Rival Insurance Technology

Twenty developers. Three teams. Four hours to build. Our first AI hackathon challenged teams to tackle real workplace problems, from validating carrier data to guiding client onboarding and supporting code review. We learned a few things along the way. Tool access needed more testing. Facilitation needed more hands. And capturing what people learned mattered as much as what they built. Planning your own? Our free guide shares what we’d keep, what we’d change, and a practical checklist to help you get started. Download the guide: buff.ly/anE9cGC #AIAdoption #InsuranceTechnology #TeamLearning

Alberta’s Care-First auto insurance reform takes effect on January 1, 2027. We have delivered updates in TBW to help brokers prepare, giving them time to explore the changes before the effective date. Thank you to our clients, carrier partners, and our teams for the collaboration behind this work. As January approaches, we remain available to support brokers and answer questions.

Lisa has put together an excellent deep dive into the conversation. Well worth a read! Read the full article: buff.ly/t5zN561 #InsuranceUnplugged #InsuranceTechnology #AI #InsurTech
