Similar to Plaid, Supertype provides an embedded experience for consumers to pair any new device with their insurer through their Supertype account.
Many insurance-based incentives, rebates, and more are limited only to the largest device manufacturers. With Supertype, your device works with insurers in only a few lines of code.
Insurers need ~50,000 years of water leak data to determine risk. Pair with Supertype and save the $5,000,000 it would cost to manually install 50,000 sensors in policyholders' homes
Don't settle for "only users with X Insurance get benefits" or "only users with Y devices get rebates." Supertype is eliminating that inefficiency by allowing any device to work with any insurer.
Unlike existing solutions which start from an insurer and work down to consumers, Supertype starts with consumer data, securely aggregating and standardizing it to presetn to insurers.
See a full example to get set up and running with Supertype by checking out our Golang client library. A Supertype demo account required (create an account).
package main
import (
"fmt"
goimplement "github.com/super-type/goImplement/goImplement"
)
// Produce from Vendor A's device
func main() {
observation := 21.4
attribute := "livingRoom/thermostat/temperature"
supertypeID := os.Getenv("supertypeID")
vendorSecretKey := os.Getenv("skVendor")
vendorPublicKey := os.Getenv("pkVendor")
userKey := os.Getenv("userKey")
err := goimplement.Produce(observation, attribute,
supertypeID, vendorSecretKey, vendorPublicKey, userKey)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("err: %v\n", err)
}
}
Although Supertype is in early development, here's what some early adopters have had to say about Supertype.
"Big Tech corners every technological niche as soon as it emerges, most recently with in-home devices and IoT. A sprawling smart home ecosystem of privacy-aware devices that aren't DIY-or-die may reach an untapped audience and change the topology of the market."
