We’re the fastest way for insurers to deploy AI-native interfaces across their product stack. With our agent Cell, insurance companies can launch AI agents that customers and employees can talk to directly over SMS, or inside existing quoting software. These agents sit on top of quoting, policy, claims, and CRM systems and help people get things done through natural language. Instead of forcing customers to call, log into portals, or wait on email, Cell handles follow-ups, answers questions, collects missing information, and moves workflows forward automatically. Insurers don’t need to replace their core systems or build new infrastructure. Cell layers on top of what already exists and makes insurance software accessible through conversation.
