Too often, late payment isn’t a mistake—it’s a strategy. Working capital has become a battleground, where suppliers are forced to finance their customers. Business is built on trust, and we believe commitments should be honoured. As a former CFO, I've seen first-hand finance teams drowning in billing queries and tirelessly chasing invoices with reminders that customers ignore. I've seen AR teams managing hundreds of open threads in shared finance-inboxes or ticketing systems that were never designed for it. I've seen teams so overwhelmed by volumes of queries and follow-ups that they don't have time to send personalised reminders to overdue customers. And I've seen customers making a habit of paying late, ignoring automated reminders and searching for small faults in invoices simply to buy time. AI agents are phenomenal at automating conversational work. We have already seen this in customer support. AI agents can manage the full two-way conversation with customers, take action across systems, and respond with context in a way that feels human. In practice, they already meet the standard of a Turing test in everyday work. Now these agentic capabilities are coming to finance. AI agents can handle billing queries and manage collections conversations end to end, with context. As Matt Ridley writes in The Rational Optimist, "Innovation comes from ideas having sex". Paraglide is a love-child between an AI customer support agent and an AI outbound sales representative, applied to Accounts Receivable. It's the smartest way to get paid on time. We are building this future now. If this resonates with you, explore our careers page or book a demo with us today. Rasmus Areskoug Co-founder & CEO
