Meta's New AI Agent, Big I's Nothingburger, & Diceus on AI in Insurance
In this episode, Brandon and Nick dig into the latest survey from the Big I and why it's looking at the industry through rose-colored glasses without telling the whole story. Then they break down Meta's new Muse, an AI agent that can send your emails, chase down answers on your behalf, and shop your insurance for you. Is this the end for personal lines agents? Finally, we sit down with Ilia Pinchuk, founder and CEO of Diceus, to talk about where AI is taking insurance software. Ilia explains why Diceus charges based on outcomes instead of per seat, how brokers can cut down on the everyday friction of legacy systems, and why enterprise AI needs guardrails and a clear audit trail when one mistake could mean issuing the wrong coverage. Nick was drinking Clase Azul tequila. He said Michaela bought it for their 12th anniversary because its blue-and-white colors reminded her of where they got married in Santorini. Brandon was drinking Laphroaig Quarter Cask Scotch, his favorite Scotch.
