How it works / Ask

Ask the desk anything about insurance.

Type a question the way you’d ask a colleague. TrendDesk’s AI agents take it from there, drawing on ten years of Sønr data, with every source shown.

Who’s partnering on embedded cover for small businesses in Southeast Asia?

Banks, payment apps and accounting software providers are the most active partners, usually paired with a digital insurer or an MGA 1. Most new deals bundle cover into a business account or payments app 2, and several regional insurers are now building their own partner teams 3.

Why the answers are different

Depth you won’t get from general-purpose AI.

General AI gives you a fast answer from the open web. TrendDesk gives you research, done the way Sønr’s researchers have worked for ten years.

Teams of agents, built on ten years of practice

Questions go to AI agents designed around how Sønr’s researchers work. In full research, a whole team takes it on: one researches, one checks the facts and one writes it up.

The latest frontier models

The reading and writing run on the latest frontier AI models, updated as better ones arrive.

Data no other AI has

Underneath sits ten years of Sønr research and data on more than six million companies. No other AI has been trained on it or can access it.

Every answer shows its sources

Each point links to where it came from, with the date it was published. Check anything before you quote it.

It knows who’s asking

Your role, company and market shape the answer, so you don’t have to explain your world every time you ask.

Take it further with a person

From any full research report, hand the question to Sønr’s researchers to go deeper.
