Beyond the Model

Every FI is running AI pilots. Almost none are running AI. Beyond the Model is an unscripted conversation with Snehal Fulzele, founder of Uptiq, tackling the tough questions banks ask before deploying AI and revealing what must exist under the hood before an institution can truly trust an agent.

The $500 million feature

At one of our AI Innovation Workshops, an executive built a loan pricing and profitability agent in an afternoon. Then someone in the room did the math. A few years earlier, a company that did essentially the same thing had been acquired for over half a billion dollars.

"For my entire career, expertise has been rationed by budget. That's the thing that's changing."

EP 04 | The $500 million feature

Build it. Run it. Prove it.

Bank-grade by construction

Uptiq is the bank-grade AI platform for financial institutions. It isn't a new core. It's a new tier on top of the systems you already run: your core, your LOS, your digital banking and your CRM. Turn on agents from our library, or have your own people build them. Either way, every agent is grounded, provable and governed from day one.

Grounded in your truth

Every answer comes from your Knowledge Hub: your products, rates, disclosures and policies. Nothing counts as truth until your institution signs off on it.

Provable to an examiner

Every action carries its receipt: the rule, the source, the version. You can replay it in two clicks instead of running a three-week investigation.

Governed at every action

The Validation Hub checks each action against your authority grid and blocks a non-compliant one before it runs.

Console

One pane of glass. Every agent.

Every agent, app and integration in one governed place, where product, ops, compliance and audit work side by side.

  • Agent Builder: describe the job in plain English, and the platform composes, certifies and deploys the agent.
  • App Builder: turn agents into banker-facing and member-facing experiences, with no engineering queue.
  • Admin: SSO, roles and permissions, and versioning. Whoever builds an agent never approves it.
Control Center

Watch it. Measure it. Stop it.

The operating view of your whole agent estate: what ran, what it cost, how well it did, and the evidence behind every action.

  • Observability: live runs, traces and logs for every agent.
  • Evaluation and audit: quality scored before release and in production, with a full audit trail your examiner can replay.
  • Cost and control: usage and cost per team with hard limits, plus an emergency stop for any agent or user.
