Bigly Sales runs AI outbound and inbound calling as a managed service. Its AI voice agents call new and aged leads, qualify them against your criteria, live-transfer interested prospects to your team, book appointments, and answer inbound calls 24/7, with every disposition, transcript and recording written back to your CRM. Bigly's team builds the campaign for you. Scripts are written with Claude, ChatGPT and other leading LLMs, and the platform tests script versions on live calls and keeps the best performer. Bigly also handles phone-number procurement, carrier registration, more than 200 whitelisted local-presence lines, spam monitoring and call routing. Before every dial, the system checks consent, suppression and DNC lists, known TCPA litigants, and state and federal calling rules and quiet hours. The reporting dashboard measures success rate per lead, cost per live transfer and cost per human contact, and breaks the dial-to-transfer funnel into each stage, including transfers lost to an unanswered buffer or a carrier error. Lead sources are ranked side by side by success rate and cost. An hour-by-hour chart shows when leads convert. With the Bigly Sales MCP server, customers can manage campaigns from Claude or ChatGPT: push a list into an active campaign, check minute usage, pull transcripts, or ask which leads want a demo. Customers use it for lead reactivation, speed-to-lead follow-up, appointment setting, inbound answering and warm transfers in insurance, lending, home services, legal and fundraising. It integrates with HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel and other CRMs, and plans start at $99 a month, with a free 30-minute AI calling setup to begin.

Apify provides the infrastructure developers need to build, deploy, and monetize web automation tools. The platform centers on Apify Store, a marketplace featuring 10,000+ community-built Actors. These are serverless programs that scrape websites, automate browser tasks, and power AI agents. Developers create Actors using JavaScript, Python, or Crawlee (Apify's open-source crawling library), then publish them to the Store. When other users run your Actor, you earn money. Apify manages the infrastructure, handles payments, and processes monthly payouts to thousands of active developers. Apify Store offers ready-to-use solutions for common use cases: extracting data from Amazon, Google Maps, and social platforms; monitoring prices; generating leads; and much more. Under the hood, Actors automatically manage proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, JavaScript-heavy pages, and headless browser orchestration. The platform scales on demand with 99.95% uptime and maintains SOC2, GDPR, and CCPA compliance. For workflow automation, Apify connects to Zapier, Make, n8n, and LangChain. The platform also offers an MCP server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to discover and invoke Actors programmatically.

Engineering teams shipping with AI have a new bottleneck: validation. Code output has accelerated. Quality hasn't. Checksum closes the gap. Checksum is a continuous quality platform with a suite of AI agents that handle testing end-to-end, at every stage of the development lifecycle. Where most tools wait for a human to trigger them, Checksum runs autonomously in the background, generating tests, executing them, and repairing failures without manual intervention. Seventy percent of test failures are resolved automatically through real-time auto-recovery. The platform covers every layer: end-to-end UI flows via Playwright, API endpoint chains, and targeted CI tests scoped to exactly what changed in a PR. All tests land as real code in your repository and are delivered as standard Playwright, owned by your team. Checksum is fine-tuned on 1.5+ million test runs and integrates natively with Cursor, Claude Code, and 100+ AI coding agents. Type /checksum and your coding agent's output gets tested before it ever reaches review. Generation and healing happen on Checksum's cloud infrastructure which means no LLM tokens consumed, no local resources required. The result: test suites that stay green as the product evolves, fewer regressions reaching production, and release confidence that scales alongside AI output.

Most finance teams run two systems: one for lease accounting, one for treasury, reconciled by hand. ZenTreasury runs both as one governed subledger, because the ERP that posts the journal entry does not know the contract behind it. ZenTreasury does. Add a lease and the platform generates the full schedule automatically: right of use asset, lease liability, depreciation, interest, and balance carry forward, all following the standard from the moment the lease is saved. Index-linked remeasurement is handled automatically, with index rates, base values, and next indexation dates tracked per contract. Every later change, such as a scope change, term extension, rate revision, or partial termination, recalculates the schedule and logs it with a timestamp and user, so auditors get the before and after picture without asking. On the treasury side: centralised FX position management across forwards, swaps, and cross currency instruments with mark-to-market valuations; internal and external loan tracking with valuation against yield curves and automated interest accrual; trade finance and guarantee monitoring with fee and exposure tracking; and group wide cash flow forecasting with scenario modelling, all multi entity and multi currency. Direct bank connectivity included. One platform, accounting included, priced to the scope you run. Every customer gets a dedicated, isolated database. Lease calculations are independently reviewed by an international audit firm. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client directly to your contract data.
