Herald builds digital infrastructure for commercial insurance. Today we provide developers a single API to get quotes for insurance products from multiple carriers. Tomorrow we want to build anything that helps developers connect their applications to the insurance ecosystem. Herald is building Babbix, an AI-native platform that commercial insurance brokers use to create submissions and get quotes directly from their inbox. It orchestrates broker workflows end-to-end by combining classification pipelines, data extraction models, and a broker-facing web interface. Delivering high-quality product experiences and shipping new AI-driven capabilities are core to our success.
