01 — PlayU's Agentic AI Platform

What PlayU does for payment operations.

Specialized autonomous agents deployed across your entire payment ecosystem — each independently monitoring, analyzing, and acting in real time.

Traditional Payment Systems

Rule-based.
Reactive. Slow.

  • →
    Rule-based fraud detection

    Static rules miss sophisticated patterns and generate high false positives.

  • →
    Manual compliance reviews

    Hours or days to review transactions against regulatory requirements.

  • →
    Fixed routing logic

    Cannot adapt to real-time network conditions, costs, or health.

  • →
    Reactive resolution

    Manual intervention required for every dispute and exception.

07 — FAQ

What buyers ask on day one.

Five questions we hear on every first conversation.

What model backs the agents?
Frontier models where they help (Anthropic, OpenAI), fine-tuned small models where they don't. Every agent's model choice is transparent and swappable.
Can I deploy inside my VPC?
Yes. Enterprise deployments run inside your VPC on AWS, GCP, or Azure. Raw payment data never leaves your boundary.
How do you evaluate agent quality?
A golden dataset per agent, continuous drift detection, and weekly red-team runs. Every deployed agent has a public quality dashboard.
What's the failure mode?
Every agent has a defined fallback — either a deterministic rule set or a human review queue. Autonomy is a dial, not a switch.
Do you replace our analysts?
No. Analysts supervise agents and handle escalations. Every deployment we've shipped increased analyst leverage, not headcount cuts.
