New Agentic Development Kit accelerates developer integration while enabling non-technical users to build proof-of-concepts in days

Apex Fintech Solutions Inc. (“Apex”), an innovation launchpad for the global investing ecosystem, today announced the launch of its Apex AI Suite featuring one of the first Agentic Development Kits (ADK) in the clearing and custody industry. This revolutionary tool accelerates developer integration with the AscendOS™ clearing, custody, and trading platform through natural language commands – enabling engineers to ramp up more quickly while empowering non-technical users to build and test proof-of-concepts. The result: wealth platform prototypes that can potentially be developed in days rather than the weeks typically required for traditional integration approaches.

The ADK operates alongside Ask Ascend, Apex's established AI assistant launched in 2025. Together, they form the developer and builder-focused foundation of the overarching Apex AI Suite. This release marks the first step in Apex’s strategy to embed AI across additional use cases in the future and transforms the custodial platform evaluation from a process reserved for engineers into a hands-on experience for product managers, executives, and business stakeholders.

Apex's AI Suite delivers several groundbreaking innovations:

• Clearing platform with comprehensive agentic AI development experience
• Enable non-technical stakeholders to actively build working prototypes of investment features using plain English
• Integrate AI assistance directly into operational workstations
• Offer 24/7 agentic support across global development teams

"Apex is fundamentally changing who gets to build in financial services," said Bill Capuzzi, CEO of Apex Fintech Solutions. "You shouldn't need a team of engineers to test a great idea. We're putting the power to build wealth platforms directly into the hands of the innovators, turning vision into a working product faster than ever before.”

The AscendOS Agentic Development Kit (ADK): An Engine for Innovation

The ADK is one of the first comprehensive AI-powered toolkits in the clearing and custody industry. It bundles AscendOS API references, guides, code samples, SDKs, and knowledge base into downloadable files that integrate directly into a developer's terminal or IDE, providing complete AscendOS context while giving users flexibility to work through the Developer Portal or their preferred development environment. This abstraction makes it easier for non-technical users to download and get started quickly.

The ADK allows users to:

• Generate Code with Natural Language: Enable features and automate processes like "implement account opening" and receive production-ready code in Java, Python, TypeScript, Go and more.
• Build Proofs-of-Concept Without Engineers: Enable business leaders to prototype and validate features, ensuring new products meet strategic goals as a crucial first step before engineers validate the final technology stack.
• Accelerate Development Cycles: Speed the path from concept to code for all users. Non technical teams can generate functional prototypes to validate ideas, while developers can reduce trial-and-error with AI-generated code that follows AscendOS API and SDK documentation.
• Access 24/7 Global Intelligence: Provide development teams with immediate AI assistance across all time zones, reducing wait times for dependable guidance and accelerating development cycles.
• Integrate with Leading AI Tools: Supports leading third-party agentic AI platforms, with additional AI integrations planned for future releases.

Ask Ascend: An Intelligent Partner for Every Team

Building on the success of its AI assistant launched in 2025, Apex will expand Ask Ascend throughout 2026 to provide intelligent support for both technical and operational teams. The AI assistant now offers:

• Developer Support: Immediate, context-aware answers for API documentation, code samples, and integration questions.
• Planned Integrations: Future expansion into Ascend Workstation (wealth and enterprise), Cost Basis & Tax, and Apex Service Center workflows.

The Apex AI Suite is built on Google Cloud's Vertex AI to ensure enterprise-grade security, reliability, and accuracy.
