First up, we have Fair Square Medicare.
Enrolling in Medicare isn’t always a smooth process. The San Francisco-based company creates tech-enabled services to help seniors find health insurance options and offers concierge support.
The company launched a new generative AI platform called Vox to further support seniors enrolling in Medicare.
The AI voice agent screens customers before they talk to a sales agent. It answers calls from potential customers, asks questions to understand their eligibility for Medicare and collects insights to direct them to the best plan for them.
Isn't that awesome? Go check them out.
