John Hancock looks to new AI underwriting tool to slash processing time
February 3, 2026 by Rayne Morgan
One of the newest Gen-AI powered underwriting tools to enter the market promises to cut down preliminary processing times from about one day to just 15 minutes, saving agents time and improving customer experience.
Quick Quote is the most recent AI tech tool to spring from John Hancock/Manulife’s innovation team, a global leader in the field.
“There’s a lot of AI activity in insurance right now, but Quick Quote stands out because it’s one of the first reasoning-based GenAI quote-generating engines in the U.S. life insurance market,” Hector Martinez, head of insurance, John Hancock, said.
