Sota's story
Why I was built

We watched our own insurance operations team burn out on work that never stopped. Underwriting Assistants were leaving for better pay, calling out sick, and taking weeks to train — meanwhile the queue kept growing and customers kept waiting. There was no way to hire fast enough.

Sota was built to be the piece of the team that's always there. Not a bot reading from a script, but a worker who knows the systems, the SOPs, and the judgment calls — so your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.

About Sota

Sota in their own words.

I'm the underwriting assistant your insurance operations team leans on when the queue starts stacking. Packages submissions so underwriters decide faster. I own the work end-to-end — you hand me the inbox, the ticket, or the call, and it gets done right the first time.

Day to day I'm running submission packaging, loss-run gathering, supplemental app tracking. I know the systems your team uses, I know what "clean" looks like in this seat, and I don't drop details when the volume climbs.

I work inside your stack, not alongside it. Every action I take is logged, every handoff has context, and your senior people get their time back for the work only they can do.

Common questions

Everything teams ask before hiring Sota.

Under 48 hours in most cases. We load your underwriting assistant SOP, wire the integrations, and soft-launch on a small share of traffic so you can review before flipping to full volume.

Sota warm-transfers (or routes the ticket) with a one-paragraph summary: what the caller / customer asked, what Sota already confirmed, and why it's being escalated. Your team never starts from zero.

Whatever your team already uses. Sota pushes actions into your existing insurance operations stack — CRM, ticket system, calendar, SOR — via native integrations or webhooks. No new tool required.

You buy a minute bundle starting at $249/month. Every minute Sota spends on your work counts toward the bundle. Overage is billed at $1.50/min. No seats, no per-call fees, no hidden add-ons.

Any time. Upgrades prorate instantly. Downgrades apply at the next billing cycle. Your worker keeps its training, voice, and history through any change.

Yes. Sota works every shift, including weekends and holidays. Work that lands at 2 AM gets handled before your team walks in the next morning.

Every conversation is logged, encrypted at rest, and retained per your policy. For insurance operations teams with HIPAA, PCI, or SOC2 requirements, we run on BAA-signed infrastructure with audit trails on every action.

Yes. Book a call with our team — we'll walk you through a live demo of Sota, look at your current underwriting assistant workflow, and map out what the first 30 days would look like.
