What it doesThird-party risk management and certificate-of-insurance tracking platform that the vendor describes as powered by AI. Vendor says it reads each COI, checks it against your standards and industry benchmarks, and flags gaps in coverage, learning from 400,000+ COIs a month across a network of 517,000+ companies (vendor claims). Also lists vendor onboarding, automated reminder emails and error flags, no sign-in required for vendors, access for brokers, instant linking for project managers, collection of W-9s and contracts alongside COIs, and data preparation for litigation. Pitched to risk managers, finance teams (confirm vendors are compliant before paying), executives, coordinators, brokers and carriers. Homepage features named customer and G2 quotes (vendor-published).Insurance compliance platform for commercial real estate and construction that describes itself as AI-powered: AI agents and insurance specialists review COIs, endorsements and full policies, verify coverage against your requirements, and surface coverage gaps and exclusions (for example additional insured language) that basic tracking tools can miss. Policy Review collects and analyzes the underlying policy. Lists a compliance dashboard, vendor gap reports, gap-request emails, an AI support chat that explains gaps to vendors, a no-login COI upload portal, audit trail, and bi-directional integrations with Procore and MRI plus ERP connectors. Two plans: Jones Platform (self-serve, AI-assisted with human-verified review) and Jones Operator (adds a concierge team for follow-ups, broker back-and-forth and gap resolution). The vendor's own FAQ argues COI compliance needs workflow controls and an audit trail, not just AI extraction. Homepage figures (50M+ insurance documents, 3BN+ square feet, 300+ industry leaders) and customer quotes from Bulley & Andrews and Manhattan Construction Group are vendor claims.
Who it's forRisk managers, compliance coordinators and finance teams at contractors, homebuilders and real estate developers; insurance brokers and carriers.Construction general contractors and homebuilders (vet, prequalify and get subcontractor COIs compliant), plus commercial real estate owners, operators and property managers.
