Bottom line
Kalepa is an AI underwriting platform for commercial P&C insurers, MGAs, mutuals and reinsurers. It ingests submissions and ACORDs, SOVs and loss runs, runs clearance and sanctions checks, triages by likelihood to bind, and gives underwriters a single risk-analysis, rating, quote and portfolio-management workspace. The vendor cites a 960 basis-point combined-ratio improvement, 30%+ more premium per underwriter and 58% faster quotes. Deployment is modular and live in weeks. Pricing is not published.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a Kalepa implementation take?
Kalepa states its modular platform is 'live in weeks, not years,' works out of the box and integrates with existing core systems. Case studies describe first-year results (e.g. Paragon reaching full inbox coverage and doubling its quote-to-bind rate within a year), so plan for a phased rollout rather than a single cutover.
Does Kalepa publish pricing?
No. The vendor site shows no plans, tiers, seat pricing or implementation fees, and no pricing page was available in the sources we reviewed. Buyers should expect custom, negotiated enterprise contracts and should request a written scope covering implementation, data ingestion and any third-party data costs.
What AI does the platform actually run?
Kalepa describes automated classification and data extraction across hundreds of document types (ACORDs, SOVs, loss runs, supplemental applications), automatic prioritization of submissions most likely to bind, and a proprietary 'AI Ensemble Engine' that selects the right model or method in real time. The pages we reviewed do not name any underlying model provider.
Is Kalepa SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certified?
No certification claim appears on the pages we reviewed. The /security page is a responsible-disclosure policy plus a [email protected] reporting address; it does not list SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, FedRAMP or other attestations. Ask the vendor for its current security package and audit reports before signing.
Does Kalepa train its models on our underwriting data?
The vendor pages we reviewed do not state whether customer data is used to train or improve models, so treat this as unresolved. Get a written data-use commitment covering submission documents, loss runs and any third-party data enrichment before uploading production data.
Which systems does Kalepa integrate with?
The site says the platform integrates seamlessly with existing core systems, and that rating can incorporate pricing models from Excel, external raters or internal systems. No named integration partners, marketplace listings or public API documentation appeared on the pages we reviewed, so confirm core-system connectors during evaluation.
