Sunny Health AI Welcomes Cekura and Posha to Sunny for Startups

SAN FRANCISCO — July 9, 2026 — Sunny Health AI today announced that Cekura and Posha have joined Sunny for Startups, Sunny's program that gives growing companies access to AI-powered healthcare navigation for their employees.

Cekura is building the testing and observability layer for AI voice and chat agents. Posha is building autonomous kitchen robotics designed to make home cooking feel effortless. Both companies are building products that make the future feel real — and both are now giving their teams a healthcare experience built around the same principle: intelligent agents that understand the task, do the work and close the loop.

Sunny for Startups was created to make high-quality healthcare navigation accessible, simple and transparent for companies earlier in their growth. Traditional healthcare navigation companies are often built around human labor, call centers and manual case management, and typically charge employers $10 to $20 per employee per month. Sunny is transparently priced at $1 per employee per month, giving startups access to AI-first healthcare navigation at a fraction of the traditional cost.

But Sunny is not simply a labor replacement technology.

Human-based navigation is expensive, but cost is only one part of the problem. The deeper limitation is that healthcare navigation requires continuously understanding benefits, provider networks, cost information, eligibility rules, scheduling availability and plan-specific requirements across a fragmented healthcare system. Human navigators are often forced to work from incomplete information, static directories and manual phone calls. They cannot reliably ingest, reconcile and act on all of the data required to make healthcare simple for every employee and every family member.

Sunny was built differently. Its AI agents combine benefits, network, cost and scheduling data with the ability to contact healthcare organizations and complete tasks on behalf of employees. The result is not just a lower-cost version of traditional navigation — it is a fundamentally more scalable, data-driven and action-oriented way to help people use their healthcare.

“Healthcare navigation should not be a black box. Companies deserve transparent pricing, employees deserve a simpler experience, and nobody should need a large benefits department just to help people use the healthcare they already have. Sunny for Startups gives every employee access to an intelligent healthcare advocate for $1 per employee per month.”

Healthcare benefits are often one of the largest investments a company makes in its employees, but actually using those benefits remains unnecessarily difficult. Employees are still left to determine which providers are in-network, whether a service is covered, what an appointment may cost, where to go for care and how to complete basic administrative tasks across a fragmented healthcare system.

Sunny gives employees one place to understand their benefits, find in-network care and get appointments booked — all with their existing insurance.

Through Sunny for Startups, employees can:

• Understand their medical, dental and pharmacy benefits
• Find appropriate, high-quality in-network providers
• Verify insurance coverage and expected costs
• Schedule, reschedule and cancel appointments
• Navigate referrals and other care requirements
• Identify lower-cost or more convenient care options
• Get support for spouses, children and other covered dependents

Unlike traditional navigation services that rely heavily on human operators, Sunny is built around AI agents that can independently gather information, contact healthcare organizations and complete tasks on behalf of employees.

A Healthcare Experience That Feels Like the Future

For Cekura CEO Tarush Agarwal, the impact of Sunny became clear during his own healthcare experience.

“Had an eye exam this morning and the receptionist at lenscrafters raved about the voice agent who booked my appointment Everything managed by the agents @SunnyHealthAI Definitely felt like living in the future”

That is the experience Sunny is designed to create: healthcare navigation that moves from question to completed action without requiring employees to spend hours researching providers, calling offices or trying to interpret their benefits on their own.

“Finding a doctor, determining whether that doctor accepts your insurance and scheduling an appointment should not require hours of research and phone calls. Our goal is to bring simplicity and transparency to healthcare by making Sunny the place people turn to whenever they need to understand or take action on their care.”

Supporting Employees Without Expanding HR Overhead

Fast-growing companies frequently operate with small people and operations teams. When employees encounter healthcare problems, those teams often become the default source of support despite having limited access to the information needed to resolve them.

Sunny for Startups gives employees a direct way to get answers and assistance while reducing the administrative burden placed on founders, people leaders and benefits teams.

Participating companies can offer Sunny as an employee benefit without implementing a complex new healthcare program, hiring additional internal staff or paying traditional navigation prices.

“Growing companies want to take care of their people, but the healthcare system was not designed to be easily navigated by employees or employers. Sunny provides the infrastructure to make that experience dramatically simpler, with pricing that is clear from day one.”

Making Advanced Healthcare Navigation Accessible to Startups

Healthcare navigation platforms have historically been built and priced for large employers and health plans. Sunny for Startups makes the same underlying capabilities available to companies much earlier in their growth.

The program is designed to grow alongside participating companies, from their earliest employees through later stages of expansion.

Sunny combines benefit information, provider data and autonomous AI agents to help employees understand what is covered, choose the right provider or program and get scheduled appointments. The company's broader platform supports health plans, employers, care-navigation organizations and other healthcare companies across workflows including provider search, network accuracy, eligibility and benefits verification, appointment scheduling and member navigation.
