See how a regional mutual carrier operationalized AI governance

Swept vs Holistic AI

Holistic AI is an AI governance platform. It finds, tests and supervises the models and agents a company runs. Swept does that too, and it's where your people use AI every day, with approved tools and policyholder data checked on every request.

Where each one sits

A carrier's AI shows up in four places, and Swept covers all four: the AI your people use, agents at work, AI in vendor software, and the models you build, which Swept tests for bias and hallucinations. Holistic AI covers the models and agents you build, and finds AI across cloud, code and vendors.

What is Holistic AI?

Holistic AI is an AI governance platform founded in 2020. It finds the AI a company runs across cloud, code and SaaS, tests it for bias, robustness and other risks, maps it to regulations, and uses Guardian Agents to monitor and step in on agents in production.1

It governs the AI your teams build and buy. Its public materials don't describe a gateway for staff use of ChatGPT or Claude, and its cost controls apply to agents rather than people.1

What each does well

Holistic AI

  • Finds AI across cloud, code and SaaS with read-only connectors, shadow AI included.6
  • Deep testing for bias, robustness and other risks, plus agentic red teaming.1
  • Guardian Agents watch production agents and can interrupt or restrict them in real time.3

Swept

  • Approved access to the AI your people want, with policyholder data checked before it reaches any model.
  • Models and agents tested for bias and hallucinations on your own data, before and after release.
  • Policy enforced at runtime, on every request and every agent action.
  • Spend caps by person and team, and a log of every AI interaction.

Try one real task: an adjuster drafts a coverage letter from a claim file

With Holistic AI

Holistic AI isn't the tool the adjuster types into. If the drafting tool is a model or agent you have registered, Holistic AI tests it, and its Guardian Agents can watch it and step in.

With Swept

The adjuster uses Claude or ChatGPT through Swept. Policy numbers and health details are caught before the request leaves your environment, and the draft is logged for review.

Holistic AI alternatives for insurance carriers

Carriers usually look past Holistic AI for one of two reasons: they need to see and control how staff use generative AI, or they want something a small IT team can run. Most alternatives cover one slice. Swept covers the whole job in one platform.

  • Swept

    Best for Carriers that want to see and control how staff use AI, with approved tools, policyholder data checked on every request and a log of every interaction, plus model testing and agent supervision in the same platform.

  • Credo AI

    Best for Governance teams that want a formal program record: an AI registry, risk reviews and policy packs mapped to regulations.

  • Monitaur

    Best for Model risk teams documenting and validating pricing, underwriting and claims models for examiners.

  • IBM watsonx.governance

    Best for Large carriers already on IBM that want model lifecycle governance.

  • OneTrust AI Governance

    Best for Carriers that run privacy and third-party risk in OneTrust and want AI reviews in the same workflow.

Questions carriers ask

Is Swept a replacement for Holistic AI?

For most carriers, yes. Swept tests models and agents for bias and hallucinations, keeps the AI inventory and supervises agents. It also gives staff a governed place to use AI, with data and spend controls. If you already run Holistic AI, Swept can run beside it.

What are the best Holistic AI alternatives for insurance carriers?

It depends on the gap. Swept fits carriers that need staff on approved AI with policyholder data checked on every request, plus model testing and agent supervision. Credo AI fits teams building a formal governance record, Monitaur fits model risk teams, and OneTrust fits carriers that run privacy and vendor risk there.

Can Holistic AI monitor how employees use ChatGPT or Claude?

It can discover AI tools and models across cloud, code and SaaS, and its AI Safeguard filters model inputs and outputs. Its public materials don't describe a gateway for everyday staff use. Swept puts staff on approved tools through a gateway, checks policyholder data on every request and logs each interaction.

Is Holistic AI a good fit for a regional carrier with a small IT team?

It can be, if you need deep testing and red teaming and have people to run it. One Gartner Peer Insights reviewer notes some integrations and deployment can be complex, and pricing is quote only. Swept runs in a private cloud set up for your carrier, so a small team isn't building the program.

Does Holistic AI control AI agents at runtime?

Yes. Its Guardian Agents can monitor agents and interrupt or restrict them, including what they can spend. Swept also enforces policy on every request and agent action, and applies the same controls to people using AI.

How much does Holistic AI cost?

Holistic AI doesn't publish pricing and quotes after a demo. Swept charges on usage, so you pay for the AI your team actually uses. Ask us for a usage estimate based on your headcount.

Holistic AI can find shadow AI. Isn't that enough?

Finding it is the first step. Staff still need an approved place to work, with policyholder data checked on every request. Swept gives them that, so the shadow use has somewhere to go.

Which one helps more with the NAIC Model Bulletin?

Both map to it. Holistic AI inventories and tests AI systems, and its insurance guidance maps to the bulletin. Swept covers both sides the bulletin asks about. It keeps the inventory and test results for your models and agents, and it records how AI is used, by whom and with what data.
