Could you build this?
No Operating an insurance brokerage and delegated purchase API requires state-by-state licensing, carrier appointments, and stringent financial regulatory compliance that vibe coding cannot provide.
What it would actually take: Building an automated insurance broker requires obtaining property & casualty insurance broker licenses across multiple jurisdictions, establishing legal agency appointments with insurance carriers, and integrating carrier quoting/underwriting APIs (or EDI/ACORD XML protocols). The technical layer needs SOC2-compliant secure data pipelines and an MCP/OpenAPI interface to safely handle personal identifiable financial data.
