Could you build this?
No ZeroSettle provisions and operates actual Apple hardware farms to send native iMessages and tapbacks via Apple's proprietary APNs and message protocols. Orchestrating physical Apple devices, SIM cards, and reverse-engineering or automating macOS/iOS Messages at scale is deeply specialized systems and infrastructure work.
What it would actually take: Requires running a physical server farm of Mac Minis or jailbroken/MDM-managed iPhones, running custom automation daemons (AppleScript, private Barcelona/BlueBubbles APIs, or reverse-engineered push notification daemons) connected to pooled eSIM/SIM banks. Hard challenges include bypassing Apple's aggressive spam detection, account suspensions, rate limiting, and building an E.164 routing layer with resilient webhooks.

Nobody's really built a vertical saas tool for Insurance yet.
