Our verdict
The core system for property and casualty insurers, now putting agents directly into claims, underwriting and pricing. Value depends on being on Guidewire Cloud.
What it is
Guidewire InsuranceSuite runs policy, billing and claims for P&C insurers, with PricingCenter, Underwriting Center and the ProNavigator knowledge assistant. The Qusar release in August 2026 added an Agentic Framework for Guidewire-built and customer-built agents, including agentic first notice of loss and claim summarisation.
Guidewire also signed an agreement to acquire hyperexponential to push into agentic underwriting.
