About Kinro
Kinro helps companies sell insurance through AI assistants such as ChatGPT. We build AI sales agents that manage the end-to-end insurance sales process, from answering questions, personalized coverage explanations and quoting. These agents are continuously evaluated and improved through our proprietary platform, optimizing sales performance while remaining 100% compliant.
Selling insurance requires strict regulatory compliance, deep carrier integrations, and extremely reliable answers. Platforms like OpenAI and Google remain general-purpose and are less likely to build the vertical infrastructure required for regulated industries.
Today, Kinro serves brokers and direct-to-consumer carriers across the US and Europe. Insurance distribution is huge: insurers pay roughly $100B+ in commissions annually, and distributors spend $10B+ every year on advertising to acquire customers.
Pierre-Alexandre led research improving Gemini for financial services at DeepMind. Parth led infrastructure for training and inference at Zoox. Corentin was the first employee in an insurance startup and worked closely with many insurance leaders.
