Skyward Specialty Insurance Group, a specialty property and casualty insurer focused on complex and niche risks, has partnered with Sixfold to accelerate the adoption of AI-powered underwriting across its domestic P&C portfolio.
The collaboration forms part of Skyward Specialty’s broader strategy to enhance underwriting performance through data-driven insights, greater efficiency and faster decision-making.
Skyward Specialty underwrites a wide range of specialty P&C lines and works closely with broker partners to deliver tailored insurance solutions. Through the partnership, the insurer is deploying Sixfold’s AI underwriting platform, which is designed to streamline insurance workflows by pre-processing submissions and generating structured recommendations, including risk summaries, appetite alignment and prioritisation.
Sixfold’s platform has now been rolled out across six Skyward Specialty business units and more than 10 product lines. With average deployment timelines of eight to 10 weeks, the insurer has been able to scale the technology rapidly across its operations.
Commenting on the partnership, Skyward Specialty said the platform enhances underwriting insight, consistency and speed of analysis and response, while creating a continuous learning loop that supports better outcomes and keeps human expertise at the centre of underwriting decisions.
“This is disciplined innovation that positions us for continued outperformance and forms a critical part of our early mover advantage in the AI underwriting landscape. We are determined to maintain a leadership position in our use of advanced technology to serve the specialty insurance market, and our partnership with Sixfold is a key part of that ambition.”
