Welcome to the February Roundup! This month we’ve explored a theme that’s quickly defining the future of fintech: intelligent automation done responsibly. From building Responsible AI frameworks and unpacking the quiet rise of agentic AI in financial operations, to a deep dive on how AI agents are reshaping SMB lending in 2026 (plus our recent Forbes feature), the through line is clear: AI is no longer experimental, it’s operational. We’re also excited to announce our newest feature, Document Metadata and Validation, designed to bring even more structure, transparency, and confidence to the way documents move through the lending lifecycle. Smarter systems, stronger controls, and faster decisions.
