How Runtime works

1

Create a specialized agent

Define its job, add your procedures, and set the conditions for approval or escalation.

New agent

Create a banking ops agent that handles RFIs, hold-harmless requests, and returns of funds from our partner bank, verifies against our ledger, and drafts replies for my approval.

Work across the systems you already use.

Give agents approved access to your payment platforms, support tools, databases, and internal systems so they can gather context and move cases forward.

Work with your existing support, payment, risk, and internal tools through supported integrations and APIs.

Enterprise-grade security for financial data

AuditedSOC 2Compliant

Your cloud or on-prem

We never train on your data. Run Runtime in our cloud, your own VPC, or fully on-prem, and purge session data on the retention schedule you set.

PII and PCI controls

Redact PII before an agent ever sees it and keep cardholder data out of scope. Data policies apply per agent, per tool, on every run.

SOC 2 compliant

Independently audited against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. Encrypted at rest and in transit.

SSO and role-based access

Single sign-on for your whole team. Ops and support see different data, and money movement waits behind approval gates.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Runtime for?
Runtime is built for financial institutions: fintechs, banks, payment platforms, and investment funds. Most teams start with one queue, like support tickets, partner-bank requests, fraud alerts, or reconciliation breaks, and then adjacent teams build their own agents on the same platform.
We’re regulated. What does the audit trail look like?
Every session is recorded end to end: the request that triggered it, every query and tool call the agent made, what each one returned, the cost, and the final result. Money movement and other sensitive actions wait behind approval gates, and access is role-based, so ops and support see different data. When compliance, an auditor, or your partner bank asks how a case was handled, you export the run instead of reconstructing it.
How do agents work inside Slack? Do we always have to tag them?
You can tag them, or let them work proactively. Each team gets its own sandboxed agent in Slack with a name you choose, like @runtime-finance, @runtime-support, or @ada, that you @mention with a question or a task. You can also point it at a channel so it picks up new messages on its own without anyone tagging it. Either way, it replies in a thread with the result, the source rows it used, the cost of the run, and an Open Session button so you can step into the sandbox if you need to dig deeper.
What integrations come out of the box?
Runtime ships with first-class connectors for the systems financial teams already run. That includes payments and billing (Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks), support (Zendesk, Intercom, Pylon), data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), knowledge bases (Notion, Confluence, Google Docs), alerting (PagerDuty, Sentry, Datadog), and engineering (GitHub, Linear). Beyond that, you can bring any tool with an API key, including your ledger, your card processor, and your core banking provider. The agents reach it through its CLI, MCP server, SDK, or REST API, the same way one of your engineers would call it.
Does an agent ever touch our raw production data?
No. Agents work against sandboxes that mirror or sample your data with the policies you set, including PII redaction and row-level scopes. Production writes happen only through reviewed actions or pull requests, so the agent never edits live systems on its own.
Can I self-host Runtime?
Yes. You can run Runtime fully inside your own cloud with your own models, sandboxes, and storage, or use our hosted version. Policies and audit logs follow your team across both. Talk to the team if you want help getting set up.
