Insurify Joins Technology Leaders to Shape the Future of AI-Powered Insurance Shopping

Published

on

Insurify will help shape insurance standards for shopper consent, coverage transparency, and carrier protections in the proposed Personal Agent Protocol, known as Poppy.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insurify, the leading online insurance marketplace and a pioneer in AI-powered insurance shopping, is joining Sierra and other technology leaders as an early design partner in the AI Personal Agent Protocol, known as Poppy, bringing the needs of insurance shoppers and carriers into the protocol’s design.

“People shopping for insurance should be able to use the AI agent they choose without losing the critical coverage information they need to make an informed decision,” said Giorgos Zacharia, co-founder and co-CEO of Insurify. “Delegating a task shouldn’t mean surrendering control over your personal information or your decision to buy. AI agents are an important distribution channel for carriers, and we’re helping shape standards that keep consumers in control and give companies the ability to protect the customers they serve.”

As an early adopter of AI in its marketplace, Insurify believes consumers need transparency, privacy, and guidance. Poppy aims to provide a straightforward framework in which consumers approve access, agents identify themselves, and companies set boundaries for what agents can do. Insurify will participate in design discussions, advocating for insurance-specific protections that preserve coverage context, carrier attribution, privacy, and security. These include retaining coverage limits, deductibles, eligibility requirements, and applicable disclosures, while addressing automated quoting that adds costs without serving a real shopper.

Insurify already offers personalized car insurance quotes through its ChatGPT plugin, with coverage details and a path to purchase through a licensed agent or insurer. Insurify’s participation in Poppy’s development advances the same objectives: enabling AI-powered insurance shopping that consumers and carriers can trust.
