Meet Alloy’s AI Assistant for risk and identity
Feb 23, 2026
Your smartest new fraud and compliance ally
Agentic AI is quickly becoming table stakes for how modern teams work. But when it comes to financial fraud and compliance use cases, most of it still falls short.
Often, these tools can analyze data but can’t explain decisions, take action, or operate inside the systems teams actually rely on. The result is more dashboards, more context switching, and more manual work where automation was supposed to help.
Alloy’s AI Assistant was built to solve that problem. It’s a native, context-aware AI agent that operates directly inside Alloy’s identity and fraud prevention platform.

The AI Assistant can:
- Instantly analyze the underlying drivers of open cases, summarize risk signals, and recommend tailored next steps aligned to your specific policies.
- Handle the most time-consuming work in watchlist hit resolution and contextualize matches with linked evidence, helping analysts quickly rule out false positives.
- Accelerate business due diligence by synthesizing web research and Alloy-integrated data into clear, auditable decisions.
- Corroborate key KYC attributes across trusted sources and flag gaps, discrepancies, or risk indicators to speed resolution.
Designed to scale: The AI Assistant was built to scale across every review surface on the Alloy platform. The above actions highlight a sample of its ever-expanding use cases.
Why Alloy’s AI Assistant works
Not all agentic tools are built for high-stakes risk decisions. To be viable for fraud and compliance outcomes, agentic solutions should always be able to:
- Explain exactly why a decision occurred
- Execute recommended next steps
- Reason across historical and ongoing data
- Cite canonical, contractual data sources
- Commit outcomes back to the system of record
Alloy’s AI Assistant satisfies all five of these requirements, making it the most comprehensive agentic AI solution for risk management.
Let’s break down each of its features that allow this:
Native understanding of decisioning logic
Risk decisions depend on multistep strategies that evolve over time. The AI Assistant can trace outcomes back through the underlying rules, signals, and decision steps that produced them.
Why this matters: Agents without native context are forced to make error-prone assumptions, or in other words, guess. And in risk management, guessing is not acceptable.
Ability to act inside the workflow
Many AI agents can generate recommendations, but require humans to transfer the result, update case notes, and complete the action. Alloy's AI Assistant doesn't leave teams with legwork. As part of Alloy’s suite of Actionable AI tools, the AI Assistant can execute approved decisions directly within the workflow, eliminating manual copy-paste and re-entry.
Why this matters: Automation only scales when analysis and action happen in the same system.
Access to full lifecycle data
Risk doesn’t stop at onboarding. AI Assistant reasons across onboarding, fraud monitoring, transactions, logins, and account events — not just a single point in time.
Why this matters: Agents that cannot reason across historical and ongoing data miss patterns that only emerge over time.
Grounded in canonical, enterprise-grade data
LLMs are highly agreeable. Without authoritative data, they will confidently hallucinate. Alloy’s AI Assistant is built to stay tethered to verified sources, providing access to over 250 of the industry’s leading enterprise-grade solutions for identity and fraud management.
Why this matters: Trustworthy decisions require verified sources, not potentially inaccurate web-searched data.
Auditable, centrally-recorded outcomes
In risk workflows, an agent is only useful if its work becomes part of the official record. AI Assistant can write outcomes back into Alloy, preserving a complete audit trail for decisions, evidence, and actions.
Why this matters: If outcomes live outside the system of record, teams lose control, consistency, and auditability.
