AI agents for the AmTrust carrier portal

Covera Agents builds AI agents for insurance agencies. This page explains how Covera helps an agency quote on the portals used to quote AmTrust, without re-keying the client's file screen by screen.

AmTrust and appointed agents

AmTrust started in 1998 as a small warranty company and grew into a global insurance group with a strong focus on small businesses. It reports that it became the third largest workers' compensation writer in the United States in 2022.

Its small business lines include workers' compensation, BOP, commercial package, cyber, general liability, commercial auto and EPLI. Appointed agents quote, bind and service policies online through AmTrust Online.

According to AmTrust, its lines include workers' compensation, BOP, commercial package, cyber, general liability, commercial auto and EPLI. Availability depends on the state and on the agency's appointment.

Getting to AmTrust as an agent

AmTrust Online is open to AmTrust appointed agents: they can quote, bind, check claims and take payments on behalf of their clients from the same place.

Why carrier portals take time

On a carrier portal, the same information is keyed in again and again: the insured, the vehicles or the location, prior losses, the coverage requested. Each carrier has its own screens and labels, and quoting one risk with several carriers multiplies the double entry.

Quoting AmTrust with Covera

The agency prepares the quoting file in Covera from the client's request and the book. On the portals used to quote AmTrust, the Covera Portals extension for Chrome and Edge recognizes the carrier and shows the file next to the portal in a copy panel: click a field, then the value, without retyping. Each use also helps Covera map these screens.

Each person logs in with their own credentials, reviews every screen and decides what to submit: nothing goes to underwriting without someone at the agency.

Portal credentials

Sharing AmTrust portal credentials with Covera is optional. They are then stored encrypted, never shown again, every access is logged, and no scheduled or automatic login uses them.

Before and after the portal

The quoting file comes from the carrier quoting agent, which works from the agency management system, such as EZLynx or Momentum (NowCerts). The quotes then go to the quote comparison agent, which prepares the proposal for the client.

Other carrier portals

Covera Agents also works on the portals of other carriers, such as Auto-Owners, Berkshire Hathaway GUARD, Chubb and Foremost.
