Finovate Podcast

Streamlining complex system integrations with FinovateEurope Best of Show winner R34DY.

Detailed summary: in this episode, host Greg Palmer speaks with Márk Katenyi, CEO and founder of R34DY, a company that won Best of Show at FinovateEurope. The two talk about Ablements, an integration platform designed for banks and financial institutions to simplify IT architecture and streamline complex system integrations.

Márk explains how the platform uses AI, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and agentic technologies, to ingest documentation, understand IT systems, and create deployable workflows. He highlights the industry’s long-standing struggle with integration and how AI is now enabling real solutions, rather than just theoretical improvements.

Throughout the conversation, Márk discusses the overwhelmingly positive response from banks at FinovateEurope, who have long awaited AI-driven integration solutions. He acknowledges that while there is still skepticism about AI’s effectiveness, R34DY has been able to demonstrate real results.

The discussion also touches on the broader role of AI in financial institutions, emphasizing the importance of focusing on enterprise use cases that reduce costs and improve efficiency. Looking ahead, R34DY aims to expand its platform’s capabilities and address market gaps, particularly in enabling faster, more secure, and compliant financial system integrations.
