Handshakes AI Agent: Due Diligence & Risk Screening Transformed

Handshakes has launched an AI-powered investigative tool called the Handshakes Agent. This new agent automates corporate due diligence, risk screening, vendor onboarding, and conflicts-of-interest checks. What's interesting is it draws on over a decade of regulatory intelligence and expertise. The Handshakes Agent acts more like an experienced analyst, reasoning the way experts do, prioritizing red flags, and evolving risk assessments. It uses official data sources, including company registries, global watchlists, and court records. The Agent retrieves entity reports, maps ownership networks, screens risk databases, and creates a summarized report from just a simple entity-name query. This new tool aims to help compliance teams mitigate financial crime and regulatory risks more effectively.
