Kevin — AI agent for Brazilian treasury, in a suit with a gold tie
Value proposition

Treasury that earns around the clock.

No more idle balances

With Selic at 14-15% per year, every R$ 1M sitting idle for 30 days loses R$ 12.5K. Kevin invests everything on the right rail, respecting your liquidity policy.

Forecasts that hit the mark

From 60% accuracy in a spreadsheet to 88-92% across 13 weeks. Modeling that learns your pattern of inflows and outflows.

40+ banks in one place

Kobana's bank connection platform, CNAB and Pix synced in real time. Cognitive reconciliation with 95-99% auto-match.

Fraud caught in seconds

+50% detection, -55% false positives. A payment that's “legitimate but the Pix key changed yesterday” — Kevin holds it before it goes out.

  • Obligation calendar (taxes, payroll, strategic suppliers)
  • Debt covenants from contracts
  • Investment policy
  • Regulatory restrictions (industry, audit)

Real use case

A day with Kevin at a company with R$ 500M in revenue.

  1. 08:00

    Kevin sends on WhatsApp: “Consolidated balance R$ 32M. R$ 28M above minimum liquidity. Suggestion: invest R$ 18M in Itaú CDB at 100% CDI with D+1 liquidity and R$ 10M in Tesouro Selic.”

  2. 08:15

    Treasurer approves. Kevin executes via the XP desk.

  3. 10:30

    Kevin detects an attempted payment to supplier “ACME Ltda” with a new Pix key (changed yesterday). Alerts finance.

  4. 11:20

    Finance confirms it's fraud — supplier's email was compromised. Payment cancelled. R$ 87K saved.

  5. 14:00

    Kevin sends an update: “Unexpected inflow of R$ 4.2M from customer X. Forecast recalculated. Want to invest the surplus?”

  6. 18:00

    Kevin delivers the daily report to the CFO's email: R$ 87K in fraud prevented, R$ 124K in incremental yield from the sweep, 3 bank fees flagged.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Does Kevin execute autonomously?+

Only within pre-approved authority and rules (e.g., automatic sweep within policy). Anything outside policy requires approval.

Does it work with small banks?+

Yes. Any bank that supports CNAB or Kobana's bank connection platform. Fintechs too — Nubank, Stone, Cora, Pagseguro, Iugu, BS2.

Does it connect to Kyriba / SAP Treasury?+

Yes, as a data source and execution destination. Kevin runs on top, not as a replacement.

Can I configure a custom policy?+

Yes — approval matrix, counterparty limits, allowed product types, minimum liquidity, all via Kia Brain.

Does forecasting work for seasonal businesses?+

Yes. The model learns seasonality (Black Friday, harvest, back-to-school, tourism).

Are Kevin's operations metered?+

Each investment, reconciliation and sweep counts as one operation on your plan.
