How an AI agent automatically checks counterparties before a deal

Before signing a contract, it's important to check the counterparty's reliability: pending lawsuits, debts, status in the register of dishonest suppliers. Manually collecting this data from scattered services takes a manager or lawyer up to 2-3 hours. The AI agent takes over this process: using the TIN or company name, it automatically parses information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the arbitration case file, the Federal Bailiff Service, and other databases, then generates a consolidated report with a risk assessment.

Setting up such an agent takes one day. You simply define a list of sources and evaluation criteria (e.g., a red flag if there are more than 5 lawsuits totaling over 1 million rubles). After integration with the CRM, the agent can automatically run a check when a new contact is added as a counterparty. The result comes as a brief summary labeled 'reliable', 'needs attention', or 'risky'.

Practical benefits: you reduce the likelihood of deals with problematic partners and save up to 10 hours of work time per week on routine checks. This is especially relevant for companies with a high volume of new suppliers or clients, where every minute counts.
