Lula Technologies settles federal employment lawsuit following mediation

LULA Technologies , which has since rebranded to Nothing Technologies and operates as Gail , has reached a confidential settlement to resolve a federal lawsuit filed by former employee Kayla Gilchrist.

The agreement, confirmed by a court filing on November 20, 2025, signals an end to the litigation in the case, Gilchrist v. Lula Technologies, Inc. et al. The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida in February 2025, named both Lula Technologies, Inc. and Vishaal Pandya as defendants and included a demand for a jury trial.

The complaint alleged a host of federal and state employment and labor law violations. Specifically, Gilchrist claimed she experienced unequal pay and resources, stating that she was repeatedly denied a functioning laptop and assigned outdated equipment while newer devices were allocated to others. Furthermore, she alleged exclusion from opportunities, claiming she was excluded from meetings, missed out on commission-eligible roles, and had sales leads reassigned to male colleagues. Central to the allegations was an instance of discrimination, where the complaint stated a senior HR leader told her, “you cannot advance here because you are not a white male.”

The lawsuit sought back pay, unpaid commissions, the cash value of vested equity, and compensatory and punitive damages related to her alleged wrongful termination. The specific financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed in the public court report.

LULA initially provided insurance infrastructure for rental, car-sharing, trucking, and logistics businesses. With the shift to Gail, it focuses on voice AI for insurance, banking, and finance. Separately, LULA is involved in a legal dispute with its former broker, AssuredPartners. This follows the collapse of LULA’s commercial auto program and technology platform, which had been backed by $60 million from investors, including Founders Fund and Khosla Ventures.
