Follow new updates and improvements to Brite.

February 18th, 2026

Employees who access a Brite guide during open enrollment do so an average of 3.6 times. In other words, employees who do engage are digging in. Even so, we believe there is more the Brite platform can do to drive higher top-of-funnel results by helping Brokers and HR teams be more intentional about how they get guides into employees' hands. The features included in Brite’s new messaging enhancements are the first of many important steps our team is taking to help accomplish this goal.

What was enhanced?

Guides No Longer Need to be Attached to a Campaign

One key behavior that leads to higher employee guide engagement is communicating with employees outside the open enrollment window, whether throughout the year or in the week or two leading up to OE. To fully enable year-round education use cases, you are no longer required to attach a guide to the campaigns you send from Brite.

Campaign Templates Library

When drafting campaigns, save yourself time by starting with a template from our updated template library, with quick filters for specific topics like Open Enrollment , New Hire and more.

Redesigned Campaign Creation Flow

Creating campaigns now takes place in a single view, making it easier to for you to the details of your message before sending it off to employees. As you complete the content portion of the campaign you will see a preview of the content in the medium you selected for your campaign. For even more confidence before the launch of a campaign, use the Send a Test feature in the top right corner of the page to send your campaign to a yourself and a handful of other recipients.

Campaign Performance

Once your campaign is finished sending, you can review how its performing across each of the targeted recipients of that campaign. If a guide was attached, the performance dashboard will show you how many recipients clicked the link to that guide that was included in your campaign. Review data in aggregate or by individual recipient.

Messaging and the Benefits Assistant

For users utilizing Brite’s Benefits Assistant, you can now configure your assistant so it is accessible within the messaging mediums you leverage to communicate with employees (Slack, Text and Teams). Once configured, employees can get benefits related questions answered without needing to open their benefit guide.

Email Editor (Coming Soon)

One of the most recurring pieces of feedback we receive from users utlitizing Brite’s messaging features is regarding the the lack of creative control available within the current email editor experience. Our team is actively working on granting you full control over the content of the emails you create and send from Brite by providing a familiar editing experience. Stay tuned for our beta rollout of the new Brite Email Editor scheduled late Q1, 2026!

What's New

Beta

No matter how much you love your space, it's natural after a while to think, “Maybe I should rearrange the furniture” or “Should I paint the walls?”. This is also a common occurrence in software, and for less trivial reasons, we here at Brite have been asking ourselves similar questions.

The Brite admin experience has been long overdue for a fresh new look, an upgrade of sorts, both visually and in ways that provide more value to our users. We are excited to announce an updated interface that you will have the opportunity to preview before it officially launches.

How to Preview

Over the next few days, you will see a new button appear in your Side Navigation bar that says “Preview Brite UI”. Clicking that button will toggle on the new experience for the business you are currently in. When previewing the new interface, clicking the “Exit Brite UI” button will toggle off the experience.

What’s changing?

Though we made tweaks to where a handful of elements live, this update is primarily about how the Brite experience is presented. Here is what will feel new as you preview this interface.

  • Smaller headers + tighter spacing + modern type scale

  • Canvas-style layout with more space dedicated to the work area (benefits package forms, editor, analytics, etc.)

  • Warmer, softer color palette with a clearer visual hierarchy/contrast

  • The user profile has moved out of the header in the top right down to the bottom left of the page.

  • Notifications can be found by clicking on the user profile in the bottom left corner of the page

  • The company selector has moved out of the header and is now nested at the top of the left side navigation.

  • Past, Active and Upcoming tabs have been added to the Benefit Packages view. Benefit Packages will automatically be categorized into the appropriate tab based on the plan dates for that package.

  • A new component has been added to analytics dashboards highlight the dashboard name, description and included guides.

  • Tabs have been added to the Business Details to organize information.

  • Company Language has been renamed to Verbiage.

  • The Documents list is now a table that includes the document name, document type and date the document was uploaded.

  • Design Styles were updated to show the colors and fonts from the list view, so you no longer have to click into a Design Style to know if you found the one you’re searching for.

  • Users can now be found in the company kit.

  • A title field has been added to the users table.

One Brite builder’s response to this change was, “This is a game changer. It will take build times from hours to minutes.”

Smart Import your Benefits Data

Our new smart import functionality has been optimized to achieve over 90% accuracy when extracting details from PDF files such as Summary of Benefits and Coverages (SBCs), Plan Summaries and PDF Benefit Guides. This enhancement simplifies the intake and mapping of your benefit plans with unparalleled ease and precision.

Key Improvements

  • Increased Accuracy: PDFs are now processed with a remarkably high recognition rate, ensuring dependable autofill capabilities.

  • User-Driven Selection: Choose identified benefit plans before proceeding with import, reducing duplicates and ensuring completeness via categorized breakdowns.

  • Enhanced User Interface: Improved navigation while reviewing flagged fields or those with AI-derived suggestions.

  • Batch Processing: Streamline operations with the ability to upload multiple files simultaneously.

To access this feature:

  1. Navigate to the Benefits tab.

  2. Create a new benefits package and select "Smart Import."

  3. Alternatively, update an existing package by selecting documents via the Dashboard or by clicking "Add Benefit" and choosing "Smart Import."

This update significantly reduces data preparation time — transforming hours into mere minutes — leaving you with more time to focus on what matters most.

We are committed to consistently enhancing your experience and eagerly welcome your feedback for continued improvements!

What's New

Enhancements

Beta

Getting benefit details into Brite just got a whole lot smoother. We know importing plan data has been one of the most time-consuming steps. This release focuses on making it faster, more accurate, and easier to manage.

How to Update

To make the update, navigate to the “Benefits” tab in Brite, open up a Benefits Package, and click the “Update” button. All of your benefit packages (both new and existing) will be updated to the new UI, and any imported files will utilize the latest Smart Import functionality.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The new Smart Import works exceptionally well when importing PDFs, such as Benefit Summaries, SBCs or even last years PDF guide. The AI technology still struggles with spreadsheets, so you can expect to see extremely high accuracy with PDFs and moderate to high accuracy with spreadsheets.

What’s New

Improved Smart Import

  • We’ve upgraded our AI import to recognize plan values in your PDFs better. Try importing the Benefit Summary PDF from carriers or last years Benefit Guide PDF as a starting point! More accuracy, more fields identified—less manual cleanup.

Human-in-the-Loop Import Review

  • After you upload the file, you’ll see all detected plans. Select which plans to import, and correct any details, such as plan type. Then click “continue,” and we’ll only bring in details from the plans you chose.

Simpler, Faster Data Entry

  • Say goodbye to endless scrolling. The product form now uses tabs for quick navigation, with the employee-facing plan summary broken into smaller, relevant previews. When using the “smart import” feature, each field identified by our AI importer will be highlighted with an “AI Suggestion” pill. Click on this to accept or reject the value.

Automatic AI Suggestions

  • AI-suggested values are now placed directly into fields (highlighted for visibility). No more clicking “accept” one by one—just review and move on.

What’s next? The Review Modal

This is the game-changer. Instead of hunting through tabs to find the AI suggestions, flagged fields or empty fields, the Review Modal brings everything together into one place. In a single view, you can:

  • See all AI-suggested fields

  • Find flagged values that need your attention

  • Spot and fill in any empty fields

Once you’ve reviewed, you can finalize the plan with confidence—fast, clean, and complete.

Why It Matters

These changes save you time, reduce errors, and streamline the import process, allowing you to focus on what really matters: building engaging, employee-friendly benefit guides.

November 4th, 2025

Brite’s Benefits Assistant is officially available via open beta for all Brite customers. If you are interested in getting access, reach out to our Customer Success team at Success@britebenefits.com, and they will get things properly set up for your account.

Benefits Assistant

No matter how effective or thorough the content within a benefit guide, employees always have questions. Over the course of a year, those questions take hours of time away from your team (we’re seeing an average of 40 hours a month). With Brite’s all-new AI Benefits Assistant, employees can ask plain-language questions regarding their benefits and general health insurance terms and topics.

How it works

Ask questions directly within the digital benefit guide

  • Employees can type or speak their questions and receive their answers in the same manner

  • Content for responses is sourced from the text and files within your benefit guide

  • Sources within the guide are cited to provide employees more context around the topics they are interested in

  • When the decision tool is active, responses nudge employees toward receiving a recommendation where appropriate

Accessible from the mediums you use to communicate

  • If your team uses Brite’s Slack, Text or Microsoft Teams features to communicate, employees can respond back to the messages they receive with benefits questions for the Assistant to answer

  • Source citations provide pathways back to the digital benefit guide

Customizable to your business

  • Connect other guides and content within your account to the assistant to be used as additional sources for proper responses

  • Refine how the assistant handles specific question-answer pairings that your team cares about.

  • Select language for your assistant name and call to action that will resonate best with employees

Insights that improve your education experience

  • Response ratings can be left to improve the quality of the Assistant’s output

  • Review a ledger of interactions and summarized themes to better understand what questions employees are asking

  • Tweak content and response handling to reduce FAQs by theme


Why This Matters

  • For Employees: Employees can get fast, accurate, contextual responses within the guide without navigating or searching through pages for specific answers.

  • For HR Teams: Less time is spent fielding frequently asked questions

  • For Brokers: Employees have more pathways to both the guide and the decision tool and in turn, a deeper understanding of their benefits


Availability

  • Join the beta and get two months free of the Benefits Assistant.

  • If you are interested in getting access, reach out to our Customer Success team at Success@britebenefits.com, and they will get things properly set up for your account.

    • Toggle between low/medium/high medical usage
