Behind the "train AI agent" action is the workbench's retrieval-augmented (RAG) knowledge system — the carrier's own proprietary decision memory, built into the platform. Every underwriter decision is written to it as a vectorized record (embedded — stored as numbers the AI can search by similarity):
- Decision & rationale — approve / refer / decline, the rules that fired, the underwriter's notes.
- Property characteristics — roof class, construction, defensible space, protection class, valuation, prior losses.
- Geography & peril — ZIP / county, FHSZ, FEMA zone, the cat-model score band.
When a new submission arrives, the agent retrieves the most similar past decisions from this knowledge base (same geography + characteristic + score band) and proposes a decision grounded in precedent — not a black-box guess. The underwriter sets the guardrails; the agent acts within them and queues edge cases back.
Compliance rules are never delegated to the agent. Every retrieval and decision is logged with the model + knowledge-base version for audit.
