⚡ The Signal

AI is moving from the chat window to the real world. We're seeing the first wave of truly autonomous AI agents capable of navigating clunky, human-centric web portals to get work done. This isn't just about conversation; it's about action. A new "Quoting AI Agent" for the insurance industry demonstrates that AI can now tackle the frustrating, multi-step processes that have resisted automation for years.

🚧 The Problem

Talk to any insurance broker. Their biggest operational bottleneck isn't finding leads; it's generating quotes. To get a single commercial policy quoted, an agent has to manually log into a dozen or more different insurance carrier portals, re-entering the same client data over and over into ancient, inconsistent web forms. There are no APIs for this. The process is painfully slow, error-prone, and burns thousands of hours of skilled labor on low-value data entry. It's a sales prevention machine.

🚀 The Solution

Enter Plex. Plex is a simple, powerful API that automates the entire multi-carrier quoting process. Instead of ten logins and ten web forms, your team makes one API call. Submit a single, clean JSON with the client's risk profile, and Plex's army of browser automation agents navigates the carrier portals on your behalf, returning all the quotes programmatically in a unified format. It's a single API to replace the dozens of manual logins your team hates.
