Company

Despite years of investment, technology in underwriting has struggled to scale or deliver meaningful value.

Novee is the AI assistant designed around how underwriters actually work. Acting as an intelligence layer, it wraps around existing systems and processes to deliver actionable risk insights and automate the grunt work behind every submission.

Our Mission

At Novee, we’re not solving new problems - we’re just solving them differently.

Instead of trying to standardise underwriting, we’re building the intelligence layer that fits around it. Our mission is to give every underwriter their own AI assistant - one that supports decision-making and automates the grunt work without changing the work they enjoy doing or disrupting existing systems and distribution channels.


Novee integrates seamlessly into the tools and workflows underwriters already use, turning messy, unstructured submissions into clear, actionable insights. By adapting to real-world complexity rather than trying to simplify it, Novee delivers automation that feels natural, not forced - accelerating underwriting, enhancing judgement, and delivering value in weeks, not years.
