About this episode

In this episode of Making Risk Flow, Jake Harding sits down with Izik Lavy and Jacob Grob from GeoX AI to explore how property intelligence is transforming insurance underwriting. They discuss how accurate geospatial data, computer vision, and confidence-scored models help carriers move beyond reactive decision-making, accelerate quotes, uncover profitable opportunities, and better manage risk. The conversation explores why deterministic data can outperform probabilistic AI, how deeper property insights reveal hidden value in complex markets, and why specialized technology providers are becoming essential partners for insurers. Discover how real-time property intelligence is reshaping portfolio strategy, pricing, and the future of insurance.
