Tweetable Quotes:

• “We built a system that we manage all that data for you…it can reduce anywhere from 50 to 60 policy types, down to just five or six and just 30 to 60 seconds, and really give you that drill down of what carriers would possibly write your risk. So that was it was the short long version.” – Trace Meek 
• “We have built what’s called Ask Fetch, and it’s using open API’s. You know, I didn’t create it myself but we’re creating our own machine learning on top of it. And what that is, is we’re teaching the prompts like if you’re an underwriter, if you’re an insurance professional, if you’re an HR, we’re teaching, when you ask it questions that it knows how to respond to you based on that.” – Trace Meek
