it was chosen.
Send the finished risk record into your rating engine, policy system, CRM, or underwriting workbench.

Cytora is the digitization and workflow layer Applied provides for insurers, turning broker submissions into decision-ready risk. It reads every submission, sorts multi-line requests, and fills your schema automatically.
From there, underwriting process automation keeps the workflow moving – chasing missing information, running appetite and pricing checks, and routing the finished risk into your rating engine or policy system.
No. Cytora digitizes and enriches the submission, automates the appetite and portfolio-fit checks, then hands your underwriter a decision-ready risk – or, where you've set the rules for it, moves a clean, in-appetite risk straight through to a quote.
Either way, the underwriting call is still yours. Cytora surfaces the risk and the reasoning behind every field; a person confirms it.
Cytora reads each interaction as it arrives and classifies it – by transaction type, line of business, geography, or language – even when several requests land in the same email, in any format.
Where one message covers more than one risk, Cytora splits it into separate requests automatically, so each one follows its own workflow.
Yes. Cytora digitizes claims intake with ready-made schemas for every type of claim submission, using the same platform that handles new business, renewals, and mid-term changes.
Cytora triages each claim by complexity as it arrives and routes it to the handling path your operating model sets, so adjusters start from a complete, sourced record.
No. You describe a new field in natural language, as you’d explain it to a colleague, and start from a ready-made schema for your line of business.
You can copy, edit, or extend any schema yourself, then test its accuracy against your own confirmed results before go-live – no coding and no model retraining.
You set the confidence threshold at the schema or field level. Anything Cytora extracts below that line goes to a reviewer instead of moving forward untouched.
Every field also shows the exact source it came from and how confident Cytora is in the value, so a reviewer can confirm it fast.
Cytora sends the completed risk record straight into the systems you already run – your rating engine, policy admin system, CRM, or underwriting workbench – the moment it’s finished.
Nothing gets re-keyed along the way, and the same structured data that reached your underwriter is what lands in your downstream systems, ready for the next step.
You decide, field by field: one source, several combined, or one source checking another, across submission, internal, external, and web data.
You set the mode in natural language, so a broker’s stated revenue can be verified against a third-party source before it ever reaches your underwriter.
