today we are giving every business the superpowers of an enterprise-grade AR team lets start Q1 strong
George Kurdin@GeorgeKurdin

The average dunning email gets ignored. You are literally sending "please ignore me" messages to customers who owe you money. Playbooks - our workflow system for intelligent collections - is now live on the @usemonk platform. A system that reasons, not just reminds. We filmed a 60 second video showing you an experiment between @zhou_squared and @francescocoacci collecting $100K. Finance, biz-ops and post-sales teams should not be spending time chasing customers. Many spend 10+hrs/week doing what Joe did in this video: - context switching between tools (slack, gmail, quickbooks, google sheets) - breaking flow from deep work - sending reminders because the average dunning email is ignored But agentic collections are not enough. Every customer relationship is different. Some need white-glove treatment and others a nudge. That’s why we built playbooks, giving every business a customizable collection workflow. With playbooks you can: - create triggers and workflows specific to a customer segment (tone shift, conditions, escalations to sales/customer support) - auto-resolve AP questions with context from relevant email threads - pause automatically when product questions or upsells opportunities come up Playbooks is how you get paid while you sleep. And we do it with professionalism and empathy that your customers deserve. Heading into Q1 with a gap between signed ARR and actual cash? Watch the video. And if you want to see bloopers from Frank/Joe filming, comment “payday” + tag a teammate and we will send you bloopers from the shoot.

Today, @tryprofound is excited to announce our $96M Series C at a $1B valuation, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @sequoia, @kleinerperkins, @mattevantic, @saga_ventures and @southpkcommons. When we started Profound 18 months ago, we had two fundamental beliefs about where marketing is heading: 1. Every company will care deeply about how AI talks about their brand. 2. Every marketer will use AI Agents to do their best work, faster. Those beliefs are becoming reality faster than we imagined. Now, we serve more than 10% of the Fortune 500 and are the number 1 leader on the G2 grid for AEO. To double down on that momentum, we’re taking two big swings: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: AI workers that take marketing teams from concept to execution. 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: certifications and cohort-based learning for marketers who want stay at the forefront of AI marketing. Reply with 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗧 for free access to one of our most popular agents.

audit log is upgraded on @usemonk hard part was not logging. it was logging reliably across a large platform surface area and unifying actions from agents and humans in the same table. why does an audit log matter? fast answer is tracing actions on the platform and ensuring accountability. this is especially useful for larger teams with multiple users live to all customers as of this weekend props to Joe and Oat on the ship fast blog and a video in comments

V3 is already live Thank you to our partners and customers who make this possible
George Kurdin@GeorgeKurdin

Revenue automation software has a credibility problem. Numbers appear in dashboards. And accountants are told to just trust them. Our team at @usemonk took a different approach. We set out to make every number traceable and defensible. Today, @zhou_squared shares our product philosophy on building for accounting/finance professionals. We’ve been fortunate to have the support of our customers and experts in this build. Thank you for continued feedback!

bringing b2c quality in-app change logs to b2b saas at @usemonk select ships from Jan 26-Jan 31 that we think you'd love: - new UI for payment reconciliations with keyboard shortcuts and AI-suggested matches with confidence scores; bulk approve also live so you can sprint through the close - see complete revenue recognition schedule at invoice level (personal favourite) - control accounting impact of credit memos and select between 3 different allocation methods - invoice line item display override; customers expect specific things that might not be in the contract/POBs and now you have even more control - more edge cases handled for Intuit QuickBooks and Salesforce integrations props to Brodie, Andrew, @zhou_squared (who also won a krispy kreme eating bet[1]), Oat, Yarik, and @francescocoacci [1] inhaled 20 in 13 minutes // just debating whether appropriate to post

Sales tax compliance for fast-growing B2B businesses just got a lot easier because @anrok is partnered with @usemonk. Our 2-way native integration with @anrok means a few things: - automatic sales tax calculation on every invoice thanks to @anrok - real-time sync across edits, credits, and refunds - seamless flow into ERP - audit-ready records link in comments to learn more

some optimize for flexibility/abstractions. we optimize for duplication first our POV is that the wrong abstraction early, especially in our domain (AR), is strong -EV fast read from the team @usemonk on how we think through abstractions vs duplication props to some of our fav tools (@graphite, @linear, @usebraintrust) and the team (@zhou_squared++) details in comments PS: spent as much time on the blog as i did on the graphic //

team just shipped an overhaul of credit memos on @usemonk @usemonk treats credit memos as a first-class object within the platform, giving teams a consistent/traceable way to manage adjustments. And our intelligent collections agent recognizes when credits have been applied, ensuring accurate follow-ups. here's what's new: - native creation with structured reason codes - flexible allocation (i.e. add to multiple invoices or stack several memos on 1 invoice) - built-in notifications - generate professional PDFs - hardened 2-way sync with ERPs props to Brodie Marshall (no social media to maximize lock-in) on the ship detailed blog in comments

BREAKING RESEARCH at @usemonk: quantifying squat rack-mood relationship in startup co-founders (n=1) After 6 months of rigorous observation, we are excited to share our peer-reviewed [1] findings on the relationship between squat rack proximity and "executive" function. ABSTRACT: This longitudinal study (June 2025 - Jan 2026) examined the relationship between Subject J's (@zhou_squared) access to squat rack and his ability to write quality code. KEY FINDINGS: - visible mood swings related to proximity/distance vs squat rack (see photos) - strong negative correlation (r = -0.94, p < 0.001) between days-since-squat and # of PRs - subject's ability to discuss Feb roadmap improved 270% within 30 minutes of seeing a squat rack this morning DM for details on study NOTES: [1] not actually peer-reviewed // peers refused to review this

one of our favourite ships this week @usemonk is the intelligent collections efficiency report customers asked for better visibility into intelligent follow-up performance. So we shipped more analytics [1] props to @francescocoacci on landing multiple PRs here - multiple new metrics including breakdown of paid invoices with and without a customer response - weekly granularity - better visibility into tracking bounced/unreachable contacts [1] screenshot is just a social media graphic with a subset of the reports in prod today; we will derive many more from this part of the workflow

one thing we learned from last 3 startups is flow-state is sacred. flow is how work gets done. we put a lot of thought into protecting the builder's time. and so here's how we are using (1) @graphite and (2) stacked diffs at @usemonk to both ship fast and create more focused time for our engineering team. link to blog in comments separately, we experiment with a # of tools/methods as we build an LLM-first engineering team. curious if there are tools you are loving right now that you'd recommend.

Today if a customer asks (1) to update the billing address, (2) to get a specific report, or (3) any XYZ condition - the dunning workflow stalls. The working team has to break flow. And cash is delayed. To better handle these (and other types of edge cases) - we've added additional logic to our intelligent collections module at @usemonk. You can now monitor if X condition happens using natural language and take action (ex. escalate to support, send a tailored response, flag to a specific channel in slack). Other updates as part of this release are: - autopay - more resilience to the Quickbooks and Salesforce integrations - improvements to drafting logic (better RL) thank you, team, for the ship and customers for the trust/feedback

power levels are rising thanks to Oat
George Kurdin@GeorgeKurdin

a massive win for our customers and for our team. Oat joins @usemonk Oat is an N of 1 product engineer and we've been friends since 2018 first product we built together was a trading exchange for Twitch creators with a trading engine, ETH/USD wallet/cash-out flow, and a marketplace for creator/fan rewards we called it SuperMegaFan a moonshot bet with Morgan, Salman, @ali_moiz and @mikedle and our moonshot failed, but we tried really hard (from design/excel to live product with transaction volume in <3.5 months). Oat brings 11 years of full-stack experience to @usemonk and is 2x founder himself. Oat's last company handled recruiting for the industrial sector where he solved a # of technical challenges to support 1K+ interviews/day across multiple channels (sms/phone/email) and multiple languages. for obvious reasons we love ex-founders at @usemonk since joining us, Oat led agent performance and evals. he also delivered a # of features for our customers to improve the agent orchestration layer, worked on playbooks, and the HubSpot integration. if you want to build with ex-founders - join us (link in comments for why now)

shipping agents in production-grade workflows without evals is like flying blind at @usemonk evals are a core part for how we build. we selected @braintrust to power our evals in this blog Brodie breaks down: 1/ why we invest in evals 2/ how evals support one of our modules (payment rec) 3/ why a tight feedback loop matters 4/ building a culture around experimentation and why evals are a shared responsibility across our team props to the team at @braintrust for building a great product check out full blog in comments

here are few simple principles we are using at @usemonk to maintain product velocity as one of our core teammates, @francescocoacci, goes remote for 30 days - more communication in public. public channels > dms. if someone dms you - bring the conversation in the open - over-communicate. give context. can others instantly act on your message based on the context you've shared? if it means spending an extra 1-2 minutes to write a sharper message or recording a loom - please do it - use slack status to signal when you are AFK (ex. on a plane) - ask for help (esp. if stuck on a problem) - if you have a strong POV on an approach to a problem - state it
