Every tech plan I’ve worked on eventually ends up facing the same question: “Do we lay every brick ourselves or move into a house that’s ready to live in?” Training today’s biggest models now runs into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and the bigger the spend, the bigger the risk if things go sideways. The trade‑offs of whether to build or buy have fueled endless debate. But what if we could do both?

Solution: Build AND Buy

Buying first shows value in weeks. No hiring headaches. No messy setups. Just results.

Building on top gives you deeper control and maintains your unique edge.
Think of it like running a restaurant: buy bread and desserts from a bakery so you can focus on crafting the signature dish that keeps customers coming back.

In AI and in insurance, speed matters. Tech moves fast, submissions need to be cleared, and nobody wants to launch a project only for it to be outdated by next quarter.

Let’s say you want AI to compare two versions of a policy and highlight what’s changed. Seems simple, right? But quite quickly, you end up spending months dealing with strange formats, fixing errors, chasing down edge cases, and managing details you might have underestimated when building your own solution.

By the time it’s working, a solution provider might already have a better version, plus extra features you didn’t even realize you’d need, like audit trails or automatic routing. It’s not about whether your team can build it. It’s about how much faster and more complete it can be when someone else has already done the hard parts, so you can focus on what matters most: scaling your business.

That’s why partnering with the right solution provider isn’t just about saving time - it’s about future-proofing. You get a system that solves real problems now and continuously evolves as the tech does. You bring the business goals; they bring the latest breakthroughs.

FurtherAI is built to fit into your team

We built FurtherAI to give insurers speed AND flexibility to make it their own. FurtherAI plugs easily into your business systems and delivers value fast without changing how your team works. 

• Pick the manual work you need help with. From extracting numbers out of massive PDFs or flagging differences between policies, FurtherAI will handle it.
  
  
• Customize it with your playbook. Upload your underwriting guidelines, rating factors, or routing rules. As the AI handles your documents, it picks up those rules and delivers results that match the way you write business.
  
  
• Integrate with what you already use. FurtherAI layers onto your existing API data systems so you keep every tool that already works while adding AI power on top.
  
  
• Your data stays yours. Your data stays in your control. FurtherAI runs on your infrastructure and meets the highest security standards. All data is stored on your IP backed by enterprise‑grade security and compliance like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR.

“The smartest move isn't to build or buy,” I like to say. “It’s to build what’s core. Buy what scales.”

Ready‑made document intelligence, live hazard look‑ups, and explainable outputs can get you most of the way in weeks; layering your own risk logic makes the workflow yours.

We’re already seeing carriers double throughput and cut intake times by 90%. Want to see how fast your team can move when you stop choosing between building and buying?
