The Rise of Agentic Analytics at esure

We’ll explore how leading digital insurer esure is using Databricks Genie and multi-agent AI to change the way employees interact with data.

Read the full description

What began as a conversational interface to replace long-tail reporting requests has evolved into a vision of specialist AI agents answering questions across claims, pricing, finance and customer operations. Coordinated by Genie One as a supervisory layer, these agents investigate business issues, identify contributing factors and deliver consolidated insights.

You’ll hear:

• Why traditional reporting often fails to deliver business agility.

• How Genie enables governed natural language access to enterprise data.

• The role of domain-specific AI agents in complex businesses.

• Lessons from real-world adoption challenges.

• What the future of multi-agent analytics could look like.

Learn how enterprises are moving beyond dashboards to AI-powered reasoning that turns data into faster, smarter decisions.
