Overview

Apps & Bits is an AI workflow automation platform for independent insurance agencies, built to address the operational burden agencies face managing multiple disconnected systems and high volumes of routine tasks.

The company delivers custom automation across three operational domains: front-office communications, agency workflows, and back-office reconciliation. Its flagship product, Lorina, is an AI phone receptionist that handles inbound calls, SMS follow-ups, appointment scheduling, and lead capture around the clock. Beyond Lorina, the platform covers quote automation, policy checking and renewals, certificate and endorsement processing, claims intake, and billing reconciliation -- all integrated with an agency's existing Agency Management System and CRM rather than replacing them.

Apps & Bits operates as a bootstrapped startup with a small team, founded by a technology executive with prior enterprise data, SaaS, and AI systems experience. The platform targets North American independent insurance agencies, including specialized workflows for high-complexity coverage scenarios such as California FAIR Plan and Difference-in-Conditions policies.
