@someinsurance This is epic

@skcd42 A /goal type of feature would be super helpful

Novella raised $21M to give insurance brokers super-powers.

We’ve spent the last two years working with insurance brokers and carriers to answer their one question - how will AI impact my job?

Today, we’re sharing the answer:

@maxekane Awesome work Max and hats off to the whole Novella team!!!

@hedgequote Same here and I mean both of course

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

@hedgequote Imagine how hilarious that would be…

@levelsio @xai Didn’t even know this was happening since I don’t check my burner email, have two sites on grok-4-1-fast-non-reasoning and would have been annoyed having them randomly break…

@TyRobben @CedarStResearch Also trying to kneecap OpenAI which would free up more investment dollars to flow into SpaceX IPO as being the only logical choice as an investor wanting to ride the next AI wave

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

Agreed here, it’s an uphill battle for incumbents in terms of adoption. For new ai-native companies I think the best way is to make the front door of the process mirror the existing way and use AI in the background to unwind all the mess and serve the user faster. Insurance example, agents get tired of portals so just let them email submissions in the same way they do today but get back to them in 5 minutes instead of 5 days to win them over…

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

@TyRobben Yea and the crazy thing is that most large incumbents are structurally incapable of executing on this.

@pmarca’s “build new companies” quote has been living rent-free in my head lately.

@garrytan Me too and GStack /office-hours convinced me to apply to YC

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

@TyRobben Keep pushing bro

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

@garrytan @rburton The gstack to YC pipeline will be legendary this summer

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

@mad_ins_agent Quite the opposite typically!

[Insurtech Bro @insurtechbro]

After spending a few late nights with #GStack by @garrytan - I can say that it's the most impressive new open source project of 2026, and that the product thinking is exceptionally sharp.

Thank you Gary and recommend everyone check this out, it's 10x'd my Claude Code output..

@gregisenberg Ones with regulatory & capital moats

@LiamHarreys Most of the AI stuff I’ve seen out of the big AMS vendors are super basic and missing the point entirely
