Overview

Cluda is a document intelligence and automation platform for insurance brokers, focused on policy comparison, renewal reporting, and coverage query handling. The platform targets commercial and employee benefits brokers of all sizes, from boutique operations to multinational firms.

The platform ingests policy documents in varying insurer formats, uses OCR and AI to extract structured data, and produces side-by-side coverage comparisons. Brokers can generate branded renewal reports using existing firm templates and query coverage scenarios through a citation-based AI assistant trained on firm documentation. The technology is designed to reduce errors and omissions (E&O) exposure by logging all checks with evidenced reporting for compliance purposes.

Cluda was founded by insurance industry veterans, with CEO Michael McGurn bringing a background in IPMI and employee benefits brokerage. In May 2026, the company became a corporate member of AMII (Association of Medical Insurers and Intermediaries). The platform offers API access with integrations targeting Acturis, Applied, OpenGI, and Salesforce, and supports white-label deployment via embedded portals.
