AutoBind AI
The idea for AutoBind goes back to 2016, when the founder was setting up a health insurance sales call center. It took several quarters to find the agents, set up their state licensing, create the call scripts, develop processes to ensure adherence to scripts and policies. Along the way, many HR related issues had to be handled. After all that effort, the cyclical nature of the business required tough decisions to be made post open enrollment. The founder thought that if it were possible to retain a core team and use speech to text and text to speech along with a conversation application to flex the capacity, operations would be dramatically simplified and MUCH more profitable. Unfortunately, the technology wasn’t there.
Now it is. AI transcription speed and accuracy has improved dramatically. AutoBind was launched in 2023 with the goal of simplifying call center operations, increasing carrier profitability, all while creating a natural conversation for consumers to buy insurance from an agent whose expertise is the encapsulation of decades of experience from top performing agents.
Our vision
We believe AI will be transformative to the insurance industry in streamlining operations, dramatically reducing costs and increasing profitability, while improving the consumer experience. We are dedicated to realizing these benefits while ensuring a 100% compliant solution for carriers.
Management
AutoBind’s management team is composed of both technology and insurance industry veterans, with deep domain expertise on both sides of the fence. On the insurance side, the company’s leadership team has insurance sales and marketing veterans with decades of experience, including having set up and managed insurance call center sales facilities as well as regulation compliant processes. We are familiar with how insurance companies operate, their concerns, their priorities and how to design a product that addresses them.
Developers
On our tech team, we have decades of experience at both start-ups as well as the Fortune 100 in highly regulated industries. We believe that both the insurance and the technical domain expertise are required to bring this technology to the industry.
