Agentic AI compliance specialist Kodex AI has agreed to be acquired by automated regulatory intelligence company CUBE. Calling the agreement “more than an acquisition,” Kodex AI framed the deal as the “beginning of a new era for regulatory technology” in a statement on the company’s website. The acquisition combines CUBE’s regulatory data and risk capabilities with Kodex AI’s agentic AI technology to offer an AI that is more co-worker than tool to assist compliance teams as they seek to implement ever-evolving regulations. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“Combining Kodex AI’s technology leadership with CUBE’s market-leading regulatory and risk data is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to redefine the compliance and risk space,” Kodex AI Co-Founder Thomas Kaiser said. “This is the perfect use case for advanced AI, and together we’ll push the boundaries of what’s possible.”
The technology integration, specifically the introduction of co-worker functionality, will automate complex processes, reduce operational costs, and leverage continuous monitoring and proactive updates. This will promote better—and easier—adherence to regulatory requirements. The addition of Kodex AI’s technology will also enable access to richer data sources and broader coverage across jurisdictions.
“Thomas and Claus (Lang) have built an exceptional and disruptive European technology business, pioneering the use of agentic AI through an agent-based architecture to solve regulatory complexities,” CUBE Founder and CEO Ben Richmond said. “Kodex AI is a natural next step in CUBE’s strategy, allowing us to instantly deliver enhanced, AI-based compliance and risk capabilities to our global customers.”
With 1,000 customers in banking, insurance, payments, asset and investment management, and more, CUBE specializes in Automated Regulatory Intelligence (ARI) and Regulatory Change Management (RCM).

Based in Berlin, Kodex AI made its Finovate debut at FinovateEurope 2024 in London.
