Frequently asked questions

Should I deploy a compliance agent separately or is it built into finance agents?

Some finance agents include basic compliance features, but dedicated compliance agents provide deeper monitoring, audit trails, and regulatory mapping. For regulated industries, a separate compliance agent is usually worth it.

Which agent type should a bank deploy first?

Most banks start with either a support agent for customer inquiries or a compliance agent for regulatory monitoring. The choice depends on whether your biggest pain point is customer volume or audit preparation.
