Forest is where regulated companies run operations end-to-end across internal teams, AI agents, suppliers, and partners. Same data model, same workflows, same audit trail, regardless of who or what executes. Use Forest to coordinate humans, AI agents, and systems with full governance. Your data stays in your infrastructure; only the UI and configuration are hosted by Forest.

What you can build with Forest

Unified operator workflows

KYC reviews, AML alerts, dispute handling, supplier onboarding, orchestrated end-to-end with the data and actions inline.

AI agents under governance

Expose your data and workflows to AI agents (Claude, Dust, Decagon, internal builds) via MCP, with permissions and audit trails preserved.

Multi-actor orchestration

Run the same operation across internal teams, BPOs, partner banks, and AI agents, with one operating model and one audit trail.

Full decision traces

Every action carries its full context: who or what executed, what changed, why, and from where. Audit-ready.
