Matthew Carter and I started a company. It's called Converge AI. After 11 years in fintech, I've watched too much of the workday disappear into tasks nobody would choose to do by hand: rekeying data, chasing documents, and moving information between systems that don't talk to each other. The people stuck with that work usually know the most. They know what matters, when something looks off, and what a good outcome looks like. We built Converge AI around that knowledge. We build and support AI co-workers that take the repetitive steps of a process off a team's plate, inside the tools the team already uses. People stay in charge of the decisions, the exceptions, and the customer relationships. Here's what that looks like at one insurance agency we work with. Account managers email carrier quotes, policies, and loss runs to Pam, their AI co-worker. Pam replies with a client-ready proposal or comparison, and the account manager reviews it instead of building it from scratch. That's 8 to 19 deliverables a week. When the carrier issues the policy, Pam checks it against what was sold and flags any differences for review. Same team. More time for the work that actually needs their expertise. Matthew Carter and I have worked together since 2012, at @Spiceworks , @scalefactor , and @Fondocom . Over the past year, we've been building this approach in finance and accounting. We started @TryConverge because we kept seeing the same opportunity everywhere else, especially at growing businesses without an engineering team to build and maintain AI. So here's the question we ask every team: what should you stop doing by hand? Tell me in the comments, send me a message, or book a free 25-minute process assessment: tryconverge.ai/

Your team isn’t worried about AI. They’re worried about being replaced by AI. So ask them one question: “What work would you gladly stop doing by hand?” AI takes the predictable path. People keep the judgment. The backlog becomes the growth plan. tryconverge.ai/blog/how-to-g…

Today was my last day as full-time CTO/CPO at @Fondocom. Five years. It's hard to sum that up in a LinkedIn post, so I won't try. What I'll say is that the best part was never the roadmap or the launches. It was the people. This photo is from our last engineering and product happy hour. A few of the best people I've ever worked with, and only a fraction of the team that made the last five years what they were. To everyone at @Fondocom, past and present: thank you. Genuinely. More to come, and I'll be sharing some exciting updates soon. cc: @ali_ghanimati @davj @dianeemccormack
