SunCar Deploys Doubao’s Leading AI Technology in China’s Auto Insurance Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 — SunCar Technology Group Inc. (the “Company” or “SunCar”) (NASDAQ: SDA), a frontrunner in digitizing auto insurance in China, incorporated ByteDance’s Doubao LLM (“Doubao”) into its digital auto insurance platform starting in Q3 2025. SunCar is currently broadening this integration through the introduction of its Personalized Auto Insurance AI Agent.

Recently, US-based Insurtech firm Insurify debuted its ChatGPT application to offer AI-driven insurance shopping for consumers. SunCar is following a similar approach in China’s B2B sector, embedding Doubao’s GenAI technology to support distribution partners and their ultimate customers. The Company’s Personalized Auto Insurance AI Agent delivers AI-enabled insurance services to drivers while boosting ROI for SunCar’s OEM and distribution partners.

Infusing GenAI capabilities into SunCar’s exclusive vehicle records database offers drivers an enhanced user experience across numerous auto insurance procedures, such as policy identification, suggestions, quoting, underwriting, and renewals. SunCar’s collaboration with Doubao merges SunCar’s extensive auto insurance information with Doubao’s multimodal AI comprehension and advanced reasoning functions, facilitating more precise quotes and flexible risk pricing. Motorists can avoid cumbersome forms and conduct policy evaluations via GenAI-created prompts. For its partners, encompassing 20 top EV OEMs, SunCar’s AI-driven policy renewal solutions have markedly lowered customer acquisition expenses.

Doubao’s chatbot boasts over 150 million weekly active users and is recognized for its compelling applications. SunCar’s adoption of Doubao’s technology aims to generate comparable engagement among auto insurance clients. Simultaneously, SunCar’s partners are gaining from the operational efficiencies and enhanced customer satisfaction that GenAI technology provides.
