Insurance software maker Guidewire has agreed to acquire London-based pricing analytics firm Hyperexponential for $1.7 billion in cash. The deal, expected to close sometime next year, is intended to bring AI agents into insurance workflows, working alongside humans to underwrite, analyze, and support pricing decisions. The acquisition is drawing attention as a sign that insurers are investing heavily in AI-driven underwriting tools rather than treating them as experiments.
Why now: A large all-cash acquisition explicitly framed around bringing AI agents into insurance underwriting and pricing is major news for the insurtech and enterprise software sectors.
