Daylit Uses AI to Help Companies Get Paid Faster
In this article, you’ll discover:
- How a new AI platform helps businesses collect money faster.
- The secret to dropping manual work by 40 hours a week.
- Why spotting risky accounts early prevents lost revenue.
- How instant payment data gives leaders a clear cash picture.
It can be highly frustrating when you do great work but wait forever to get paid. Finance teams today face lean budgets and mounting pressure to track cash accurately. The good news is that new tools are making this much easier. Daylit has just launched an AI platform to help businesses handle their accounts receivable. This system helps finance groups turn unpaid bills into a strong cash flow advantage. Early users are already seeing major results, including a massive drop in manual work by over 40 hours a week.
Jared Shulman is the CEO and Co-Founder of Daylit. He explains why this matters: “As invoice volumes grow and payment cycles become more unpredictable, finance teams need systems that don’t just surface problems but actively solve them. 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.”
The results speak for themselves. Aaron Lynch, VP of Finance at Maintera, shared his positive experience: “Daylit has been transformative for us. 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.”
Jerry Shu, CTO and Co-Founder of Daylit, highlights the technical challenge involved in doing this correctly: “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. 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.”
Spotting Risk Early
Most software only tells you what people owe. Daylit goes much further. It connects directly to your existing systems. The software looks at customer history and communication habits to find accounts that might pay late. It spots these warning signs early, which helps you step in before an account becomes a total loss.
Taking Automatic Action
Nobody likes sending endless follow up emails. Daylit uses smart AI tools to handle this outreach. The system automatically sends emails, texts, and phone reminders. It pulls in past invoice details so every message makes perfect sense. This helps increase email replies by a huge margin, reaching near 50% compared to the normal 15%. Best of all, it handles this without needing human help.
Better Cash Visibility
Knowing exactly how much money is coming in is vital for any company. As new payment data arrives, Daylit instantly updates your cash flow predictions. This gives leaders a clear and true picture of where their company money stands at all times.
Built for The Future
Daylit recently secured a massive $110 million funding round to keep building these helpful features. The company also finished a major security check to keep user data safe. By focusing on real actions instead of just keeping records, they are helping businesses successfully collect hundreds of millions in unpaid bills.
