Unit21, the leading AI Risk Infrastructure platform for fraud prevention and AML monitoring, today announced Agentic Task Builder, a new capability that lets any fraud or compliance team use AI to build the exact investigation task their program needs—in plain English, in minutes. Built on top of Unit21's existing AI Risk Infrastructure, which already triages alerts, investigates cases, and drafts regulatory narratives, the Agentic Task Builder removes the last major bottleneck in risk and compliance automation.
Unit21 launches Agentic Task Builder for custom AI investigation tasks in plain English.
Built on AI Risk Infrastructure that triages alerts, investigates cases, and drafts narratives.

Fraud Consortium covers over 100M of U.S. adult population.
The Agentic Task Builder produces two components: online search powered by generative AI for adverse media or sanctions exposure with citations, and data analysis for transaction patterns, entity behavior, or counterparty activity with structured AI-generated analysis. Both task types become building blocks of the AI Agent workflow, with the agent's final narrative combining all task outputs into a coherent investigation picture. Every run is explainable, auditable, and human-approved.
The Agentic Task Builder reasons over your environment the way an experienced analyst would. When you describe a task, the builder looks across the data already in your Unit21 environment to understand what a task like this should actually do, and asks questions back to clarify your intent. As it works, it runs an in-built quality judge over its own output, loops on itself to find where it can improve, and recommends changes to its own prompting logic.
Tyler Allen, CEO of Unit21, stated: "The best compliance teams of the future won't be the biggest—they'll be the ones where every analyst has AI built to their program's exact risks, running alongside them on every investigation. The Agentic Task Builder is how we make that real: describe the task you need in plain English, and the agent runs it consistently, explainably, and at a scale no team could match on their own. The analyst with the right AI by their side doesn't just work faster—they see more, catch more, and make a meaningful dent in the growing financial crime problem."
Before any task is saved, teams can backtest it against historical alerts to compare outputs and validate behavior before deploying. Once a task is live, teams can sample results by where analysts and the agent agree and disagree, broken out per queue and per agent, and set up progressive autonomy at the queue level. This launch follows strong customer demand, with AI Agents having reviewed over 1.5 million alerts and counting.
