Introducing IRP Navigator: Your 24/7 AI-Powered Guide to Moody’s Intelligent Risk Platform Services
Alisha FazoSeptember 12, 2024
Generative AI (GenAI) offers the potential to be a transformative technology, presenting exciting opportunities to rethink daily workflows but also new challenges relating to governance and compliance.
A recent study by Moody’s found that financial services firms are taking different paths for GenAI (see figure below) with Fintech leading the way and the insurance industry taking a more measured path to workflow integration.
As the insurance industry continues on its path to IT modernization and cloud adoption, we anticipate that GenAI adoption will follow quickly, especially when these capabilities are embedded directly into their day-to-day tools.
At Moody’s, we are approaching GenAI as a once-in-a-generation opportunity to do even more for our customers.
We are integrating GenAI and machine learning capabilities into our for-risk management solutions, with products across the insurance value chain aligned with our objectives and principles, upholding Moody’s reputation of integrity and responsibility across all we do.
Introducing the Moody’s Intelligent Risk Platform Navigator: GenAI for Risk Analytics
Every six weeks, Moody's introduces new, cutting-edge features on the Intelligent Risk Platform (IRP), and while this rapid pace of innovation is beneficial, it can also create a challenge for users.
Clients may find it difficult to keep up with the latest functionality or when revisiting essential features, such as grouping or treaty editing after an event, without detracting from their primary task of risk analysis.
Ensuring that our more than three hundred IRP clients, whether they specialize in catastrophe modeling, exposure management, or underwriting, are empowered and maintain a high level of productivity is crucial, but various obstacles can impede this goal.
For instance, a language difference between our client and their customer success manager can create communication barriers.
Clients need immediate answers but the speed of response can rely on customer success availability to promptly address queries and concerns, potentially slowing down the modeling workflow. Identifying and addressing these barriers is essential for streamlining processes and enhancing client productivity.
To help our customers make the most out of their Moody’s cloud-native applications, we are excited to announce the launch of Intelligent Risk Platform Navigator, a revolutionary 24/7 conversational AI assistant designed to elevate the user experience.

Whether clarifying a specific application feature, assisting with data integration workflows, or offering insights on Moody’s RMS models, the Navigator is a go-to solution for getting fast, accurate answers without leaving the platform.
The conversational AI assistant accesses a vast documentation repository, including Moody’s Support Center, software and model documentation, and the platform’s developer portal content.

The Navigator’s real-time responses enable users to save valuable time, eliminating the need for extensive research or back-and-forth consultations with multiple sources, saving time, and boosting productivity.

Whether working with certain models, data sets, or software applications, the Navigator delivers responses relevant to the client’s license and use case, always ensuring delivery of the most pertinent information.
Greater Transparency and Accountability: The Navigator doesn’t just provide answers; it also references the exact source of its information through clear and accessible citations. This ensures transparency and makes it easy for users to verify information or dive deeper into related content.
