Atturra joins AI business platform startup monō ai as founding partner
Technology consultancy Atturra has come on board as a founding partner of monō ai, a new artificial intelligence business platform established by Lendi Group co-founder David Hyman.
In its own confusing words, the monō platform is a multi-agent AI orchestration layer with access to all major foundation models, 100-plus enterprise connectors, semantic memory, and a headless API – designed as inference-only, such that client data stays in-house.
Supporting the launch is technology consultancy Atturra, which says that its transformation and delivery capabilities combined with the monō platform will allow organisations to progress from a piecemeal use-case approach to embed AI into their operational fabric.
“Our relationship with monō ai is an important, strategic step for us and aligns with our broader sovereign AI-first direction,” stated Atturra CEO Stephen Kowal. “The partnership creates a practical pathway for clients to move beyond pilot activity and redesign work in a way that is commercially meaningful, operationally realistic, as well as properly governed.”
In clearer company terms, monō has been designed as a scalable platform that embeds intelligence directly into the operating environment. The platform deploys networks of AI agents – configured to existing systems and workflows – capable of handling task routing, document processing, compliance checks, and decision support, with full audit trails and governance controls built in.
Continuing, Kowal said the two partners share the view that overhauling work design should form the fundamental basis of AI, rather than simply tooling; “AI doesn’t make broken workflows faster – it makes the case for redesigning them. That’s where Atturra and monō ai come in. We’re not here to layer AI over how work currently happens, but to change how that work happens.”
Hyman established monō after having led the AI transformation of his co-founded online home loan platform Lendi, noted for having over $100 billion on its books. Meanwhile, joining Hyman among the Sydney-based startup’s founding team are former Deloitte partner Daniel Folb and Olivia Braddick of Ernst & Young’s UK branch, as respective vice presidents of clients and growth.
The AI execution gap
“The gap between experimenting with AI and actually deploying it at scale is one of the biggest unresolved problems in business today,” Hyman said. “The opportunity is substantial, and our priority is helping organisations capture it in a way that works at scale. Our team brings experience from large, regulated businesses, which shapes how we both design and deploy the platform.”
That deployment includes ‘embedded pods’ of senior operators and engineers who sit inside client operations on fixed-scope proof-of-value projects for two to six weeks focused on a single high-impact process. Capabilities developed in one deployment remain in the platform, and then evolve over time and can be extended across teams, processes, and business units.
Kowal concluded; “Our clients can use it to identify where human effort is being consumed by low-value motion, where AI can remove friction, and where entirely new operating patterns are possible. monō ai provides the technology foundation for AI-native operations, while Atturra provides the capability to embed that foundation into real enterprise environments.”
