Cusplight
In pilot
Denied dental claims, resolved.
Finds every denied line on a dental office’s insurance statements, drafts the appeal with the records the insurer wants, and tracks the claim until it pays.

Hitogai is a team of University of Minnesota students. We pick a real, expensive problem and ship the whole product: research, software, compliance and sales. Right now that’s Cusplight and Hitogai Agents.
Every product starts with a real, expensive problem. Then we ship the whole thing: the research, the software, the compliance and the sales.
How we work
One problem, the whole product.

Pick a real, expensive problem
Dental offices leave denied insurance claims unworked, because nobody has time to find out why each one was denied.
Two products, and the platform behind them.
What we’ve built
Hitogai Agents
Early access
AI agents for operations teams.
Agents that run a team’s written playbook on the systems it already uses, with only the access each task needs and a person approving what matters.

Internal
The platform behind the company.
Our own platform for tickets, knowledge, financial records and reporting: a web app and a native iOS app on one shared backend.
Team sign-inPeople decide
Software drafts. A person signs off.
Our products do the reading and the drafting, and a person approves anything that matters. Cusplight’s appeals wait for the dentist. Hitogai Agents stop at an approval gate before anything that sends, pays or changes a record.
What every product we build has in common.
What we believe
A real, expensive problem
Each product starts from a problem that already costs someone money, like the dental claims insurers deny.
The whole product
The software is only part of it. We do the research, the compliance work and the selling ourselves.
Compliance from day one
We design for the rules from the start. Cusplight needs a signed BAA before any patient data comes in.
The systems behind it
We build our own tools too. Hitogai Operations runs our tickets, knowledge, finances and reports.
What is Hitogai?
In short
Hitogai is a team of University of Minnesota students that builds software products and the systems behind them, end to end. Christopher Dahl founded it in Minneapolis in 2026, with co-founders Wyatt Stanczyk and Joey Balsanek.
Hitogai makes two products. Cusplight helps dental offices recover denied insurance claims: it finds each denied line, drafts the appeal with the records the insurer wants, and tracks the claim until it pays. Hitogai Agents gives operations teams AI agents that run their written playbooks, with a person approving anything that sends, pays or changes a record. The team runs itself on Hitogai Operations, its own internal platform.
