Governed AI agents · built in South Africa

Compliance that runs itself — and answers to you.

Casandra deploys governed AI agents that own your regulatory workflows. They perceive, decide and act — but nothing irreversible happens without your sign-off, and every step is auditable. First agent live: FIC screening.

55,262 mandated institutions Agent #1 live today Human-approved · fully auditable
What an agent actually does

Perceive & decide

It reads your client book against live regulatory data, scores the risk, and works out what needs to happen — continuously, not once a quarter.

Wait for your sign-off

Real agency, governed. Every consequential action pauses for a human to approve or dismiss. No black box, no surprises.

Act & certify

It files the approved outcome and issues a dated, auditable certificate. Proof of compliance, on demand.

The agent line-up

One platform. A growing family of agents.

Every accountable institution carries a stack of obligations. We build one governed agent per workflow — and they all run for the same customer.

The agents

Six agents. One mandated customer.

Casandra Labs ships a governed agent for each recurring compliance workflow. Sentinel is live today; the rest are in build. Same pattern every time — act autonomously, sign off with a human, log everything.

Use cases · live pitch

See Casandra work — the FIC screening agent, live.

This is our investor & partner walkthrough. Run the live agent inside it: watch it screen a client book, flag risk in red, wait for a human decision, then file and certify.

FSPs & credit providers

Never miss a list update

New sanctions or PEP entries trigger an automatic re-screen of the whole book — before you transact with a prohibited party.

Attorneys & estate agents

Audit-ready, every day

A dated compliance certificate on demand means a FIC inspection is a download, not a scramble.

Fintech & enterprise

Wired into your stack

Screening runs inside your onboarding flow via API — compliance as infrastructure, not another login.

What's the difference between free and paid?

Free is a manual spot-check that proves the product works. Paid is continuous, automated screening — the part that actually keeps you compliant, because compliance is a daily obligation, not a once-a-month glance.

How is it priced?

By the size of your client list, plus each additional agent you switch on. As your book grows or you add workflows, your plan grows with you.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes — pay for 10 months, get 12. It helps your cash flow and ours.

We're a large institution. What about volume?

The Enterprise / API tier wires Casandra straight into your KYC system with custom pricing. Book a call and we'll scope it.

casandra.africa/r/your-firm
A submitted application is a soft yes — a leading signal of interest. The partnership is confirmed only once a referral agreement is countersigned.

Application received

Thanks — we'll be in touch to talk terms and send a referral agreement. Nothing is binding until that's countersigned.

Framing test · H7

Governed vs Autonomous — which framing wins?

Only the message changes between the two flyers — palette, layout, type and stats are held constant, so preference can't be attributed to design. H7 passes if ≥70% favour the governed, human-approved framing.

If this were your firm — which would you trust with your FICA exposure?

Field surveys

Two survey instruments test our hypotheses with real respondents — one for prospects, one for channel partners.

Prospect survey

Mid-market accountable institutions — pain, current process, willingness to pay, and framing preference.

Channel-partner survey

Compliance consultants & accountant networks — appetite to refer or resell, and on what terms.

These open our built-in survey. To route to an external form instead (Google Forms, Typeform), set SURVEY_URLS.prospect / .partner in the page script.

More info

We turn one hard-won build into a product everyone with the same problem can rent.

Casandra is a South African agent studio. We find the regulatory work businesses can't keep up with, build a governed AI agent to own it, and put it on a platform the whole market can subscribe to.

Casandra Labs

The build engine

Labs ships each agent — governed, human-in-the-loop, fully auditable. Sentinel, our FIC screening agent, is live and running in a secure environment today.

Casandra Strategy

The wedge finder

Strategy scopes which compliance workflow is worth automating next and lands it with the clients who feel the pain. Every project funds the next product.

Why it matters

Every institution we keep compliant is one less crack in the system that put South Africa on the FATF greylist. Good business and a cleaner financial system — the same act.
