AI can read your policy.
But can it understand it?
Insurance is written at university-level complexity. Without human judgment, AI just automates bad decisions at scale.
Norte only works because we built the systems around the AI.

Amex Platinum just jumped to $895/year 💳
But there's $1,020 in NEW credits hidden in the fine print:
- $400 Resy dining
- $300 Lululemon
- $200 Oura Ring
- $120 Uber One
Problem: They're quarterly use-or-lose credits. Miss Q4 enrollment? You're leaving $175 on the table.

Not all launch directories are equal. I tested a few for Norte:
•Peerlist → traffic, users, upvotes
•Uneed → zero traffic, but maybe SEO value
Lesson: some platforms are for visibility, others are just for backlinks. Learning where to spend energy is part of the game.

Launched norteapp.io most of them did not bring much results, others - multiple upvotes and signups.
It’s been interesting to see how the platform performed on each directory.

15 upvotes + 3 signups on day 1 might sound small. But for a new category with no playbook, that’s a big win for me.
