Fiserv has partnered with Stuut Technologies to modernise B2B receivables processes through AI-enabled automation. The collaboration integrates Fiserv's Commerce Hub payment platform and SnapPay order-to-cash solution with Stuut's AI capabilities to support collections, cash application, payments, disputes, and deductions for eligible enterprise clients. Founded in 2024, Stuut uses agentic AI to automate accounts receivable workflows. The company's AI agent has collected over $2 billion in B2B invoices. The platform integrates with major financial systems including SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. The partnership aims to help organisations reduce manual work, improve working capital management, and enhance cash flow visibility. Stuut is backed by Andreessen Horowitz, Activant Capital, and Khosla Ventures.

Daily AI Digest: Voyage agents, receivables and Cloudflare OS. This is the GolemWorkers Daily AI Digest for August 5. Today's edition follows agents that plan sea voyages, collect overdue invoices, surface contract obligations, build internal apps, enforce endpoint rules and coordinate coding work - then gives you a supervised vendor-renewal agent you can put to work. ZeroNorth's Propel agent plans voyages and handles ship-to-shore follow-up. Propel builds voyage plans, exchanges feedback with a ship's master and re-optimizes when weather or routing changes. The early-access service works overnight at a supervised autonomy level, leaving operators a prioritized queue and the final decision on what gets sent. Fiserv and Stuut bring an accounts-receivable agent into enterprise payments. Fiserv will connect Stuut's agent with Commerce Hub and SnapPay for eligible businesses, covering collections, cash application, payments, disputes and deductions inside existing finance systems. Stuut says its agent has already collected more than $2 billion in B2B invoices; rollout remains subject to availability and implementation requirements. Ironclad agents turn supplier contracts into renewal and savings alerts. Ironclad's new procurement capabilities extract renewal windows, discounts, rebates, credits and termination rights, while a Contract Family Agent links related supplier agreements into one view. Procurement and legal teams can act on obligations before deadlines instead of searching scattered PDFs and spreadsheets. Cloudflare open-sources a workplace OS where agents build apps and workflows. Cloudflare OS gives each employee a browser workspace grounded in company context and connected tools. Its agents can research, create documents, build shareable internal apps and schedule repeatable workflows, while Gatekeepers limit the resources they can read and require approval for sensitive actions. Airlock adds real-time endpoint rules for trusted AI agents. Airlock Digital's Agentic AI Control & Governance discovers agents, records their commands and files, and checks each requested action against central policy on the endpoint. It is designed to work across supported tools including Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Codex, with general availability expected in the third quarter. Claude Code closes subagent isolation gaps and screens cross-agent messages. Claude Code 2.1.222 now keeps worktree-isolated subagents from running destructive Git commands against the main checkout, closes an auto-allow hook bypass in background tasks and applies its permission classifier to messages sent between agent sessions. The previous day's 2.1.221 release also added masked credential files on Linux and WSL and gives forked sessions separate worktrees. Agent idea of the day Build a vendor-renewal watchdog before the deadline. What this agent does. Continuously find upcoming supplier and software renewals, assemble the evidence needed to keep, renegotiate or cancel each one, and stop before any external commitment. Best for: Founders, finance leads and operations teams managing recurring software, services or supplier agreements across inboxes, shared drives and spreadsheets. Give it. * A read-only folder of executed contracts, order forms and invoices * A current vendor list with owners, spend and actual usage * Your notice periods, approval thresholds and preferred escalation channel Tell it to. * Inventory each agreement and extract its renewal date, notice window, owner, price, discounts, rebates and termination terms. * Check the approved usage and billing records, then flag duplicate tools, low adoption, price changes and missed contractual benefits. * Prepare a keep, renegotiate or cancel recommendation with the evidence, uncertainty and deadline shown plainly. * Draft the internal approval note and any vendor email, but do not send, accept terms, cancel service or change payment details. * Wait for the named owner's approval, record the decision and schedule the next checkpoint with a complete audit trail. Run it: Run weekly and again 90, 60 and 30 days before each renewal or notice deadline; alert immediately when a price change or cancellation window appears. You get. A prioritized renewal queue with spend, usage, contractual leverage, recommended action, draft communications and the exact human approval still required. Keep a human in control. * Use read-only access by default and expose only the contracts and financial records assigned to the agent. * Never send vendor messages, accept new terms, cancel a service, move money or alter payment details without explicit approval. * Escalate ambiguous clauses, privacy terms, regulated data, material disputes and high-value commitments to legal or finance owners. * Show source documents, calculations and uncertainty so a human can verify every recommendation. Feasibility: Ironclad's August 5 release documents production capabilities that extract renewal windows, discounts, credits, rebates, termination rights and payment terms, and organize related supplier agreements. Those functions support a supervised renewal-monitoring workflow; this recipe adds usage checks, explicit approval stops and a complete evidence trail before any external action. Source: Ironclad

Stuut Technologies has raised $29.5 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Activant Capital, Khosla Ventures and others. The company has developed an AI platform that autonomously handles accounts receivable work for mid-market and enterprise companies. The platform executes complete AR workflows including collections, payments, cash application and deductions, integrating with existing ERP systems in under a week. Stuut claims to reduce overdue balances by 40% and manual tasks by 70%, compared to traditional AR software requiring 6-18 months for implementation. Founded by Tarek Alaruri, Miraj Mohsin and Ben Winter, Stuut serves customers including ZoomInfo, Honeywell and PerkinElmer. The funding will accelerate product development and expand autonomous capabilities across collections, payments, cash application, deductions, credits and disputes.
