Themis has launched its new platform, AI Investigator, which aims to transform how organisations detect and prevent financial crime.
The launch comes in response to the growing demand for more effective due diligence tools that can deliver rapid, accurate results. Traditional processes are often slow and resource-heavy, leaving firms vulnerable to regulatory breaches and criminal exploitation. AI Investigator has been developed to address these challenges head-on.
Founded as a RegTech firm specialising in anti-financial crime solutions, Themis has built a reputation for delivering innovative tools to help financial institutions, corporates, and public sector organisations strengthen their compliance frameworks. The company works with clients across professional services, private equity, real estate, and government, giving it broad exposure to the complex risks facing different industries.
The new AI Investigator platform uses generative AI and domain-specific models trained on Themis’ proprietary data to automate investigations. Built with input from hundreds of compliance professionals and supported by an Innovate UK grant, the platform performs risk analysis across ownership structures, adverse media, and regulatory filings in real time. What previously took days or weeks can now be completed in minutes.
Key features of AI Investigator include AI-driven investigations powered by trained AI agents that trigger automated checks with minimal input, large-scale behavioural analysis and pattern matching based on conviction data, and financial crime indicators derived from Themis’ proprietary knowledge base. The system is cloud-agnostic and can be integrated across sectors and technology stacks, making it scalable for firms of all sizes.
The platform’s design reflects the input of Themis’ wide-ranging client base, ensuring that it meets the needs of regulated and unregulated sectors alike. In addition, Abu Dhabi’s fast-growing AI ecosystem, supported by a AED 13bn national strategy to make the UAE a global leader in AI by 2031, has provided fertile ground for Themis’ development of proprietary LLMs and agentic AI trained by financial crime experts.
Themis CEO Dickon Johnstone said, “When we look back in a few years, we’ll wonder how due diligence was ever done without AI. By making checks faster and broader in reach, our AML-trained AI agents turn this into something accessible and instinctive for all. By putting enhanced due diligence into everyone’s hands, we are truly democratising due diligence.”
He added, “That’s how we finally gain the upper hand in the fight against financial crime and stop the deliberate exploitation of people, businesses and the natural world around us by criminals and organised crime groups.”
