AI agents for the Progressive carrier portal

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

Progressive and independent agencies

Founded in 1937, Progressive describes itself as the largest auto insurer in the United States. It sells insurance by phone, online and through independent agents, and says it is the top personal auto insurer in the independent agency channel.

Beyond personal auto, Progressive writes motorcycle, boat and RV, home and renters, umbrella, and commercial lines such as commercial auto and truck, workers' compensation, BOP and general liability. Its agent portal, ForAgentsOnly, is restricted to authorized users.

Progressive at a glance

Progressive reported 35 million policies in force and 74.4 billion dollars in net premiums written in 2024. Progressive Commercial describes itself as the top commercial auto insurer in the United States.

Lines Progressive writes

According to Progressive, its lines include personal auto, motorcycle, boat and RV, homeowners and renters, umbrella, commercial auto, workers' compensation, BOP and general liability. Availability depends on the state and on the agency's appointment.

Getting to Progressive as an agent

Progressive runs a public site for agents, progressiveagent.com, and a recruiting page for agencies that want to be appointed. Once appointed, agents use ForAgentsOnly, a site restricted to authorized users.

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 Progressive with Covera

The agency prepares the quoting file in Covera from the client's request and the book. On ForAgentsOnly, 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 Progressive 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 Safeco, AmTrust, Auto-Owners and Berkshire Hathaway GUARD.
