Briq
“Can an AI-native financial workflow platform become the operating system for construction company finance — replacing manual processes across budgeting, AP, and payroll with autonomous digital workers?”
Founded in 2018 as a construction-focused financial planning and analytics platform, Briq initially targeted manual budgeting inefficiencies in construction firms. After raising a significant Series B in 2021, the company expanded into broader financial workflow automation including accounts payable and payroll. By 2024–2025, Briq pivoted toward an AI-first identity, launching the Otto AI Autonomous Work Platform with 'Digital Workers' — autonomous bots that execute financial tasks — repositioning from a SaaS analytics tool to an AI-driven financial OS for construction companies.
