American Growth Insurance’s app had a working AI assistant in 4 weeks.

American Growth Insurance (AGI) works from one thesis: brokerages carry too much back-office work for every producer, the agent who sells, and AI can automate that “dirty work” across real agencies.

Before launch, while still in stealth, AGI needed a working product to show about 10 U.S. agencies that were working with them as design partners. Slides weren’t going to hold up in investor diligence. The product had to handle real agency work: reading documents, research, running code, and writing content. It also needed secure sign-in, isolated code execution, and audit logs.

This was a Fixed-Scope Project: 4 weeks, with success written down before I started. Done meant a working demo, the infrastructure to run it, and a handoff.

I built it inside the app they already had, in their repo and on their team’s cadence, and kept it consistent with the app’s existing design.

I built the assistant, SuperAgent, into their app on two backends. The app’s own backend handles sign-in, users, and saved data, and a second backend runs the AI tools and workflows.

• Users upload documents and the assistant reads them. It parses files in several formats and pulls out the data, and it can research the web live, with citations.
• It builds PowerPoint decks, runs code, and scaffolds simple web apps. Code runs in an isolated sandbox, and the user sees the output live.
• Tools live in a registry, and a workflow manager runs them. Adding a capability means registering a new tool.
• It works with models from several AI providers. Answers stream to the screen as they’re generated.
• The infrastructure is defined in code. It deploys through CI/CD, with monitoring, autoscaling, caching, and audit logging.

• The assistant shipped inside their app in 4 weeks. It matches the app’s existing design, so it looks like part of their product.
• About 10 design-partner agencies used it during stealth. Source: AGI’s launch post, opens in a new tab.
• AGI launched publicly in July 2026. Its launch post, opens in a new tab and PR Newswire release, opens in a new tab report ~$70M in committed equity from Atomic and Rockbridge Growth Equity, a first acquisition closed, and a path to $10M+ in revenue through a roll-up. Those are AGI’s results as a company. My part was the assistant.
• The assistant was used to test the product and to raise capital. What AGI learned in that testing led to a strategic pivot, and a new team rebuilt the product.
