Ty Robben is not a tech expert, nor is he an AI wizard. In fact he's an underwriter and someone who probably leans more to the 'old fashioned' way of doing things but that does not mean he's not trying make business processes better. We met via social media on X as Ty described his efforts to build practical AI solutions for his needs. He has been journalling his process and we wanted to talk to the man in person and hear how he bucked the trend of outsourcing and decided to build it himself. In this episode: How AI has become a tool for Ty and the processes he wants to improve Where he has seen AI providers miss the mark entirely What problems insurance entities & people face that AI can help with Some of the challenges that still exist with AI that no one wants to address How easy and accessible solving problems with AI tools is and where you can start Ty is a soft spoken but incredibly curious insurance professional, and shares his journey from entering the industry to now building process solutions with AI despite not being a 'techie' or part of an IT team. He simply sees a better way and has decided to pursue it! See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
