Sphinx

What Sphinx does

Sphinx provides AI agents that work directly on top of existing systems to run AML, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and SAR filings end-to-end. It automates compliance operations, reducing false positives and operational costs. The platform offers intelligent onboarding, total data clarity, and eliminates manual work across the full compliance lifecycle. Sphinx agents log in, click, and decide like employees, requiring no integration or engineering lift. They are designed for auditability and security, with transparent decisions and enterprise-grade security standards.

AI approach

Sphinx develops AI agents that automate financial crime compliance tasks such as AML, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and SAR filings. These agents operate directly on top of existing systems, mimicking human interaction by logging in, clicking, and deciding. They are designed to handle end-to-end compliance workflows, from intelligent onboarding and data enrichment to alert disposition, enhanced due diligence, and SAR/UAR filings. The AI agents are trained across the compliance stack, perform deep research by scouring various data sources, and build knowledge graphs to visualize connections between entities. The company emphasizes that its AI agents can reason and are not easily fooled by synthetic identities or deepfakes.
