Benefit Street Partners answers questions faster with Codex

OpenAI•USA•

What happened

Benefit Street Partners’ Anant Kumar built a loan‑valuation tracker and a credit‑agreement analyzer using OpenAI’s Codex, cutting review time from days or weeks to a single day. The tracker compares BDC loan marks from SEC filings, while the analyzer processes 300‑page agreements in about 20 minutes before a human review. Codex helped Kumar write and review code, reducing total development to 10–12 hours. The tools now live in the firm’s portal, enabling faster committee responses and more rigorous underwriting within the same timeframe.

Reality check

Incremental. The tools improve efficiency for a single investment firm but represent a modest application of existing AI code‑generation technology.
