Example use cases

KYC screening for new customer onboarding

“We're bringing on a new corporate client called Apex Global Holdings. Can you screen them for adverse media and tell me if there's any high-risk news coverage, especially around financial crime or regulatory issues?”

Due diligence on M&A target company

“Before we move forward with acquiring TechVenture Solutions, I need you to run a comprehensive adverse media check on the company and its key executives. Flag anything related to sanctions, organized crime, or major regulatory violations.”

Risk assessment for ongoing compliance

“Can you check if there's been any recent negative news coverage on our partner Jonathan Mitchell? I want to know his current risk level and if there are any new findings related to terrorism, corruption, or financial crime since we last screened him.”
