How AI Agents Cut Insurance Costs By 90% | Agentic EP 06

The insurance industry has a 400,000 agent shortage.


I sat down with Harper's founders, who use agentic AI to deliver enterprise-grade service at 1/10th the cost.


Dakotah Rice and Tushar Nair revealed how they're leveraging the $85B E&S market:

• voice AI running quotes to claims

• why selling AI tools failed, but becoming a broker worked

• how they're hitting software margins in a services business


As insurance carriers exit Florida and California, Harper couldn’t have come at a better time.
