AGENTIC AI DETECTION

Your next applicant might be an AI agent.

AI agents run real browsers, pace themselves like people, and reason through your underwriting questions. ForMotiv tells you in-session whether a person, an AI assistant, or an autonomous agent is completing your application, before the policy binds.

Caught

An agent can copy how fast a person types. It can’t copy how a person remembers their own life: pausing on a prior claim, fixing a typo in their street name, going back to check a date. ForMotiv models are trained on genuine human behavior across hundreds of millions of insurance sessions, so the gap shows up even when the surface looks human.

WHAT AGENTS ARE DOING

Agentic fraud patterns in the application

Synthetic identity binding

Agents that bind policies at scale with synthetic or stolen identities, with no plan to keep them.

Underwriting gap probing

Repeated quote-and-adjust runs that learn which answers reach the lowest rate or skip review.

Prefill harvesting

Agents that start applications only to pull back the data your prefill vendors return.

Automated ghost broking

One operator running many agents to sell fake or manipulated policies to real customers.

Consumer AI assistants

Real customers who hand the form to an assistant. Not fraud, but the answers weren’t entered by the applicant.

Comparison shopping agents

Agents that quote across carriers for a shopper. Low bind intent, high prefill and third-party data cost.

YOUR RULES

Not every agent is a threat. You decide which ones are.

Blocking every non-human session means turning away real customers who use AI assistants. ForMotiv classifies each session and returns the evidence through the real-time API, so your team sets the response for each type of session and each line of business.

Allow and accelerate

Keep verified humans on the fast path.

Confirm the human

Ask an assisted applicant to confirm their key answers themselves.

Orchestrate data calls

Hold back expensive prefill and third-party data from low-intent agent sessions.

Route or stop

Send autonomous sessions to manual review or end them before bind.

Act in real time

Session classification returns through the real-time API in under 50 milliseconds on average. Use it to keep humans on the fast path, confirm assisted applicants, hold back prefill calls, or stop agents before bind.

Investigate offline

Use the ForMotiv Console to measure how much agent traffic reaches each channel and Agent, group sessions run by the same operator, and review policies already on the books.

WHY FORMOTIV

Trained on genuine human behavior at scale

Cross-carrier network

Agent patterns seen at one carrier strengthen detection at every carrier.

Real time, before bind

Signals and Models return in under 50 milliseconds on average.

Glass-box outputs

Zero PII

We capture behaviors, not identities. GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA compliant.
