Is it a dumb idea to build AI agents for money recovery?
I’ve seen a lot of businesses still manage collections pretty manually — checking what’s overdue, sending reminders, following up over WhatsApp/email/calls, tracking payment promises, and chasing again if someone doesn’t pay.
I’m thinking of building an AI agent that handles most of this automatically, keeps track of commitments and payment status, and flags customers likely to become bad debt.
Is this painful enough to pay for, or is it already a solved problem?
