# Buddy (iambuddy.com / buddy.insure)

> Buddy is a digital insurance commerce platform that turns insurance product rules, pricing, and workflows into structured data via its Insurance Object Notation (ION) engine, so carriers, MGAs, brokers, and agents can sell P&C insurance online across direct, agent-assisted, embedded, and agentic channels. Its Offer Element embeddable checkout adds quote/apply/bind/pay in a few lines of code, and Buddy MCP connects insurance products to AI assistants for conversational selling. SOC 2 Type 2 and PCI DSS compliant; licensed in all 50 states.
