Announcing The Delta by Nilus: A Free Virtual Academy for the Future of Agentic Treasury

The world of treasury is shifting. We’ve all moved past the initial hype of "chatting" with AI, but for many finance professionals, a gap still remains. It’s a gap between knowing AI exists and knowing how to make it reliably run a cash forecast, audit a policy, or reconcile a bank statement without constant supervision.

Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of The Delta by Nilus. The Delta is a premier, completely free virtual academy designed to bridge that gap and empower treasury and finance professionals to lead the agentic revolution.

Why "The Delta"?

When naming the academy, we wanted something that reflected both our roots and our mission.

• The Source of Knowledge: Much like a river delta is the point where various streams converge into a powerful force, The Delta by Nilus is the central source of knowledge for the industry.
• The Change Factor: In finance, "Delta" represents change and the difference between two values. We chose this name because our curriculum focuses specifically on the delta between how treasury operations function today and how they will function in the near future.
• The Nilus Connection: As a company named after the Nile, The Delta represents the natural progression of our brand—providing the fertile ground where the next generation of "AI-ready" finance talent can grow.

What You’ll Learn (For Free)

The Delta currently features three flagship video courses, a strategic text-based handbook, and educational, on-demand webinars, all designed to take you from AI foundations to building production-ready autonomous agents.

Our flagship courses include:

1. Agentic AI 101

• Instructor: Sonny Spencer (Global Finance Operations Leader)
• The Goal: A practical, non-technical introduction. Learn the “why” and “what” of AI, and distinguish between basic Generative AI and the multi-step reasoning of Agentic AI.
• Key Highlight: Learn to evaluate "build vs. buy" scenarios using our custom vendor evaluation checklist.

2. From AI Beginner to Agent Builder

• Instructor: Mike Dion (F9 Finance)
• The Goal: Move from vibes to automation. This course is for the builder who wants to go under the hood of AI architecture (Tokens, RAG, and Context Windows).
• Key Highlight: Build your first "Caffeinated Intern", an AI agent that can chew through spreadsheets and draft commentary.

3. Automate Any Treasury Process Without Writing Code

• Instructor: Mike Dion (F9 Finance)
• The Goal: Practical, no-code automation for the modern treasurer.
• Key Highlight: Build end-to-end automations for daily liquidity summaries, cash movement alerts, and investment policy compliance.

Join the Movement

At Nilus, we believe that the tools to modernize finance should be accessible to everyone. That’s why The Delta is 100% free to join. Whether you’re looking to automate your first workflow or you’re a CFO looking to set the AI strategy for your entire org, The Delta provides the blueprints, the checklists, and the community to get you there.

In addition to the courses, every student gets access to our exclusive Slack community. This is a space where you can discuss modules with your peers, share your custom-built agents, and ask questions directly to our instructors, Mike and Sonny. 

Don’t just watch the future of treasury happen. 

Lead it.
