§ Private Profile · New York City, NY, USA
AI software developer building AI teammates to automate operational tasks for insurance agencies across any AMS.
Key people at Acolite.
Acolite was founded in 2024 by Daniel Siryakov (Founder) and Barak Ben Noon (Founder).
Acolite is a New York-based software company that develops artificial intelligence applications designed to automate operational workflows and administrative tasks for commercial insurance agencies. The platform functions as a virtual teammate that integrates directly with existing agency management systems to process routine back-office operations, including handling new policy submissions, issuing certificates of insurance, and mapping schedules of values. Account managers interact with the system by forwarding client emails directly to the software, which then autonomously extracts relevant data and executes the required agency workflows without requiring manual intervention. Operating with a core team of three employees, the enterprise-focused insurtech startup recently participated in the highly competitive Y Combinator Spring 2025 accelerator batch, receiving strategic guidance from partner Diana Hu. Acolite was officially founded in 2024 by technology entrepreneurs Barak Ben Noon and Daniel Siryakov.

Key people at Acolite.
Acolite builds AI teammates specifically designed for insurance agencies to automate operational workflows such as submissions, issuing Certificates of Insurance (COIs), and Schedule of Values (SOV) mapping. Their AI works within existing Agency Management Systems (AMS), mimicking human account managers by reading and interpreting complex insurance documents, reducing manual data entry, and speeding up turnaround times. This allows independent agents and brokers to focus more on client relationships and advisory rather than administrative tasks, effectively scaling agencies without adding headcount[1][2][3][4].
Founded by Daniel Siryakov, a former machine learning engineer with experience in quant strategies and AI product management, and Barak Ben Noon, who led AI development for over a billion users at Google Docs, Acolite emerged from the need to alleviate the heavy operational burden on insurance agencies. The idea was to create AI teammates that work inside insurance operations, not just automate around them. Early traction came from agencies adopting Acolite as a virtual assistant replacement that is faster, scalable, and always available, handling tasks like COI issuance and carrier submissions seamlessly within existing workflows[4].
Acolite rides the growing trend of AI-driven automation in insurance operations, a sector traditionally burdened by manual, repetitive tasks. The timing is critical as insurance agencies face rising client expectations and a shrinking talent pipeline, making scalable AI teammates essential. Market forces such as digital transformation in insurance, advances in AI contextual understanding, and the need for operational efficiency favor Acolite’s approach. By embedding AI directly into workflows rather than as external automation, Acolite influences the broader ecosystem by setting a new standard for AI-human collaboration in insurance operations[1][2][4].
Looking ahead, Acolite is poised to expand its AI capabilities and integrations, potentially broadening its footprint across more insurance carriers and AMS platforms. Trends such as increased regulatory complexity, demand for faster client service, and AI advancements in natural language understanding will shape its journey. Its influence may evolve from operational automation to becoming a strategic AI partner for insurance agencies, helping them innovate client engagement and risk management. This aligns with its mission to let agencies scale without adding headcount, ultimately transforming how insurance operations are conducted[1][2][3][4].
