WaniWani
AI distribution infrastructure for insurance products on conversational AI platforms
Overview
WaniWani is an AI distribution infrastructure provider for carriers and digital insurers, enabling regulated insurance products to be quoted and sold through conversational AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. The company operates primarily in the P&C personal and specialty segments, serving carriers, MGAs, and digital insurers seeking to reach customers through emerging AI-driven channels.
The platform handles the full integration layer between insurance back-ends and AI assistants: natural language data collection, real-time pricing engine connectivity, compliance enforcement, and multi-jurisdiction regulatory rule management. Products are delivered as API-based infrastructure that insurance providers connect to, allowing AI agents to conduct compliant sales conversations without requiring insurers to build custom AI capabilities.
Founded in 2026 by Raphael Vullierme (CEO) and Maxime Antoine (CTO), WaniWani achieved a notable early milestone when it facilitated the first OpenAI-approved insurance AI app in February 2026, enabling Tuio Insurance to offer real-time home insurance quotes on ChatGPT. The company raised USD 700K in seed funding from Hexa and reports that AI-driven channels generate roughly 20% of new business for digital insurers deploying the platform. As of February 2026, twelve additional insurance AI applications built on WaniWani were in the OpenAI approval pipeline.
