Keys Inc. will present its AI powered ERP platform for the locksmith industry at the Startup Grind Global Conference on April 28, 2026, announced in a press release. Founder and CEO Loay Jamal Alyousfi will deliver a pitch on the VC Stage at 11:30 AM, while the company exhibits at Booth #115.

The Keys platform integrates dispatching, payments, and workflow management to connect consumers with vetted locksmiths. It addresses the absence of statewide licensing in most U.S. states by providing a consistent and verified service layer. Each locksmith on the platform undergoes a structured vetting process to ensure reliability and safety.

Keys Inc. has expanded its technology to include financial services through partnerships with Stripe, Fifth Third Bank, and Celtic Bank. The company also offers the Keys Visa Spend Card for professionals using its system.

At the event, the company will demonstrate an autonomous AI service agent that identifies and onboards locksmiths based on user demand. This system, recently filed under a U.S. provisional patent application, supports scalable network growth while maintaining quality controls.

Alyousfi has also introduced the LINC Act, a proposed federal initiative to establish national certification standards for locksmiths. Keys Inc. continues to seek strategic investors through a Regulation D offering filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
