Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Taktile provides an AI decision platform used by financial institutions to automate and optimize risk decisions across the customer lifecycle, including onboarding, credit underwriting, fraud detection, transaction monitoring, anti-money-laundering case handling and insurance claims. The platform is designed so that risk and business teams can build, test and optimize decision logic without depending on engineering resources, combining AI agents, deterministic rules and human judgment within a single orchestration layer.

Product components described publicly include a library of pre-built specialist agents, configurable end-to-end solutions, an Agent Manager for setting guardrails and reviewing the chain of reasoning behind each output, real-time performance analytics for monitoring and tuning strategies, and a data marketplace with connections to third-party data and infrastructure providers such as Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, LexisNexis, Dun & Bradstreet, CRIF, Creditsafe, Socure, Middesk, Plaid, Codat, Fingerprint, OpenSanctions, Thomson Reuters, Baselayer, Snowflake, BigQuery, MongoDB, Slack, OpenAI and Anthropic. Taktile also runs "Taktile Labs," which publishes research and benchmarks such as KYBench, described as a public benchmark of AI-driven adverse media investigation.

The company was founded by Maik Taro Wehmeyer (CEO) and Dr. Maximilian Eber (CPTO), machine-learning researchers who met while doing PhDs at Harvard. Taktile states it is headquartered in New York City with offices in Berlin and London, and announced a new São Paulo office alongside its 2026 Series C.
