    The Autonomous AI
    Agent Stack
    for Private Credit.

    One place where borrowers find capital, capital providers run their underwriting, and every deal flows through a single network of specialist AI agents.

    /the platform

    Two sides.
    One ecosystem.
    One audit trail.

    Antal is a two-sided platform for business-purpose lending. Borrowers find capital through one intelligent front door. Capital providers run their entire underwriting motion on a stack of specialist agents against their own guidelines. Everything stays inside one ecosystem, with one continuous record per deal.

    /borrower

    One front door.

    Describe what you need — a fix-and-flip, a bridge, a DSCR refi, a working-capital line, revenue-based financing. The assistant routes you to the right capital partner, runs your preapproval, collects your file, and gets you to a signed term sheet without a phone-tag chain.

    /capital provider

    One back office.

    Bring the capital and the credit box. We bring the agents that originate, underwrite, and close against your guidelines. No 20-person underwriting team. Your decisions stay yours; the agents do the work in between.

    /the architecture

    Three layers.
    One stack.
    Origination through payoff.

    Capital providers configure the top layer. Borrowers come in from the bottom. In the middle, the agents do the work that used to take a 10-person desk — pre-funding and the life of the loan after. The same record threads through all three.

    Layer · 01Guideline encoding

    Guidelines Copilot

    Capital providers use these to encode and refine their guidelines once. Upload rate cards, policy memos, historical deals — the agents extract the rules and produce a structured policy every downstream system reads. Adjust by chat. Run scenarios. Compare against peer terms.

    Layer · 02Origination through payoff

    Origination, Underwriting & Servicing

    Once guidelines are codified, the agents run the loan end to end. Pre-funding: score the deal, issue a conditional term sheet, validate the file against insurance, title, and inspection requirements, and coordinate appraisal, BPO, and closing in parallel. After funding: the same agents handle payment collection, construction draws and inspections, escrow, payoff requests, and default workflows. People hold every irreversible decision; the agents do the work in between.

    Layer · 03Borrower-facing

    Orchestrator

    One conversational agent that handles every product — fix-and-flip, DSCR, bridge, ground-up, small-balance commercial, term loans, working capital, revenue-based — and routes each deal to the capital partners whose guidelines fit. The borrower experience stays the same whether the deal is a $400K flip or a $2M term loan.

    /the agent stack

    Skills the lender
    configures.
    Tools every agent calls.

    An agent is a set of product skills. Each skill knows how to underwrite, close, and service one type of business-purpose loan end-to-end. The lender turns on the skills that match their credit box. Underneath, every skill calls the same shared tools — identity, income, entity, document parsing, property data — that work the same regardless of product.

    The borrower sees one conversation. The capital provider sees one record.

    — and more, as the network grows

    /the wedge

    Residential
    transition first.
    Everything else composes up.

    We start with residential transition loans — fix-and-flip, bridge, and DSCR rental — because they're operationally the hardest: rehab budgets, ARV, draw schedules, time-sensitive closings, multiple third parties to coordinate. If our agents can run an RTL deal end-to-end, business loans, cash-flow-based financing, and small-balance commercial compose upward from the same primitives.

    We're a lender on our own platform. Every primitive in the product exists because we needed it to fund a real loan that week. That keeps the stack honest.

    /the difference

    Most pick one.
    Antal picks
    all four.

    Every AI lending tool we've seen picks one of these and builds around it. Antal is built around all four — a two-sided network, a shared policy format, data from every deal, and an audit trail institutional capital trusts. Each piece stands on its own. Together they're why the platform exists.

    Network

    Both sides grow together.

    More capital partners means better matching for borrowers. More borrowers means more deal flow for partners. Once the network is dense, replicating it is a multi-year sales motion — not a feature build.

    Standard

    One format, every lender.

    Capital providers encode their guidelines once, in a format every downstream agent reads the same way. Brokers, auditors, and borrowers all read the same shape. Standards stick once they spread.

    Data

    Outcomes teach the agents.

    Every deal we fund teaches the agents what actually happened — what closed, what defaulted, what got declined. Three years of that isn't replicable with raw capital.

    Audit

    Every decision, replayable.

    Every decision is reproducible from a single record. Every irreversible action has a human gate. Not a feature — the price of doing business with institutional capital.

    /for capital providers

    Bring the capital
    and the credit box.
    We bring the agents.

    Whether you're a private credit fund, a family office, a balance-sheet lender, a brokerage, or an RIA with credit allocations.

    Your decisions stay yours. The agents handle assembly, validation, and coordination.

    03

    Servicing on the same rails.

    Payments, draws, escrow, and payoff run through the same agents and the same record. No mid-life data hand-off.

    04

    Plug into a live borrower marketplace.

    No outbound sales. Deals that fit your box get routed to you.

    05

    White-label or run inside Antal.

    06

    One audit trail per deal.

    Timing

    Agent infrastructure just landed.

    A platform that orchestrates specialist agents across origination, underwriting, and closing — with auditability institutional capital trusts — was not buildable 18 months ago.

    Wedge

    RTL earns the expansion.

    Residential transition lending is operationally the hardest segment. The same agent primitives compose upward into every other business-purpose product class.

    Antal isn't a thesis. It's the system Roberto built to scale one private credit lender from $10M to $200M in annual originations — now generalized for every lender that comes after. Thomas wires it into the channels that matter.
