One of ten companies certified at launch, XILO brings nearly a decade of Applied integration work to a program that lets agencies activate AI agents for intake, quoting and proposals without a custom build.
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — August 18, 2026 — XILO, the AI Agent platform for insurance distribution, today announced that it has been named to the first certified class of the Vendor Certification Program from Applied Systems, the world's largest provider of insurance software. XILO is one of ten companies with certified integrations at the program's launch.
Applied announced the program on August 12, 2026. It establishes a single, formal path for third-party vendors to certify an integration, and gives shared customers a faster, lower-cost way to activate the technology partners they choose. Certified vendors complete an onboarding and quality review against Applied's standards before an integration reaches an agency, and retain access to the latest Applied Epic releases so integrations stay current.
XILO has built on Applied systems for eight years, across Applied Epic, EZLynx and Tarmika. In 2024 the company began work on its deepest integration into Applied Epic, moving policy, application and marketing submission data in both directions so producers and service teams can write new business and remarket accounts faster.
“I started building insurance integrations almost ten years ago as a favor to my best friend, whose family agency was trying to compete with the direct writers. Applied was the first platform I ever worked in, so this one means something,” said Jon Corrin, co-founder and CEO of XILO. “The hardest part of selling technology to an agency has never been the software. It is asking a principal to bet on whether an integration will hold, and how many months it takes to find out. Certification moves that bet off the agency and onto a process Applied runs and stands behind.”
What certification changes for Applied Epic agencies
For agencies running Applied Epic, certification changes three practical things. Activating a certified integration is easier and faster than a standard integration build. It requires no additional purchase from Applied. And because certified vendors have access to the latest Epic releases, the integration is maintained against each new version rather than breaking quietly between them.
What is covered
The certification covers the work XILO's AI Agent performs across three products its customers already use: Client Intake, AI Quoting and Proposal Builder. A producer hands off new business or remarket quoting to the agent, which completes intake, researches and assembles the data, quotes across carriers and builds the proposal. The agency reviews and audits the output before anything is issued. Through the certified integration, XILO creates and updates Clients and Policies in Epic, generates Activities, uploads Attachments, delivers personal lines application data ahead of the carrier download, and creates Marketing Submission data for commercial teams — reducing manual data entry and E&O exposure.
XILO has served more than 500 agencies, including 40 of the Top 100, and is SOC 2 compliant.
