Introducing Agency Gauge: AI Guidance Built Around Your Agency

AAI has taken another major step forward in agency analytics with the launch of Agency Gauge, our new AI powered agency intelligence platform.

Our proprietary analytics dashboard has long helped AAI agency owners understand what is happening inside their business. Agency Gauge builds on that foundation by adding something new: AI guidance that helps explain what the numbers mean and what an agency owner may want to do next. 

The launch was recently announced on Insurance Journal, where Agency Gauge was highlighted for bringing AI powered guidance to AAI’s advanced agency analytics. 

But while industry recognition matters, there’s another perspective that matters even more to us.

What do AAI agency owners think after seeing Agency Gauge firsthand?

Hear From AAI Agency Owners

After getting a first look at Agency Gauge, Sam Genuis of Spartan Shield Insurance and Eunice Avina of Reliable Insurance shared what stood out to them and what the new capabilities could mean for their agencies. The video published by AAI features both agency owners discussing Agency Gauge.

Their reactions get to the heart of why we built Agency Gauge.

Agency owners already have data. The next step is helping them turn that data into clearer direction.

What Can Agency Gauge Do?

Agency Gauge builds on AAI’s existing analytics with AI powered guidance designed around each agency’s performance. 

Agency owners can use Agency Gauge to:

  • Get clear recommendations. The AI generated Executive Overview suggests actions around retention, identifies cross sell and growth opportunities, and flags anomalies.
  • See where their agency stands. Compare results with similarly sized agencies across the AAI network and industry best practice benchmarks. 
  • Spot opportunities. Identify opportunities such as monoline households ready for cross sell and see whether new business is becoming concentrated with one carrier. 
  • Catch issues early. Surface AMS quoting errors and licenses approaching expiration. 
  • Coach with better context. Review producer quote ratios and use the information to guide more balanced quoting. 

The goal isn’t to make decisions for agency owners.

It’s to give them better information, better context and actionable guidance so they can decide where to focus their agency’s efforts.

As AAI President and CEO Chris Fernandez explained in the announcement, Agency Gauge adds the next layer to AAI’s analytics: understanding what the numbers mean, how an agency compares with its peers and what the owner can do about it, while keeping the decisions with the owner. 

Building on What Already Sets AAI Apart

Agency Gauge isn’t replacing AAI’s analytics dashboard.

It’s the next evolution of it.

AAI’s agency owners and carrier partners have described the network’s existing analytics as being at the cutting edge of industry offerings. Agency Gauge builds on that foundation by adding AI guidance and recommendations to the data agency owners already use. 

That means the conversation is no longer only:

What are my numbers?

It can also become:

What do my numbers mean?

How do I compare?

Where are the opportunities?

Where should I focus next?

That is what makes Agency Gauge such an important milestone for AAI.
