🛡️ Beyond Chatbots: Building a Financial Compliance Agent on Databricks
Forget dashboards that just show you what's wrong. What if your data could tell you why it's wrong, and point to the exact rule it's breaking?
Financial institutions are sitting on mountains of transaction data and regulatory documents, but connecting the two in real time is still a manual, error-prone process.
In this session, you will learn:
- Real-Time Compliance Intelligence How a financial compliance agent queries transaction data and searches policy documents at the same time, telling you not just what's wrong, but why, and where in the policy it says so.
- Built on Databricks How the agent was designed and implemented end to end, combining structured transaction data with unstructured regulatory content.
- Lessons from the Build The real-world challenges, trade-offs, and insights gained from taking an AI compliance agent from concept to working solution.
- Live Demo A hands-on walkthrough of the agent in action, showing exactly how it connects transactions to the rules that govern them.
Join us for a practical look at how AI agents can transform compliance in the financial sector.
