Who we are

Adapt API is a venture-backed startup building the agentic operations layer for Property & Casualty (P&C) insurance.

Today walking into an insurance agency is like stepping into a time machine. Filing cabinets fax machines piles of incoming and outgoing mail. What you dont see is that even for the parts that have been digitized needless manual work abounds. Few systems communicate directly leading to endless copy-pasting from emails to various proprietary web portals/desktop apps and back again.

Carrier by carrier process by process Adapt is bringing each of those manual and error-prone workflows into our comprehensive agentic platform.

The implementation details are subject to change but this is our north star and the future we envision isnt possible without it.
