Amenity uses natural language processing (NLP) to help institutional investors and insurance companies, and others to process and comprehend complex text documents and uncover real-time, actionable insights.
Amenity’s solution can spot key commentary and determine the critical indicators and statements that help executives make business decisions, drive company performance, and measure sentiment among a given audience.
Starr Companies chairman and CEO Hank Greenberg said: “We are excited to partner with Amenity Analytics to further develop use cases for insurance and accelerate AI innovations.”
Allstate Strategic Ventures managing director Tarik Galijasevic said: “Amenity’s advanced NLP technology can help us do both by efficiently creating actionable insights from large volumes of text data.”
Amenity Analytics was formed in 2015 by Nathaniel Storch, and Ronen Feldman, a professor at Hebrew University in Israel.
