AI is already changing insurance.
But most agents still don’t fully understand how it actually works inside the sales process.
In this episode of The Modern Insurance Agent Podcast, we sit down with Alex Shartsis, CEO of skyp.ai, to break down how AI is transforming insurance from first touch to bound policy.
Alex works directly with carriers and MGAs to automate distribution workflows, reduce friction, and accelerate growth without sacrificing relationships, trust, or compliance.
This isn’t theory.
It’s a real look at how AI-powered insurance systems are being implemented right now.
