Daylit Launches AI Agents to Bring Autonomous Collections and Real-Time Cash Intelligence to Finance Teams

Platform improves recovery rates, eliminates manual follow-up, and frees finance teams to focus on higher-impact work

BOSTON—March 31, 2026 — Daylit today launched its AI agents platform for accounts receivable (AR), enabling finance teams to accelerate collection and transform receivables into a strategic driver of working capital performance. Early adopters have increased collections on high-risk accounts by nearly 3x, reduced manual follow-up work by more than 40 hours per week, lowered AR operating costs by more than 75%, and achieved email reply rates of approximately 50%—more than triple the industry average of 15%.

Finance teams are dealing with delayed payments, leaner headcount, and increasing pressure to forecast cash accurately, but most AR systems still only show what’s owed without helping teams act on it. Daylit is built as a system of action, not just a system of record. The platform serves as an end-to-end execution layer across AR workflows that gives finance teams a definitive source of truth to see what is owed, understand why it hasn't been paid, and automatically take action without the manual effort of tagging accounts, drafting emails, or pulling reports across systems.

“As invoice volumes grow and payment cycles become more unpredictable, finance teams need systems that don't just surface problems but actively solve them,” said Jared Shulman, CEO and Co-Founder of Daylit. “We built Daylit because AR is one of the clearest places where AI agents can move from suggesting actions to actually driving outcomes by sending the right message, at the right time, through the right channel, without someone having to manage every step.”

By connecting directly to a company’s ERP, CRM, and communication channels, Daylit enables finance teams to:

  • Identify risk early. The platform flags accounts that show signs of delayed or missed payment, based on their history, communication patterns, and real-time signals—before they become write-offs.
  • Take action automatically. AI agents autonomously handle follow-ups across email, phone, and text by pulling in invoice history, documentation, and prior commitments to send accurate, context-aware outreach without manual intervention.
  • Improve cash visibility. Cash flow projections are updated continuously as new payment data, communications, and customer behavior are received, providing finance leadership with a real-time picture of where receivables stand.

"Daylit has been transformative for us,” said Aaron Lynch, VP of Finance at Maintera, a leading national provider of comprehensive facility management services. “As a PE-backed company, working capital is always top of mind, and missing on collections isn’t an option. Within the first 30 days with Daylit, we improved current AR by 16% without adding headcount."

Daylit has already helped more than 200 companies recover hundreds of millions of dollars in outstanding receivables. Today's launch brings AI agents to the core of that platform—turning what was a system of intelligence into a system of action across every AR workflow.

"The technical challenge in AR isn’t generating a message. It’s understanding account context, customer behavior, payment commitments, and escalation paths well enough to act responsibly on behalf of the business," said Jerry Shu, CTO and Co-Founder of Daylit. “Our agents learn how each customer pays—when they respond, what channels work, whether they follow through—and adapt over time. They get smarter with every interaction, so collections keep improving without extra effort."

Daylit’s AI agents are available now. The launch builds on the company’s $110 million funding round in September 2025, led by Companyon Ventures with participation from NextView Ventures, SixThirty Ventures, Viola Credit, and executives from Meta and Yelp. In February 2026, Daylit completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type I examination.
