AI Agent for Billpay platforms to pay invoices with virtual cards
We built an AI agent that plugs into accounts payable and spend management platforms. It scans invoices, identifies those eligible for virtual card payments, and completes payments securely through supplier portals or payment links. This helps platforms increase virtual card transaction volume without adding manual work.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to base the company here after YC too.
San Francisco is where our team lives and where the largest fintech and payments ecosystem is. Being here lets us work closely with early customers and partners and recruit talent.
