The AI foundry for the $5 trillion American employee benefits safety net.

We combine twenty years of enterprise experience with AI-native innovation. We aren't just building software; we are building the intelligence that finally makes employee benefits understandable, accessible, and personal.

From the founders who built the enterprise platforms used by 28 Million Employees covered by the industry’s largest insurance carriers, and over 1 Million Employers. We spent two decades scaling the industry's giants; now, we’re building the AI tools they (and we) always dreamed of.

Artificial Intellegence

Meet Benny.

AI that actually knows your benefits.

General AI knows “the world," but it doesn’t know your company. Benny is different. He is grounded in your specific employer document libraries. He doesn't guess; he knows.

  • Grounded in Truth: Answers are derived from your company’s actual benefit documents.
  • Contextual Intelligence: Provides accurate, link-backed answers that consumer chatbots cannot.
Products

The product ecosystem.

The Engine

SwellSpace

A high-performance document repository designed specifically for semantic understanding. It is the foundation that allows AI assistants and agents to navigate complex insurance language with precision.

The Interface

Benny

The conversational face of modern benefits. Benny helps insurance carriers, employer HR teams, and the many companies inside the benefits ecosystem, set up communication sites and answers direct employee questions 24/7, reducing frustration at the point of key financial decisions.

In our pocket

SwellChat

We did a soft launch of our 3Together lab during the pandemic. We tinkered with a secure video communications platform that connects HR departments, insurance carriers, and brokers with employees to discuss sensitive private information. Leading up to market launch, we decided to put SwellChat in our pocket for future use. We have some ideas of how it might be valuable underneath Benny and future AI assistants and agents and the people they interact with.

Story

The arc of innovation.

We aren’t outsiders looking to “disrupt" an industry we don’t understand. We built the digital architecture that the industry relies on today. Our founders spent over twenty years scaling platforms that reached more than 28 million employees. We saw firsthand where the system works—and where its complexity fails the very people it’s meant to protect.

In 2020, we returned to our roots to start 3Together. We moved away from the traditional SaaS of the past to create an AI Foundry—a lab where we can build the "Intelligence Layer" the industry has been missing.

Mission

Innovation with purpose.

We believe that technological success is a platform for human progress. Our co-founder and lead investor, Shawn Jenkins, is the primary benefactor of the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital in Charleston, SC.

Shawn’s involvement with the children’s hospital reflects a deep-seated commitment: that the same spirit of research and development we use to solve AI and software problems can be used to solve the world's most difficult pediatric illnesses. While 3Together is a commercial laboratory, its success fuels Shawn’s personal mission of funding pediatric medical research and supporting the scientists working toward tomorrow’s breakthroughs. His intent is to use the majority of his 3Together ownership to fund pediatric medical research and care.
