AI Fraud Detection Agent

A Fraud Detection Agent works your fraud alerts the way an investigator would: it enriches each alert, analyzes the transaction and counterparty, and assembles the evidence, clearing the manual investigation that eats your analysts' day. It builds the case; the analyst decides.

Tecla builds and operates it in your environment, on your data, under the controls your fraud team already answers to.

The shift underway

Fraud is growing faster than the teams fighting it, and most of the cost now sits in the investigation after the alert. The numbers show the scale, and where the pressure falls.

One system, eight agents

One agent, many specialists inside

The alert was never the bottleneck. The hours disappear into what comes after it: most of what gets flagged is a false positive, and analysts lose the day clearing them. That investigation is built here as a chain of specialized agents, each holding a role a human team already knows.

01

Intake

Normalizes each transaction and ties it to the right account, device, and identity as it arrives.

Reads the event
02

Signal Retriever

Pulls transaction history, device graph, KYC records, and behavioral patterns from your sources.

Gathers evidence
03

Risk Analyzer

Weighs the signals together rather than one at a time, surfacing what single rules read as normal.

Scores the risk
04

Link Analyst

Maps connected accounts, devices, and IPs to expose fan-out patterns and coordinated rings.

Finds the network
05

Case Builder

Assembles a plain-language case narrative with the evidence and a recommended disposition.

Writes the case

Human in the loop

Every flag carries the evidence behind it and a plain-language reason, so your analyst reviews judgment rather than raw data, and a person always makes the final call.

Scoped to you

This is a typical fraud detection build. The exact agents are scoped to the fraud you need to stop: some builds need a deepfake specialist, others a chargeback handler.

How it reaches production

Built, run, and owned, one phase at a time

Most fraud pilots stall between a working demo and a system a regulated team can rely on. A scoped brief, a named team, and someone accountable at each stage are what carry this one across.

Sprint

Scope, fixed price

We map the fraud surface, the data access, and the decision limits, then return a plan and a price before you commit.

AI Solutions Lead
Build

Built into your environment

Senior engineers assemble the investigation chain inside your environment, wired into your case system, transaction data, and the third-party sources you already query.

AI Systems Lead
Run

Monitored and improved

The system retunes on new patterns, and we report against the metrics set at scope: catch rate, false positives, time to decision.

Own

Yours, improving

The system is yours to keep, and it grows sharper against new fraud rather than going stale the way a static rules engine does.

How it holds up

Reliable enough to run on real transactions

In fraud, an agent that behaves unpredictably is worse than none. What makes this one safe to run is the structure around it: what it can touch, what gets reviewed, and where it stops.

Reviewed by trajectory

Every flag shows its work

Every flag carries the evidence and a plain-language path from signal to recommendation, so an analyst reviews the judgment behind each flag rather than a bare score.

Human in the loop

It never acts alone on the irreversible

The agent recommends and holds, but a person makes the call on anything irreversible. Authority limits are set during the build.

Tuned over time

It adapts as fraud does

A feedback loop learns from analyst decisions and emerging fraud, so catch rate holds as attackers change tactics.

Start the build

Automate the investigation, keep the judgment

A scoping call maps your fraud operation and returns what the agent would run, what stays with your team, and the fixed-price Sprint to build it.

What risk leaders ask first

What is an AI estate planning agent?

It reads a client's wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and beneficiary documents, summarizes the key terms, maps how assets flow, and flags planning gaps for the adviser. Tecla builds and operates it inside your environment, so estate document review takes minutes instead of hours, with the adviser owning the advice.

How is it different from estate software like Vanilla or FP Alpha?

Those give your team an estate planning platform to work in; the agent does the reading and analysis that feeds it. It ingests the documents, summarizes them, and surfaces the gaps, rather than leaving that review to a person. It connects document analysis into the planning workflow you already run.

Does the agent give legal or estate advice?

No. It reads documents and surfaces gaps, but the planning strategy and any legal work stay with the adviser and the client's attorney. The agent informs the conversation; it does not replace the professional or produce legal advice.

How accurate is the document reading?

Every summary and flag is sourced to the exact document and clause it came from, so an adviser can verify each reading before raising it with a client. Accuracy matters more than speed here, because a misread trust term would carry into the whole plan, which is why the agent cites rather than asserts.

What does Tecla's estate planning build cover?

Tecla scopes the build to your firm: which documents you review, how deep the tax and structure modeling goes, and how the summary reaches the client and their attorney. It runs inside your environment and Tecla operates it, keeping it current as rules change.

What documents can it read?

Wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designations, summarizing key terms and flagging outdated beneficiaries, deceased trustees, and missing documents. The build maps the document types your clients actually bring.

How is sensitive client data kept secure?

The agent runs in your environment, integrated with your systems, under your own access rules. Estate documents and client data stay within the boundaries your firm already answers to, and you own and control the system Tecla operates.

How long does a build take?

It starts with a fixed-price Tecla Sprint that scopes and prices the build before you commit. The Sprint maps your document types, modeling depth, and delivery, so the agent that follows fits how your firm actually runs estate reviews.

We work with estate attorneys already. Where does the agent fit?

It does the document review and gap-spotting that makes those attorney conversations sharper and better prepared, so advisers and attorneys spend their time on strategy, not first-pass reading. Tecla builds and operates it alongside your existing relationships.

How do we get started?

A scoping call maps your estate review workflow and returns what the agent would read and surface, how success is measured, and the fixed-price Sprint cost. Book a scoping call with Tecla to start.
