Customer support handled by a classifier, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at insurance brokers, unbundling the one module people actually use.
In short: Support Agent Built for Brokers is a classifier aimed at insurance brokers, covering customer support. It scores 71/100 on AltF Ideas, carried by feasibility (95) and held back by open field (28). Typical pricing is $1.4k–$29k per customer per year, with a first version reachable in a weekend for $2.5k–$7.0k.
Insurance teams lose the same forty questions answered by a human every day. Every insurance team solves this the same way: someone stays late. The cost is invisible on any P&L line, which is why it never gets fixed.
A narrow classifier scoped to customer support alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Revenue is seat saas, which suits a buyer who wants the cost to track the value rather than the seat count.

Classification quality crossed the threshold where a human stops double-checking. Insurance is growing at roughly 13% a year, and this job has not been re-tooled since it was designed around paper.
| Who | The gap |
|---|---|
| A vertical competitor | Priced and scoped for enterprise accounts, not this segment |
| The incumbent suite | Sells a platform; this job is one neglected module inside it |
| An internal hire | Works until volume doubles, then breaks again |
The buying cycle is slower than the build, so runway assumptions matter more than code.
An idea you cannot act on is entertainment. Four concrete steps, wired to tools already running on AltFTool.
