The story

Founded in 2018, Prodigal started as a consumer finance intelligence platform focused on call center AI — offering real-time agent assist, automatic call scoring, and compliance monitoring for lenders and collection agencies. The company has since expanded from purely speech analytics into a broader AI agent platform that automates collections operations end-to-end, including omnichannel digital engagement and agentic automation. Its focus remains squarely on the consumer finance vertical (loan servicing, debt collections, healthcare revenue cycle), and it has not pivoted into becoming an embedded finance provider itself — rather, it uses embedded finance vendors (Anrok for tax) as back-office infrastructure.
