Marrow's insurance sales platform has been in production with Aviva since March, after clearing the insurer's procurement, information security, legal and data protection reviews, according to [Insurtech Gateway](https://www.insurtechgateway.com/2026/10/22/marrow-raises-2m/?ref=thecoverwire.com), which led the London start-up's $2m pre-seed round and announced it on 22 October. Seed X, Leo Capital, Portfolio Ventures and angel investors also took part.

Marrow sits between insurers and the AI agents customers use. An insurer maps its existing pricing and policy systems to Marrow once, with no change to its core systems, and agents from any assistant then reach its products through one protocol. Marrow controls what the agent may ask, which answers count, what the customer must see before a price, and the record of the interaction. It does not acquire customers or advise between products, the investor said.

On [its standards site](https://standards.onmarrow.com/?ref=thecoverwire.com), Marrow describes its live work as generating regulated quotes for carriers on consumer AI services and handing the customer to the carrier's own journey to complete the purchase.

Insurtech Gateway cited Consumer Intelligence research finding that 18.7% of UK home insurance shoppers had used AI tools, compared with 14.5% who had used a broker. That does not mean an AI agent completed the sale, the investor noted; it shows customers bringing AI into the purchase.

"These are still regulated insurance sales: there's a high bar to clear to be sure that the consumer is safe and these interactions are robust," said Tim Graham, co-founder and chief executive of Marrow.

Marrow published the AMI Standards, an open specification for how AI agents request, compare, disclose and bind a regulated policy, in September. Insurers and brokers are reviewing them across five lines of business, and the money will help take them to a first full version. Comments close on 13 November, according to Insurtech Gateway.

*Update, 2 November 2026: this story was revised to lead with the Aviva deployment, to attribute it to Insurtech Gateway as an investor in Marrow, and to add how Marrow describes its live service.*
