Meet Vera. The AI onboarding analyst for DIFC and ADGM firms.
Not the banks: the regulated boutiques, brokers and corporate service providers around them, where onboarding still runs on email, a checklist and a chase. Vera collects the file, chases what's missing, and logs every step and every disclosure for the compliance officer who has to answer for it.

Onboarding still runs on email, a checklist and a chase.
The documents arrive in the wrong order, half of them are missing, and a senior person spends the week asking for them again. Knot builds the agents that clear it, and runs them alongside your team.

Each runs in your tone, wired to your stack, with human-in-the-loop where it matters. We map the highest-ROI one first.
The jobs it takes off your plate.
Triage & qualify
Every enquiry is greeted, triaged and qualified against your criteria before it ever reaches an advisor's desk.
KYC without the chase
knot requests the documents, checks completeness, and flags anything that needs a human eye. It never approves anything itself.
A clean audit trail
Every message, handoff and approval is logged. Compliance sees the whole conversation, not a summary of it.

Asked on almost every call.
- Can compliance sign this off?
- That is the design brief. Approved scripts, scoped answers, a full audit trail, and human-in-the-loop on anything sensitive.
- How does KYC collection work?
- knot requests the documents, checks completeness and format, and packages them for your team's verification. Approval always sits with a named human.
- What does it never do?
- It never gives regulated advice, never quotes terms it has not been given, and never completes an application on its own. It takes the file right up to that line, identity checked and documents collected, then hands your advisor a case ready to assess rather than a name and a number.
- Where does the data live?
- Data handling and residency are scoped to your requirements during setup and agreed before anything goes live.
