Trigger a payout. Not the agent platform. Dust reasons, routes, and synthesizes. It doesn't gate writes behind approvals or produce an audit trail your compliance team can defend. That's Forest's job. Forest exposes your back-office as an MCP server. Your Dust agents connect via OAuth. They inherit your Forest permissions, your approval gates, and your audit trail out of the box. We wrote a quick article on this and we show you how we run Dust on our very own back-office for our internal use. The same way you would.

𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗵 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗬𝗕. 𝗪𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁. Ever tried to onboard companies across 10+ countries? You know the pain. Every register has its own quirks. Portugal sells extracts one at a time behind 12-digit codes. Some US registers refresh every 24 months.... A team building its own connectors spends weeks per jurisdiction. Plus, maintenance forever. Topograph fetches from the register at the moment of the query. 100 countries, one API. Verified data with the source document attached in seconds. Their clients report 70% less KYB verification time. They do one thing and do it well: they deliver the data and the document. No scoring, no decisioning, no rules engine. That's why Forest reads Topograph live and lets your drive event-driven re-KYB on top. When a beneficial owner actually changes or time is up, the workflow fires.

Your NCA now compares the procedures you described in your application with what your data actually shows. Detection is the mature part of the stack. Screening and monitoring tools like Sumsub and Chainalysis do that job well. You've built the loop after the signal: case, owner, delay, decision, trace. Miss one, and a good decision today shows up as a finding on your next inspection. It's Day 2. What you do now secures your future.

It was our Summer Onsite. Our first as Forest. And it was hot. Hot in many ways. Tech, brand, 35°C heat, river sundowner… Onsite tradition: we kicked off with a strategy update and dove into our team hackathon. Two days of building: AI agents on the business side, platform improvements for product and tech teams. By Thursday evening, we'd earned the sundowner on the Seine. Cool down, heat up. It was also the launch of our new brand: Forest. New website, sure. New lime-and-green sweatshirts for all. And everybody wearing it for the group photo in 35°C. That's commitment! 😅 It all came together in Friday morning demos. That's what happens when a mostly-remote team gets in the same room. And that's why we do it. Two days of working on hard problems together. It's the key to build alignment and momentum. Yep, that's hot.

Le premier FinTech Radar de Theodo Theodo FinTech (avec mind Fintech et France FinTech) vient de sortir. Masterpiece - merci Woody Rousseau, sacré travail de fond et de challenge ouvert. 83 CTOs de fintechs françaises. 40 technologies passées au crible. Quelques chiffres à retenir : → 75 % des fintechs laissent leurs équipes métier construire leurs propres agents IA → 71 % ont adopté le développement agentique → Le low-code traditionnel ? Plutôt hold Mais la phrase qui m'a arrêté est ailleurs. Pierre-Henri Cumenge, CTO Data & AI du groupe Theodo : « L'accès aux modèles est devenu une commodité, et la valeur se déplace vers la qualité de la donnée disponible et la capacité de l'organisation à la rendre exploitable par tous, en toute sécurité. À mes yeux, c'est le facteur le plus discriminant des cinq prochaines années. » Tout est là : Générer une interface, du code, un agent : commodité. Ce qui ne se commodise pas : qui a le droit de faire quoi sur vos données de production, qui comprend et valide l'introspection entre vos données et surtout : ou mettre l'intelligence business - les process - les workflows et comment les partager et les rendre actionnables ? Quand un agent IA opère vos opérations, plusieurs questions restent sans réponse dans la plupart des organisations : qui définit son périmètre ? qui trace ? qui répond à l'ACPR ? Qui s'assure de la validité du process ? De la bonne compréhension des fournisseurs et des relations entre les DBs derrière ? Je ferai un post la semaine prochaine sur le fameux "Harness" et les différents acteurs impliqués. C'est la conviction qu'on porte chez Forest Admin: l'interface se génère, la gouvernance se construit. Permissions, audit trail, validation humaine sur les actions critiques et surtout compréhension et challenge des acteurs de la chaine de valeur derrière CBS (Mambu, Griffin ou propriétaire), Saas & Baas (Xpollens Swan Skaleet), issuers ... Beaucoup de nos clients repensent leurs interfaces internes depuis Lovable ou Anthropic, construisent leurs agents sur Notion ou Dust et appellent le MCP Forest Admin (qui comprend les interactions, expose la business logic et isole et le bon workflow ou la bonne collection (merci Alpic pour le challenge)). Ce sont nos discussions du quotidien, rien n'est facile, clair, défini ... parfois même épuisant et seul la question du "Pourquoi" reste clé.

I spent 3 days at Money20/20 Europe last week in Amsterdam 🇳🇱. It felt like 2,000 companies there were pitching an AI agent for finance ops. KYC, KYB, fraud, compliance, disputes, onboarding... A year ago this conversation was theoretical. Today every regulated fintech I spoke to is already running an agent somewhere, or evaluating one this quarter. The pace is fast, really fast. But there's a catch: behind the agent, what's the foundation layer ? Most companies we spoke to feel the pain: how to connect AI to the infra while staying compliant? For an agent to do useful work inside a regulated company, 4 things have to be in place: 1️⃣ sovereign access to the actual operational data, 2️⃣ role-based permissions that hold up under audit, 3️⃣ a trail that survives a regulator's review, 4️⃣ a way for humans and agents to act on the same surface That layer isn't just a feature you add to your agent stack, it's infrastructure you build on top of your systems so agents can run. That’s what we are already building at Forest Admin. And it's where the next 18 months of work in regulated AI will be spent. Big thanks to Xpollens, Diligent, Alphaguard, Sinpex , ComplyAdvantage , Spendesk and many others for the conversations. Lots to build. Exciting time
