Buddy (iambuddy.com, now buddy.insure) is a digital insurance commerce platform that turns insurance product rules, pricing, and workflows into structured data via its Insurance Object Notation (ION) engine, so carriers, MGAs, brokers, and agents can sell P&C insurance online across direct, agent-assisted, embedded, and agentic channels without core-system changes. Its Offer Element embeddable checkout widget adds quote, apply, bind, and pay in a few lines of code, and Buddy MCP connects insurance products to AI assistants such as Claude for conversational selling. Founded by Charles Merritt and David Vogeleer in Richmond, Virginia, Buddy is licensed in all 50 states and is SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS compliant, working with carriers including Allstate, Aon, W.R. Berkley, Chubb, Great American, and Starr.
