Pints AI

Pints AI is a Singapore based AI research and development company that helps regulated financial institutions put AI into production for critical functions like underwriting, claims, credit decisioning, risk, and compliance. Its platform, Autothought, is a workflow layer for production ready AI agents, paired with Pints Labs, a research effort with the Singapore University of Technology and Design focused on small, efficient language models trained to understand industry specific data and logic. Founded around 2024 by Partha Rao and Calvin Tan, the company raised a five point six million dollar pre Series A round in June 2026 led by Tin Men Capital and co led by SBI Ven Capital, bringing total funding to roughly seven million dollars, and reports twelve institutions across four countries saving a combined ten million dollars using it.

What distinguishes Pints AI is a compliance first design for a domain where most AI pilots never reach production because decisions must be traceable and defensible to regulators. Autothought uses an agent orchestration framework that routes each task to the most suitable model, from its own purpose built small language models to frontier models like Claude to open source options, aiming for enterprise accuracy at lower cost. Every AI assisted decision can be traced back to its source data, uncertain outputs are flagged for human review, and the platform is built to meet the requirements of regulators including the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Reserve Bank of India, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. Crucially, it deploys on a client's own infrastructure or private cloud rather than a shared service.

Delivery is hands on: Pints AI embeds engineers inside client organizations to integrate Autothought with existing banking and insurance systems, and it is building Autothought Studio so institutions can build and manage AI applications in house. As a pre Series A company, some of that self serve tooling is still maturing, and its reach is deliberately narrow, focused on regulated finance rather than general purpose use. For a bank or insurer that needs auditable, model flexible AI running on its own infrastructure and standing up to regulators, Pints AI is a strong, production minded fit; a team outside regulated financial services will find it more specialized than they need.
