For over 30 years, Lifeguide has been the trusted multi-carrier quoting tool for Canadian insurance advisors — powering more than 280,000 quotes per month across Canada. Now, Equisoft/lifeguide has been rebuilt from the ground up: fully browser-based, AI-powered, and seamlessly integrated into the Equisoft advisor suite.
In this product launch webinar, our team walks you through everything that’s new: the quoting experience, the AI-assisted client reports, and how it connects with Equisoft/connect and Equisoft/plan to eliminate duplicate data entry across your practice.

What you’ll learn #
- Why Lifeguide was rebuilt. After 30+ years as Canada’s leading multi-carrier quoting tool — with more than 3 million quotes processed annually — the desktop experience had real limitations. Learn what drove the decision to build a fully web-based, mobile-responsive replacement, and what stayed exactly the same.
- How the quoting engine works. Equisoft/lifeguide aggregates rates, underwriting rules, and product structures from 33 Canadian carriers across 2,000+ insurance plans in real time. See how side-by-side comparisons are generated in seconds for term, whole life, participating, and more.
- What AI does (and doesn’t do) in your workflow. The quote insight tool uses a large language model (LLM) to draft plain-language summaries of recommended products for your client reports. No personal identifiable information (PII) is sent to the model; only anonymous quote data.
- How it connects to your Equisoft suite. Launch a quote directly from Equisoft/connect or Equisoft/plan. Client data flows automatically across products: no re-entry, no switching platforms, one login via SSO.
- How to access the free trial. Existing Equisoft/connect and Equisoft/plan users were automatically activated on June 8. New users can register via the form. The free trial runs until July 10, 2026.
