Aggregate Internal & External Data
Reduce the time investigators lose manually navigating between systems. Automatically retrieve information from both internal systems, external sources, and publicly available resources before an analyst picks up an alert, reducing average investigation times by as much as 75 - 85%.
Summarize Case Context Instantly
Avoid information overload and understand the full context of a case in seconds rather than an hour. The AML Investigative Agent analyzes gathered data, providing a clear investigation summary that highlights the customer relationship history, behavioral shifts, red-flag patterns, and potential typologies so your investigators can act decisively.
Identify Relevant AML Typologies
Identify complex money laundering schemes that generic AI and manual reviews simply miss. The AML Investigative Agent automatically pulls in the latest typologies from global regulators and industry bodies, like FinCEN, Europol, and FATF. By analyzing activity through this continuously updated regulatory lens, every red flag is accurately categorized and prioritized for expert review, keeping your investigations instantly compliant with the newest guidelines.
Recommend Next Steps
Maintain full control over your risk posture by defining exactly which steps are automated and which require human oversight. The agent guides investigators by recommending logical next steps, highlighting information gaps that need analyst support, or executing routine actions according to your specific policies, ensuring every decision is consistent, repeatable, and aligned with your firm’s risk appetite.
Guide & Update Reviews with a Context-Aware Chat
Stop investigating in a vacuum and get immediate answers to complex case questions. The AML Investigative Agent features a context-aware chat that lets you pull source-linked transactions or ask exactly what documentation is needed to clear an alert. As you input new findings, like the result of a customer outreach, the agent dynamically updates the case summary, adjusts confidence scores, and readies the alert for escalation.
Generate Bulletproof Audit Trails
Ensure total transparency with automated, real-time record-keeping. The agent logs every action, takes data snapshots for each alert, and provides "chain-of-thought" reasoning. By providing direct citations and versioned history, your team can defend any conclusion with confidence during regulatory reviews.
Prepare SAR Narratives for Analyst Review
Automatically generate complete, policy-aligned SAR narratives that are ready for review and filing. By populating reports with gathered evidence and investigation reasoning, the agent eliminates the manual burden of technical writing, ensuring consistency and defensibility while significantly reducing the time from escalation to report submission.
Ensure Policy Compliance and Decision Quality
The agent automatically reviews every completed investigation, whether done by a human or another AI agent, against your exact policies and procedures. It instantly scores each review for accuracy, identifying errors or missing documentation in real-time so your QA team can focus on resolving outliers rather than hunting for them.
Tailored workflows Mirror your exact investigative policies
The AML Investigative Agent isn't a "one-size-fits-all" solution. It is a flexible framework designed to automate your specific standard operating procedures (SOPs) while maintaining strict human oversight.
- Build agentic sequences that follow your organization’s specific steps and logic
- Specify which actions the agent performs independently and where it must pause for human intervention
- Mandate the specific data sources an agent must consult; Whitelist or blacklist URLs for trusted analysis
- Control operational costs by defining exactly when and on which subset of alerts the agent should run
- Leverage your existing SSO and case manager roles to maintain strict user permissions
- Sync every agent action, note, and decision back to your primary system for QA and governance
