Ambitious Insurer Blog

The 2025 EIS AI Hackathon wasn’t just another internal event. It was a statement: when it comes to innovation, EIS builds tests, and moves—fast. With teams from across the globe, and a time limit of 50 hours, we gave ourselves the challenge of competing against ourselves to concept, design and deliver the next wave of AI-driven insurance capabilities. While fun, the spirit of the competition wasn’t theoretical, but instead designed to address real needs of today’s insurers by pushing boundaries and exploring practical, scalable, insurance solutions powered by AI.

The recent launch of EIS OneSuite^TM powered by CoreGentic^TM introduced a knowledge-driven core, agentic AI, AI governance, and natural language control into the heart of EIS. Thanks to how these new capabilities improve efficiency, customer centricity, and faster time to market, we’re helping insurers move faster, serve smarter, and deliver more value to their customers — without being slowed down by rigid core systems, custom code, and messy integrations. 

But since technology is moving faster than ever, we wanted to make sure we continued the drumbeat of innovation — to move from experimentation to execution. 

We had 24 internal teams participate, with 140 individuals from around the world: Asia Pacific, North America, India, and Europe — reflecting our global presence and the spirit of innovation that drives our company. Teams were challenged to come up with working prototypes compatible with the open, extensible architecture of EIS OneSuite, showing how CoreGentic’s native AI, orchestration, and governance can become even more powerful.

Rather than proposing speculative concepts, teams had to create and show live product demonstrations with the relevant shared code repositories at the end of the 50 hours. Teams were required to ensure their new capabilities could seamlessly integrate into the existing platform, and operate reliably at scale. 

Participants focused on extending and strengthening OneSuite rather than redefining it, delivering tangible capabilities designed to operate reliant scale within EIS existing architecture. 

Hackathon Results & Winners

When all the projects were presented, one clear theme stood out: the breadth of innovation, with an emphasis on operational, product-ready capabilities the build on the foundations of CoreGentic. From optimizing underwriting for efficiency to improving claims adjudication and improving quoting, every concept was both actionable and operational. 

These CoreGentic enhancements were built with production and roadmap alignment in mind, but also integration into the software development lifecycle at EIS, DevOps practices, and our support model. Several submissions focused on enhancing scalability, explainability, automation, and localization for insurers. 

Our judges were amazed at the creativity and ability of our teams to harness their ideas into actionable capabilities relevant to insurers today. Ultimately, they chose three winners based on five criteria: strategic fit to EIS, execution, innovation, complexity, and presentation. 

Winning teams included: 

• 3rd place: Claim Adjudication Rule Speeder
  • This innovative solution helps insurers more quickly resolve claim settlement, and reduces the need for custom code in the claims process, bringing down turnaround time, while maintaining control, accuracy, and governance.
  • Team members include Elaine Zhao, Chen Chen, and Zhan Chen.

• 2nd place: EIS OneQuote – AI-Powered Quote Builder for Insurance
  • Addressing the need for insurers to be more responsive and provide instant quotes to customers, this solution transforms the cumbersome, traditional quoting experience into an easy, conversational, AI-guided experience that delivers personalized quotes in minutes. Focused on helping insurers improve their customer experience from initial quote to claim, this solution aligns with the goals of a customer-centric and distribution-first platform, accelerating growth and digital adoption in key areas for the insurance market.
  • Team members include Zan Joshi, Tatsiana Tokarava, Germans Kuzmins, Hakim Hejam, Jonathan Libby, Sergey Fatykhov, and Kamal Jagnathan

• 1st place: Guided Configuration Flow
  • Empowering insurers to drive continuous, and rapid change quickly, easily and cost effectively, this solution addresses one of the leading expensive pain points facing insurers. With it, insurers can make safe, point-and-click workflow changes so teams can get more done with less cost. It maximizes OneSuite capabilities, empowering continuous change without custom code or risk.
  • Team members include Hanna Hrudzko, Dennis Levchuk, Viachaslau Kalesnikovich, Kanstantsin Sharsniou, Siaher Sauchuk, Hanna Khvistsik, and Yauheni Skaksevich

“OneSuite powered by CoreGentic establishes a strong baseline for innovation at EIS. What this hackathon demonstrates is how we extend that advantage. Teams focused on AI-native, cloud-first capabilities that integrate deeply into our platform and can scale securely and reliably for customers. The emphasis was not on experimentation alone, but on designing solutions that can be sustained, operated, and evolved over time.”

-Mike Dwyer, CTO, EIS

This hackathon highlighted the ability of our global team to work well together under a compressed timeline to drive innovation, and show the power of what’s possible with EIS OneSuite. 

What’s Next?

With the great work done by all of our innovation teams, we will next assess platform, product, and internal impact to identify what’s next for roadmap integration and acceleration. We’ll evaluate adoption potential across our user base of today’s ambitious insurers, and unlock new opportunities for growth. 

Most importantly, the spirit of innovation and ability to drive actual product solutions shows our commitment to meeting the needs of insurers and leveraging AI to transform insurance for the future. 

With these hackathon projects and our continued commitment to smart innovation for insurers, we’ll keep doubling down on our forward-thinking, future-proof culture — building on our strong architectural foundation as we move deliberately toward the platform ambitious insurers need to stay relevant today and lead tomorrow.
