Dimitri Masin was one of the first 30 employees at Monzo, where he led AI and data science as the bank grew from 30 to 4,000 people. That vantage point showed him where the real work in financial services still lives: the manual, repetitive customer operations running behind the app. In 2023, he co-founded Gradient Labs to automate that work with fully autonomous AI agents, and the company now serves more than 30 fintech and financial services customers. In this conversation, we get into why co-pilots can quietly degrade quality and compliance, why Dimitri believes full autonomy is the safer path, and the story behind what may be the largest known AI agent deployment in banking.
