1 00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:03.140 Welcome to the 2026 Broker Fair in New York City. 2 00:00:03.260 --> 00:00:06.780 I'm now joined with Ada Ujile with Agentys. 3 00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:08.000 So great to have you here. 4 00:00:08.180 --> 00:00:09.880 Well, thank you so much. Thanks for having me. 5 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:11.600 So tell me about Agentys. 6 00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.240 Oh, yeah. So Agentys is an agentic AI company. 7 00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:17.980 We build AI agents that address the full life 8 00:00:18.060 --> 00:00:21.880 cycle of revenue-based financing, all the way from origination to 9 00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:24.700 underwriting to collections to recovery. 10 00:00:24.710 --> 00:00:28.690 You're so necessary and such a hot topic today about how AI is being 11 00:00:28.740 --> 00:00:30.279 integrated into the industry. 12 00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:34.060 Right. Oh, well, actually, we think the future of AI is just in its 13 00:00:34.100 --> 00:00:37.820 early stages. Our expectation is that a lot of the work that's 14 00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:39.100 currently being done 15 00:00:40.500 --> 00:00:44.460 by human team members is going to be done by AI agents, allowing human team 16 00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:46.780 members to actually make these higher-level decisions. 17 00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:49.280 But not getting rid of the people. 18 00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.020 That is correct. 19 00:00:50.160 --> 00:00:50.400 Okay. 20 00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:54.070 So it's basically the idea is, how do you make funding decisions faster? 21 00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:58.360 And from an economics perspective, that obviously ensures that companies get funded 22 00:00:58.380 --> 00:01:01.620 faster and ultimately allows them to run and operate their businesses. 23 00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:03.760 And then how do you also make sure that you don't have 24 00:01:04.720 --> 00:01:08.190 high collection rates, and how do you mitigate against that using AI agents that 25 00:01:08.220 --> 00:01:11.760 can act around the clock to ensure that you actually have better recovery 26 00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:12.380 operations? 27 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.360 They come to you. 28 00:01:13.900 --> 00:01:14.420 That's correct. 29 00:01:16.960 --> 00:01:20.800 Now, imagine a future where four to five individuals come 30 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.680 into this space and are able to run the same funding operations that 31 00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:27.140 currently takes 80 to 100 people to run. 32 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:31.520 It means more players operating faster, lower barriers to entry in 33 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:32.000 many ways. 34 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:35.580 We've got to keep things moving. We're in New York. It's fast-paced. 35 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:35.730 Hey. 36 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:36.600 People can't be waiting. 37 00:01:36.700 --> 00:01:39.980 That's the nature of New York, right? Everyone wants faster customer service. 38 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:43.910 So when you think of Amazon, when they went to same-day delivery, people wondered, 39 00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:47.140 "How is that going to be possible?" And now people expect their items in three 40 00:01:47.260 --> 00:01:47.520 hours. 41 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:49.840 So how has Broker Fair been for you so far today? 42 00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:52.720 Oh, it's been excellent. A lot of folks have come by our booth. 43 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:56.380 It's one of the electronic ones here in the area, and we wanted to 44 00:01:56.420 --> 00:02:00.320 introduce the community to our AI agents in person and hear their voices. 45 00:02:00.790 --> 00:02:04.300 And so every AI agent has a persona, and having folks come over and ask really 46 00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:07.060 interesting questions, it's been very productive, and we'll definitely do the next 47 00:02:07.100 --> 00:02:07.240 one. 48 00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:11.380 I love that, and it's such exciting-- That's one of the best things about Broker 49 00:02:11.460 --> 00:02:13.740 Fair is people getting together and being in person. 50 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:18.280 Absolutely.
