AI agents for insurance and benefits

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

We build AI agents specifically for insurance and employee benefits. Our core AI reads and understands complex plan documents and employee data to create structured benefit intelligence. On top of that, our engagement AI agents automate workflows like decision support, plan comparisons, claims reminders, and document audits - all from one intelligent database tailored for carriers, brokers, and benefits vendors.

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

We are based in New York, NY, with a remote team distributed across locations. Post-YC, we plan to remain remote-first while maintaining a presence in New York.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is a major hub for insurance and benefits providers, which keeps us close to key users and partners. A remote setup lets us access talent beyond geographic limits while staying connected to industry leaders in the city.
