Forest

Ops infrastructure for regulated companies, connecting teams, AI agents, data and supplier

Visit Forest

Forest is an operations platform for regulated companies, built to run back-office work such as KYC onboarding, KYB and UBO checks, transaction monitoring, and dispute handling on a single system. It connects databases, compliance suppliers, and AI agents so that human teams, agents, BPOs, and workflows operate on the same data under shared permissions, with record-level audit logging.

The platform deploys a backend service (Node.js or Ruby) inside the customer's own infrastructure, with an MCP Server exposing data, schemas, actions, and workflows to AI agents. It connects SQL and NoSQL databases, REST and GraphQL APIs, and SaaS tools with automatic schema introspection. Core capabilities include case inboxes with dispatch rules and SLAs, multi-step workflows with approvals and escalation, fine-grained roles and scopes applied to both humans and agents, record-level audit logs with reasoning traces for agent steps, and regulator-ready exports. Integrations span fintech and compliance providers, AI agent runtimes, and databases.

Forest is aimed at fintech and regulated operations teams, including neobanks, payments, lending, crypto, and wealth management. It offers a free sign-up option alongside demo-based access; specific plan and edition details are not stated on these pages.
