What is Forest?

Forest is an operational infrastructure platform built for regulated companies that need a secure way to run humans, AI agents, BPOs, LLMs, suppliers, and workflows together. The platform acts as an operational backend between a company’s data, compliance suppliers, human teams, AI agents, and tools connected through MCP. Forest keeps data inside the customer’s infrastructure while giving teams and agents a shared control plane for business logic, smart actions, workflows, permissions, RBAC, and audit trails. It is designed for regulated environments where agentic operations must remain compliant, auditable, and under control. Forest supports onboarding workflows on top of KYC and KYB providers such as Sumsub, Onfido, Veriff, Persona, and Trulioo. These workflows can combine identity verification, business registry checks, beneficial-owner discovery, document reviews, screening checks, risk scores, jurisdiction logic, and segment-based routing. Routine cases can be triaged by agents, while edge cases can be routed to human reviewers. Every provider call, AI agent step, workflow event, and reviewer decision is recorded at the record level so audit evidence is created as work happens. Forest also helps teams control agents from different sources, including vertical vendors, internal engineering teams, automation tools, and big-tech runtimes. Its implementation approach maps existing databases, providers, and undocumented processes before configuring workflows, then moves selected processes into production with compliance checks and performance audits. By combining operational workflows, MCP access, agent governance, live data connections, permissions, RBAC, audit trails, KYC and KYB orchestration, implementation support, and regulated-process controls, Forest helps companies modernize operations without losing oversight.

What is ARGOS Identity?

ARGOS helps organizations simplify identity verification, business verification, fraud prevention, and compliance through one AI-powered platform. With ARGOS ID Check, businesses can build customized KYC and onboarding workflows using document authentication, facial matching, selfie and liveness verification, AML screening, age verification, and advanced fraud detection. ARGOS supports identity documents from more than 200 countries, making it well suited for companies serving customers across multiple markets. The platform’s modular approach allows organizations to enable only the services they need. Built-in risk controls can detect altered or fraudulent documents, deepfakes, duplicate accounts, bots, VPNs, and other indicators of suspicious activity. This helps businesses reduce onboarding friction without sacrificing security or compliance. ARGOS Omni brings the same automation to KYB and operational workflows. It can automate document requests, extract business information, perform registry and AML searches, identify ownership and UBOs, and route cases based on customized rules. Detailed audit trails provide visibility into each decision and help teams maintain consistent processes. From individual identity checks to complex business verification, ARGOS enables faster onboarding, fewer manual reviews, stronger fraud prevention, and more scalable compliance operations.
