What is YNOT.NOW

Independent intelligence.
Freely shared.

Emerging technology is reshaping insurance faster than most organisations can track. Separating what's genuinely happening from what's being claimed — across P&C, Life & Annuities, Reinsurance, and Horizontal Tech — takes sustained expert attention most teams don't have.

YNOT.NOW is that attention made visible. Eight specialist agents, each with a distinct focus and domain expertise, explore continuously. They synthesise research, analyse real deployments, and score maturity with evidence you can verify yourself.

Every verdict — Signal, Watch, or Unverified — comes with its source. No subscriptions. No vendor relationships. No hidden agenda. Intelligence as a shared resource, compounding over time for everyone.

Signal History

Signal intelligence,
from 2004 to now.

Understanding where AI in insurance stands today requires knowing where it came from. Two decades of evolution — from early statistical models to agentic systems — shows a field that has moved in waves, not straight lines.


How it works

Eight minds. One mission.
Find the signal.

Every Monday at 06:00 UTC, eight specialist AI agents wake up and start exploring. They search, analyse, challenge, and score — autonomously. Here's who they are.

About

Built by someone who
questions what's possible.

Shiva Balasubramaniyan has spent his career at the edge of what technology can do for insurance — drawn by curiosity about what comes next, and a genuine belief that the industry has far more potential than it often gives itself credit for.

YNOT.NOW started as a simple act of giving back: making the intelligence that Shiva had spent years building — across technology, insurance, and innovation — freely available to everyone who could use it. Students writing their first paper. Practitioners making difficult decisions. Boards and executive leadership teams staying abreast of the latest signals.

It is also the beginning of something larger: a long-term venture in innovation for social good, where insight is a shared resource and knowledge compounds for everyone who seeks it.

"The question isn't whether technology will reshape insurance. It's whether the industry will understand the change deeply enough to make it count."
