  "account": "Copenhagen-based startup Plinto has raised €2.9 million in pre-Seed funding to develop AI agents that help finance teams detect and rectify errors in transactions. Led by People Ventures and Emblem, the round also saw participation from business angels. Plinto's technology aims to automate the process of identifying deviations in financial transactions and taking corrective action, thus preventing errors from impacting a company's bottom line. Co-founder and Chief Data Officer Jakob Nielsen explained that while companies maintain records of every transaction, manually checking for agreement and rule compliance remains largely a manual process. Plinto's AI agents are designed to integrate with existing ERP, documents, bank, and collaboration tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams. When a transaction is flagged, the agents not only alert relevant personnel but also investigate, gather evidence, and follow up as needed. One customer reportedly identified around 430 deviations per month, while another caught a duplicate invoice submitted with a different supplier name in the same minute it arrived. Plinto's platform is already operational with major ERP platforms, Scandinavian banks, and over 2,700 banks, covering order-to-cash and procure-to-pay workflows. The company emphasizes that it never uses customer data to train AI models. Plinto plans to utilize the pre-Seed funding for product development, onboard more enterprise customers, and expand its presence beyond Denmark to assist other enterprises in identifying financial errors in real-time.",
