FRANK Raises €2.9M for AI Insurance Platform
Portuguese insurtech FRANK has raised €2.9 million in a funding round led by Armilar and Start Ventures to expand its AI-powered platform for insurance brokers and prepare for international growth. The platform, called AI Operator, automates back-office tasks such as requesting quotes, following up on claims, and updating client information by interacting with email, WhatsApp, and insurer portals. It reads documents, identifies processes, and flags missing information. Launched commercially less than a year ago, the platform is used by over 350 insurance agencies in Portugal, with 1,500 users, handling 70,000 tasks monthly and saving brokers about ten hours per week. Funds will support R&D and international expansion planned for 2027.
This funding round highlights the growing application of AI agents in vertical B2B software, specifically insurance brokerage, signaling increased automation in back-office processes. It is moderately relevant to AdTech as an example of AI-driven workflow automation.
