Guidewire Honors Beazley, Definity, and RCIS for AI Innovation
At its Connections conference, Guidewire announced the winners of its 2026 Innovation Awards: Beazley, Definity, and RCIS.

Beazley modernized its policy administration and billing with Guidewire Cloud, partnering with Capgemini. Definity launched its first production agentic AI solution to manage broker First Notice of Loss (FNOL) intake, developed with Deloitte. RCIS transformed its crop insurance operations with Guidewire InsuranceSuite, Jutro Digital Platform, and AI-first engineering, with PwC as a partner. The winners demonstrate AI agents executing work within insurer controls, marking a shift toward 'agentic insurance'.
