Lassie is a San Francisco-based company that uses AI agents to run the back office of independent medical practices, starting with dental clinics: reading insurance claims, reconciling payments, posting to the ledger and flagging claims that need human action, alongside insurance enrollment, appeals, reporting and follow-up work. As of June 2026 it serves more than 700 practices across 49 states, replacing roughly 250,000 hours of manual labour a year. Co-founders Steijn Pelle (an early product manager at Robinhood and Coinbase) and Frederic Renken (Superhuman's first product hire, previously at Uber) worked inside a partner dentist's office processing payments by hand before writing any code.
