The Air offerings from SmartStream Technologies won the 2025 FTF Award for Best A.I. Solution, and FTF News had the opportunity to speak with Samuel Hyman, head of sales and account management — Americas at SmartStream, to discuss the development effort that led to Air.
“Air has been in development for, give or take, six years now,” Hyman notes. “What’s unique about Air, and I think, one of the reasons we’re receiving such positive feedback in the industry, is that Air is fully built in-house. We’re not relying on any external artificial intelligence or machine learning.”
A quant team, primarily based in Austria, develops A.I. and machine learning-based offerings.
“We saw the writing on the wall that AI is going to be a formidable force in the financial technology world, and as a result, we dedicated quite a bit of resources into building Air as, I would say, the future of this company, frankly,” Hyman says.
The video chat also covers:
- The reactions to SmartStream Air among its clients and prospects, and how firms are exploring it through proof-of-concept testing and demonstrations;
- The feedback that has been essential for the future development of Air;
- The Affinity for Reconciliations Premium offering; and
- How SmartStream Air has impacted the company’s relationship with its customers.
