We're AgentCollect. We collect overdue B2B invoices with AI agents instead of call centers. Real revenue, real enterprise clients, a small team that ships every single day.
Why I'm building this
I started AgentCollect because B2B invoices go unpaid for a dumb reason: the only options were aggressive third-party call centers that torch the customer relationship, or chasing it manually until everyone gives up. We replace that with AI agents that actually recover the money while staying respectful enough that the debtor stays a customer. It works, enterprises pay for it, and there is a lot left to build.
The stack you'll work in
RetellAI voice agents, Twilio / Telnyx telephony, Stripe for payments and reconciliation, Laravel + React across the app and the debtor / client portals, PostHog for session analytics, and you direct AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, agents) every day to ship. Language-agnostic: prior Laravel is a plus, not a gate, we hire people who ramp fast with AI.
How we work, so you know if it fits
Your first 90 days
Who you are
Our application is 5 minutes. Really.
No 2-hour take-home to get in the door. We want to see how you START a problem:
A sharp 5-minute plan beats a polished 2-hour submission that never framed the problem. If your plan is strong, we hand you real data and you build it for real.
Full details and the exact problem are in the README: https://github.com/wwwidr/hiring-challenge
Apply here and we'll send you the 5-minute challenge. Looking forward to seeing how you think.
