The AI tech
Ellis builds a unified data layer connecting fund administrators, general ledgers, loan-servicing systems, bank feeds, regulatory filings, and Excel models, then deploys specialized AI agents to take the first pass on recurring workflows such as reconciliation, anomaly detection, LP reporting, capital calls, and SBIC compliance. The platform follows a "agents flag, humans decide" design principle so every output is reviewable, explainable, and traceable to its original source. No rip-and-replace of existing systems is required; Ellis sits above the tools a firm already uses.
