How Ninth Wave built AI-powered open finance onboarding on Amazon Bedrock

This article describes how Ninth Wave built Compass, a multi-agent AI onboarding assistant powered by Amazon Bedrock AgentCore that streamlines open finance API integration for financial institutions.

• Multi-agent architecture with intent-based routing to seven specialist agents for mapping, analysis, documentation Q&A, and readiness scoring
• Tenant-scoped grounding ensures each bank's data remains isolated, preventing cross-tenant data leakage in shared infrastructure
• Per-task model selection matches lightweight models to high-volume tasks and advanced models to complex reasoning tasks
• Enterprise security foundation includes AWS WAF, OAuth2/OIDC with MFA, per-tenant data isolation, and SOC 2/PCI DSS compliance
• Achieved 95% reduction in API mapping and analysis time while maintaining financial-services compliance standards
• Observability tracks per-agent metrics including invocation count, token usage, latency, and cost through CloudWatch and Grafana

Compass demonstrates how multi-agent AI systems can enhance regulated financial workflows through managed orchestration, security controls, and domain-specific task specialization.
