AI agents that run insurance operations

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

We build AI agents that automate insurance operations like policy servicing and claims handling. Our product plugs into core insurance platforms to handle workflows end-to-end with compliance and industry expertise baked in. This lets carriers and brokers cut manual work and speed up operations.

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

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC as well.

San Francisco is where the insurance tech ecosystem and AI talent converge. Being close to customers and partners in the industry headquarters matters for us.
