Overview

Novo AI is a claims technology platform for insurers in the APAC region that uses generative AI and large language models to automate claims operations. The company is headquartered in Singapore with an additional office at Hong Kong Science Park, and serves health and motor insurance carriers seeking to reduce manual processing, improve loss ratios, and streamline adjudication workflows.

The platform processes unstructured insurance documents -- hospital invoices, police reports, repair quotes, and legal correspondence -- extracting structured data across 50+ languages. It automates document ingestion, screens claims for fraud and abuse, and surfaces cost insights to help carriers manage pricing and medical inflation exposure. The solution is delivered as SaaS and is designed to integrate into existing insurance operations.

Novo AI counts April International and Tokio Marine among its early customers. A documented case study with April International reported up to 70% productivity improvement and 15% reduction in operational costs. The company was founded by ex-Google engineers Gilbert Leung (CEO) and Julien Condamines (CSO) and has received seed funding from First Round Capital.
