AI copilot for health insurance brokers

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a web app that helps health insurance brokers automate insurance quoting, renewals, and revenue operations. It replaces the 6+ hours per week they spend on manual data entry with AI assistance, so they can focus on their clients instead of spreadsheets.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We all live and work in San Francisco, CA and would keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we all currently live and is a natural base for fintech and health insurance startups, giving us access to strong industry networks and talent.
