What is Xapien?
Xapien is a fully automated due diligence platform. It uses machine learning and natural language processing to interpret the world’s knowledge for you, providing clear, actionable insights about people and companies.
It finds the story behind the data points, turning complexity into clarity. It’s not just about having access to information — it’s about making sense of it all, anywhere, anytime.

Is our Natural Language Processing (NLP) 100% accurate?
We pride ourselves on our accuracy and see reducing false positives as one of our core selling points. But our NLP and inference goes far beyond name matching. Using Machine Learning, we have taught the system to identify the ‘meaning’ of words, for example to “poach” eggs being different to “poaching” elephants and also when potentially risky terms are negated, for example working in “counter”-narcotics.
That said, what we are trying to do is very hard and no AI is 100% accurate so there will be times when we get it wrong. Please get in touch with your Customer Success manager directly to let us know about these instances as we are continually working to improve the tool. The more examples of where it has gone wrong, the better we can make it.... Read more about our NLP

Get an understanding of client risk within minutes
Search engines give results, but too many results.
Screening tools give data, but not enough context.
Xapien's fully-sourced due diligence reports give clear insights to support risk-based onboarding decisions. By running automated reports upfront, compliance teams can take a practical risk-based approach, focusing more resources on high-risk clients while speeding up the onboarding process for low-risk ones.
Interpret AML data within a broader context
Traditional screening heavily relied on ID verification (IDV) and anti-money laundering (AML) checks. While effective for basic clearance, these methods only provide binary yes or no answers, failing to offer meaningful insights into a client's risk profile.
Our AI reads, categorises and summarises real-time information from across the internet and compliance datasets. We search for context, not keywords. It surfaces diverse risks translated from over 100 languages in concise risk summaries.
Facilitate exceptional client care
Client onboarding is a traditionally slow process. This results in a fragmented relationship between fee-earners and compliance teams. However, compliance teams that use Xapien are no longer viewed as gatekeepers. In fact, they become business enablers, helping fee-earners to better understand and serve their clients.
Xapien-powered compliance teams are the business enablement department. They run Xapien reports to conduct “initial due diligence” on all new clients and deliver insights as soon as they begin onboarding.
KaurMaxwell needed a tool capable of conducting thorough web searches to strengthen their KYC checks. While its lawyers already conducted PEPs and sanction checks, these sources are limited in scope and didn’t protect the firm from wider reputational and regulatory risks. But they have a small team and couldn’t afford the time commitment for a more comprehensive search. They need to build the business.
Xapien bridges the gap. In minutes, it surfaces information that would have taken days or weeks to sift through. This gives its lawyers a fully sourced and summarised due diligence report giving an upfront view of a client’s background and risk profile. This enables confident, fast decision-making on all onboarding decisions.

Customer Stories
Dow Jones Risk & Compliance
In any litigation, counterparty research can uncover case-winning nuggets of information. However, conducting deep counterparty research for every case was a luxury KaurMaxwell couldn’t afford. Failing to thoroughly profile opponents and all the different stakeholders involved meant they risked not finding those nuggets.
KaurMaxwell’s lawyers now use Xapien to profile opponents and third parties in minutes. Xapien’s AI triangulates between compliance datasets, corporate records and open source media to uncover business and personal associations that could be fundamental to the case. This has saved them countless hours of connecting all the dots.
