Independent insurance agents spend 60-90 minutes per client logging into carrier portals one by one, re-entering the same data, and waiting for quotes. Thats 70% of their day on data entry instead of selling. QuoteSweep fixes this with agentic AI. We deploy autonomous browser agents to 15+ carrier portals in parallel — filling forms, handling MFA, and returning comparison-ready quotes in the time it takes an agent to manually fill one. 98% of P&C carriers have no API. Every other quoting tool stops at the 35 carriers that do. QuoteSweep works with any carrier that has a web portal — nationals, regionals, specialty markets, E&S. The entire panel. Now in early access. To sign up, email ankur@quotesweep.com
