Precursory offers performance insurance for AI agents, a product designed to manage the operational risk of deploying autonomous systems in commercial settings. The company stress-tests agents to identify failure modes - such as stale rates, phantom accessorials, or lapsed carrier authority - and then insures the defined performance warranties that vendors include in their customer contracts. When an agent underperformes against these warranties, Precursory reimburses the vendor, with claims verified against the customer's own operational data.
The business sits at the intersection of insurance and adversarial systems engineering. Its technical work draws on optimization, adversarial modeling, and red-teaming methodologies. Pricing is based on observed agent performance rather than actuarial estimates, tying coverage directly to real-world reliability.
Precursory's initial focus is on freight workflows, where AI agents increasingly handle rate quoting, carrier vetting, and accessorial billing - areas where errors carry immediate financial consequences. By underwriting agent performance, the company aims to give both vendors and their customers greater confidence in automated decision-making.
