Godiligent

Diligent AI is a Y Combinator-backed startup that builds AI agents specifically designed for financial crime compliance operations. The platform addresses the critical challenge facing KYC/AML teams today: drowning in manual, repetitive tasks while facing unprecedented pressure from growing sanctions lists, exploding fraud rates, and the velocity of digital payments. Rather than replacing human analysts, Diligent's AI agents supercharge them—automating tedious Level 1 tasks so skilled professionals can focus on genuine investigative work.

The platform serves leading banks, fintechs, and publicly listed payment processors worldwide. Main use cases include merchant risk investigation (analyzing websites, social media, reviews, and registry filings), AML screening alert remediation (handling false positives from sanctions/PEP/adverse media systems), and document verification (checking customer documents against policy requirements). Target customers are compliance and risk operations teams at financial institutions looking to reduce operational costs while improving risk detection accuracy and customer experience.

• Merchant Risk Agent: Automatically investigates merchant websites, social media presence, customer reviews, and registry filings to identify risky businesses before they enter your platform, replacing hours of manual research with structured, auditable AI analysis.

• AML Screening Agent: Automatically remediates false positive alerts from your existing sanctions, PEP, and adverse media screening providers, dramatically reducing the alert backlog that overwhelms compliance teams.

• Document Verification Agent: Automatically verifies whether customer-submitted documents such as registry extracts and proofs of address match your specific policy requirements and authenticity standards.

• Policy-Driven Customization: Allows teams to upload their own risk policies and procedures so agents execute checks in a fully customized manner that reflects your institution's specific risk appetite and regulatory obligations.

• Human-in-the-Loop Oversight: Enables deployment with analyst review workflows, allowing teams to maintain control and build confidence before scaling to full automation.

• Flexible Integration Options: Connects via API, dedicated Portal, or native integrations with existing screening tools—no requirement to replace current KYC/AML systems or vendors.

• Comprehensive Audit Trail: Generates detailed, structured documentation of all agent activities to satisfy regulatory examination and internal compliance requirements.

• Identify your workflow: Pick the most manual KYC/AML workflows you want to accelerate, such as risk reviews, alert remediation, or document processing.

• Connect your systems: Plug the AI agent into your existing stack via API, the Diligent Portal, or through native integrations with your current screening tools.

• Configure your policies: Upload your risk policies and procedures to teach the agent how your organization works, ensuring checks run in a customized and auditable way.

• Deploy with oversight: Run the agent in production with analyst review enabled, keeping humans in the loop until you are comfortable scaling to full automation.

• Scale automation: Gradually increase automated processing as confidence builds, while maintaining oversight capabilities for complex or high-risk cases.

• Dramatic operational efficiency: Customers achieve 10x volume processing with the same resources, with proven results like 65% reduction in manual reviews and over 6,000 hours saved annually.

• Enhanced risk detection quality: Replaces unpredictable manual checks with deep, structured, and auditable AI research that follows your exact policies every time.

• Rapid deployment without disruption: Integrates seamlessly with existing systems in days or hours, with no need to change your current KYC/AML infrastructure or vendors.

• Regulatory confidence: Uses transparent, explainable AI that leaves comprehensive audit trails—addressing the black-box concerns that have historically plagued AI in AML contexts.

• Improved customer experience: Clears legitimate customers faster by eliminating friction and reducing time-to-product-access, directly impacting revenue and satisfaction.
